Your Media Acces Control(MAC) Address.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
Decipher the IP address means, obtain IP address using Hardware address, and basically we use RARP(Reverse address resolution protocol) to find out the IP address from hardware address.
A "MAC ADDRESS" (Media Access Control address), or an EHA (Ethernet Hardware Address), also known simply as "hardware address".
Hardware address is the MAC address. IPv4 is the IP address. The MAC address is assigned to each network device at the time it's manufactured and does not change. The IP address is manually assigned and can be changed.

The hardware address or MAC address is encoded on the NIC by the manufacturer for unique identification of the NIC. This cannot be changed.... The IPv4 address is an internet address usually assigned by a DHCP server for each computer on a network. This address can be changed.
There are a couple other ways to refer to a MAC address. One could use the full name, media access control address, rather than the acronym. A MAC address could also be referred to a UAA, or universally administered address.
It's false. Any networking device like a computer that is connected to a LAN has both a hardware address and an IP address.
