What are some methods for persistant user tracking?
I need to limit the number of times a person can search for certain material without forcing them
to create a login.
Currently I am using cookies to limit the number of searches a person can do but, quiting and
removing the cookie
file easily defeats that. Storing their IP address locally would work but then not everyone has a
static ip. Would
grabbing the MAC from their ethernet card be doable? Again alot of people use modems.
Any thoughts or resources you know of?
tks
