Mac Address
What's the URL to where grc.com tells you your MAC address?
Shields Up! and Probe My Ports at https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 tells you your IP address. This is not at all difficult to do using server-side technology. The MAC address is a unique hardware identifier given to your Ethernet card. In Windows NT and 2000, you can see your MAC address using "ipconfig /all", in Windows 9x, use "winipcfg".
I'm just curious, if grc.com is capable of telling me my MAC address without requiring me to allow an ActiveX component or signed Java applet to run on my PC, I would like to see it, then I'll tell you how he's doing it.
