sir, you can try at http://arul.telenet-systems.com/track.html

works for me all the time ,

I'm part of an internet forum where a moderator got in a small fight with a user and the mod went and did an IP trace and from that info, he posted the user's state in the public thread. Is this legal?

Am am not a lawyer. That being said, I can't see why it would be illegal.

Today I got an email from PayPal (eBAY) that someone with the IP adress 149.225.126.87 tried to access my account. Then it asked to verify my account when I signed in, asking for information down to my ATM number. Obviously, PayPal had no interest in that number since it is not used in transactions. The PayPal inquiry was undoubtedly a fake. Do not respond to PayPal or any credit card company through the email itself, but go to the source and reinforce your security up to and including cancelling your account or credit card.

Someone used spyware to check my IP address. They claimed all they needed was the screename I was using in the forum we were in. I know exactly who the person is and what country they live in. The person was actually bragging about doing this. In the process they totally ruined my computer. I'm pretty sure it has a few dozen viruses by now. The night it happened I ran Ad-Aware, and over 300 things were on the report, so I know it was from this person and their little spyware crap.

Is there any way to get them in trouble for this? For using spyware and wrecking my puter? Or atleast using the spyware on them to show them how it feels?

I also got 4 of the same messages from paypal Someone with ip address 149.225.126.87 tried to access your personal account! I canceled my account ,

Many cyberstalkers are caught because they don't use anonymous proxy but when they remain anonymous , (Several methods to do it) with anonymous proxies , chain of proxies , anonymous proxy with a firewall , they restrict all conections except for the anonymous proxy (one of the safest method to stay anonymous) , if they are with a LAN behind a wingate (one of the safest method) , if they hack pc computers from other countries (the safest nº1 method) , they use a chain of them and use it for cyberstalking... its very hard to track them and police don't waste time to make an investigation :(

Unfortunately now some cyberstalkers are not "stupids" and they use several methods to stay anonymous. Many cyberstalkers visits many hack webs pages to learn how to stay anonymous.

So definitely:

If a cyberstalker not use proxy: possible to track him

If a cyberstalker use anonymous proxy: difficult to track him.

If a cyberstalker use a chain of 2 or 3 anonymous proxy: 99% difficult to track him

If a cyberstalker use anonymous proxy with a firewall installed: 99% difficult to track him

If a cyberstalker use a LAN behind wingate: 99% difficult to track him

If a cyberstalker use remotes pc computers from differents countries : 99.99% difficult to track him

if a cyberstalker from other country without proxy is posible to track him but no punish.

if a cyberstalker from other country with a proxy:99% difficult to track him.

Unless if you have a lot of money , if u are poor as i , you cant do anything when they use those methods :(.

A friend of mine who has a web page , it was hacked 4 times during 2004 , so he call to his ISP proxy , No response , they call police , they said that is the hacker located out from my country they can tell it to interpol but they only waste time in bigger crimes such as pedophilia , frauds...
Interpol dont waste time in crimes such as cyberstalking :(.

Maybe 1% of cyberstalkers who use anonymous methods to stay anonymous are caugth , 99% are free.

Without doing a thing you will see your IP, a physical map and everything down to longitude and latitude. Any IP can be entered. That is SCARY!
