If someone's going to hack your system, presumably they're not going to be dumb enough to do it from their OWN IP address. (That's like making threatening phone calls from your home landline phone! Duh!) Well, I guess you're right ... there ARE people dumb enough to do it, so capturing IP addresses might be useful.
