[PHP] Other ways to identify a host? #1
Besides getting a client's IP address, what are other ways to track/identify each individual visit?

*An Answer* to your question via a quick Google search.
Truth be told, that information isn't too hard to come by as most visitors don't do much in the way of obfuscating their actual information. Even I don't merely because there remain other avenues of openly preventing such.
And what you are able to gather information wise can be inferred and pieced together to gather an overall picture of the individual you're looking to track.
Alot of the above is going to require some "detective" work using logical deduction methods based upon the available Intel of your target.

I am not asking how do I get it, I am asking what other information could I use to identify someone.

Well, with the IP address, you could get the current location of the slave+the ISP of the slave. Getting the ISP has its own benefits. With $_SERVER, you could also get the proxy that the slave is using(in some schools, the students are given special proxies for their internet connection).
With USER AGENT of $_SERVER, you can get the OS and the browser that the slave is using. Basically, the IP address is the most important part that can be used for DOXing.

Few weeks back I was curious about same thing. First idea which came to my mind was mac address, but seems it can't be taken from remote device (works only if device is on your local network).
So ip address + user agent seems the only and most accurate way to identify each visit.

But it depends on your needs. If you are creating something like visits counter, then you could use cookies with last visit's time. This would help you to track who has already visited your site that day/week/month and you would be able to see quite accurate statistic.
