Even if they change their IP is it still traceable? I always wondered about that...
I don't know what that means.Quote:

VB, the software that runs this place, logs IP addresses. So if you log in under your account with someone else's IP address (ISP), it will tell me.Quote:

You've logged in with 6 so far. All of them show your name, no one else's.Quote:

Well yeah, unless I host another bbq, and 5 people are on my wifi or something....I know what you are saying though
That is why I don't let Mrs. RogerThat99 have an account. I wouldn't want to confuse anything. :DQuote:

Some sites ban both the old and new user. So far I've only banned the new user. The old user usually gets the idea :DQuote:

Usually. The only time that gets sketch is when it's cellular.Quote:

Spoofing your IP address is easy, not changing it. But, people always slip up at some point in time...and is the reason many hackers are eventually caught.
I imagine if admin blocked IP addresses from foreign countries, it would significantly reduce the amount of spoofed IP addresses.
As a FWIW, there would still only be one public facing IP address.Quote:

Your ISP only provides you with one IP address.
Now go out and hack something :)
I'm going to listen to C-2 he's an expert....lol
Lol, not an expert, at least not yet. I simply know a little about a lotta different things - none of which have made me any money :angry: :happy:Quote:

Doe sthat make sense?
Yuppers :)Quote:
