> 5) MAC addresses

MAC addresses are not unique across the entire network industry.  They are
unique only within a particular manufacturer's own products, but multiple
manufacturers may overlap IDs.

If you use a GUID, it usually includes MAC data when being generating, if
network cards are installed on the machine.
