Software is client side: - Sys::Hostname Software is server side and client is a willing participant: - cookies without any registration process - registration + email confirmation + login/cookies/api-tokens/etc Software is server side and client is malicious or unwilling to provide information: - use the IP address instead of the hostname - browser fingerprinting (Browser::FingerPrint) - reverse DNS lookup (gethostbyaddr() or Net::DNS) - shodan (WWW::Shodan::API) - nmap, particularly the NSE scripts (Nmap::Parser)
