how to find a client's serial number of Hard Desk via PHP?

Hello All.

this is my first time joining this site and i hope to get satisfied

Does anyone know of a way to find a client's serial number of Hard Desk via PHP or Java or any language? or any good idea to ban bad users from my MGChat or My website .. because after I banned him they restart there mechain then he will get new ip address because he have daynmic IP (Dialup Account)
I would be thankful to inform me .

Pixel,

As far as I'm aware, there is no way to retrieve the value you're after using PHP... I don't think Java would provide that functionality either.

If I would have to take a guess, you may have some luck with either C, C++ or perhaps even COM...

Anybody else?

to my knowledge, there is absolutely no way, at least legally, that you can ban a person with a dynamic IP, you ban their ip they will just continue to come back.

What exactly do you mean by serial number??

php won't do it... being a server side language, you're limited to the data passed over HTTP... and trust me, its not there! (think of the security issues)

similarly, i'm not sure java would handle it either... if you're referring to what i think you are, its generally only used in a windows environment... java being a portable language, its incapable of finding certain information about specific systems...

one work-around could be to use C++... compile a DLL containing the certain information you want (again, limited to windows) and import that into Java

Dynamic IP addresses are usually within a specified range... if you really wanted to, you could ban the range... however this could limit other normal users.

Quite frankly, if you simply want to get rid of someone in a chat program... the best way is to ignore them... human's general nature is to get bored and give up... sometimes a little social engineering will go a long way.

mute the sucker

EDIT... why dont u have a popup where the user can input their number, then u store it.
