As soon as a user hits one of our servers, we know the OS, browser, installed software and we can read cookies from other sites if we want... so you spoofed your IP and used a proxy.. .whoopie, we pull cookies from other sites that probably have your real IP.... ooops forgot to flush all that data before going dark?.. I will stick to my opinion.. you can not make yourself invisible on the net... (well lets say that 99.99% of users can not) |
I agree...in that scenario. But take a criminal with a slick laptop load or VMWare image sitting in his car who doesn't care about the IP because it's a hot spot IP or some residential open WAP and not his cable modem. He's not there to browse email or the .org or anything else that may attach identifying data....all he wants to do is launch some code against your site or whatever....you can glean all of the OS,cookies, and internal data you want but all that will be after the fact. So in this scenario...it is absolutely possible. You will never catch this guy or know who he is...you can only defend.
