I love you. That's genius.

Well..
The only problem I see with this is, a troll using this to gather some.. sensitive information. Can you gather a list of the useful things to keep trolls out? (like hard drive serials, motherboard serials, anything to identify the computer?) | |
Congratulations, you've just tied BYOND further to good old Windows. Much as a graphical linux client is unlikely for a while, please don't go putting more barriers in the way of it.

That could be a Windows solution. Their are a few obvious way to do this on Linux and Macs however. For one, you could place a file with that specific value in the /root folder or something. Of course, that means that you need an installation executable for it.

Is there a list anywhere? you can find information about all of the WMI classes here. hard-drive # the Win32_LogicalDisk class gives you information about hard drives, as well as floppy and optical drives. queries about this class can be slow as a result. motherboard # check out the Win32_BaseBoard class and Win32_MotherboardDevice class. i've never used either of them so i'm not sure if they'll reliably contain the information you want. internal IP? Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration. the ipaddress property is a string array which isn't supported by the code i posted, but its an easy fix to make it support arrays. don't rely on all of this information being present and valid. your best bet is to use this to supplement a simple key/ip banning system. and if you do use this information to ban people, make sure the information is valid first. you don't want to ban someone with a hard disk serial number that is "null" or "undefined" otherwise you may be banning a lot of people =) | |
