Getting local IP address

1 New Member
Hi,

I'm trying to figure how I can programatically get the the IP addresses of all interfaces. That is, I'm in a Linux machine, and I want a C program to find out the IP adderess that the machine has (like I can get with /sbin/ifconfig). One way I'm aware of, is to parse /proc/net/if_inet6, but this seems to be connected to IPv6, I want to support also IPv4. What other ways exists to find this info ?

thanks in advance,
Megatron

I'm looking to try to get a users MAC and/or NetBIOS name when they visit my website. It somehow can be done, I'm not sure with PHP, but it can be done. Does anyone have any idea how? As an example check out: http://stealthtests.lockdowncorp.com/ On that site, there are tests that will display NetBIOS & MAC addresses.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
