[VB6] - Multi-User Chat Example (Winsock)

[Calaf]

You can make your client send a hardware GUID (like hard drive # or something) and then ban that. Or ban an IP range...That is how a lot of anti-cheat software works in games (PunkBuster).

But if you plan to send a hardware GUID or any personal info like that you should warn the user before they use/install your program.

ty Digirev but here my questions:

1) Why should I warn the user? I mean, do you think such actitude is under right?And if it's under right then what the users might do against me?
2) How to get those hardware informations by using Vb?
3) How a client might protect itself from being tracked that way?

ty in advance
