You can never get the MAC address of a user connected to your website, when a socket connection occurs between the destination (your website’s server) and a source (client’s computer) you can only get the source IP address, for the MAC address it’s never sent over the socket connection.
(Client <–> Server), in order to get the IP address of a user.
You can use this code to get the mac address of the client machine in asp.net c#,
public string GetIPAddress()
{
System.Web.HttpContext context = System.Web.HttpContext.Current;
string ipAddress = context.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ipAddress))
{
string[] addresses = ipAddress.Split(',');
if (addresses.Length != 0)
{
return addresses[0];
}
}
return context.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
}
