Hi list,
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.

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 )

Anything else ?
How the hell do they recognize me ?

Matteo Giannone
