I have made all tests on that website : none revealing informations that can recognize me. I mean: if mozilla would send its SERIAL NUMBER (if it exsts) that is a way to identify my own copy of mozilla.
which informations can a server get about a client running M$ windows XP ? I cannot access a website because i have been "banned" and I'd like to understand how they recognize me for sure.All sorts of stuff. Visit browserspy (http://gemal.dk/browserspy/) for a bunch of tests. Java is one excellent way to steal the goods (and many browserspy tests use that). The 'short' answer is, however, probably a simple IP check.I mean: - a simple ip check doesn't work with dynamic addresses... - cookies can be deleted - computer name can be changed - mac address can be changed (even I wasn't able to, because I have a usb dsl modem and I cannot change its MAC working with regedit or using tools like smac )MAC address? That's not visible past the DSLAM. As for dynamic addresses, have you kept track? I have (supposed) dynamic addresses at home and it's not changed in over a year. You should dump the DSL modem and get a conventional ethernet one. Then change the MAC on your ethernet card at will (this will get you new addresses). There probably is a way to access the innerds of the USB one but you'd probably have to take it apart and locate the serial port. ~Mike.Anything else ? How the hell do they recognize me ?
