Basically, it's a 'find logged in users and then clone their IP/MAC' hack.
But doesn't this assume that all net access will be through the browser. When I use a hotspot, I use the browser to open the session and then everything else I do is done over SSH or PPTP. In this instance, cookies on the browser are pointless - if somebody clones my MAC/IP after I've closed the browser window, how does a cookie help?What I'd like to see is the "Cookie" tied to the user's identity along with MAC address and IP address.
Yeah that's true. I guess I was in the mindset of web hotspot <--> web cookie rather than general internet access.But doesn't this assume that all net access will be through the browser.
