I got hardware ID banned from a game.
is there any way i can spoof my hardware id on a mac?
i can do it on windows...
 
Hmmm, usually this means you did something really bad. Don't think there is anyway around it.

yeah, i kinda did.
but its really messed up because staff contacted me ingame, and told me to make sure it doesnt happen again, and that i wasnt going to be banned...

but yeah.

I REALLY hope theres a way around this though
 
Sorry, but what is HDD (hard drive?) spoofing and hardware ID? I thought the only way to ban someone permanently was by using their Mac (not Macintosh/OS X related) address that's on a network card. Am I missing something?
 
He must have had his Mac Adress banned, due to why you got banned im not going to tell you how to fix it, but its incredibly simple.
 
And if you go through a router, how would a host know your MAC address? Doesn't the router hide it? Externally aren't you showing the router's MAC address?
 
I don't think this was from a website, but from a downloadable game. That's how they got the MAC address to ban him.
