    Request everyone's name at the door. Then make an IP to physical location map. Sniff every single packet from the server and dump it into a file which you can later review and check. If you catch someone you know exactly who, However this is a huge privacy violation... And if the pirates did certain things *cough*encrypt*cough* they could go unnoticed.
