Detect MAC Addresses? - via browser, without a plugin

Question

For validation purposes, is there a way to detect a user\'s mac address as they\'re signing up on a webpage, for example? I\'d prefer a LAMP approach, but also open to ASP.N

Answer 1

Trying to detect mac-addresses is not a good idea.

But you can use a Java Applet to do so. The user will have to allow it to run though.

The Java Applets can be embedded in any webpage

Here is how you do it http://techdetails.agwego.com/2008/02/11/37
