If I went onto Myspace without signing on and viewed a profile, could the person find out who I was?

Hello,

I dont know too much about computers and an IP adress. But, If I were to say send someone a message from one myspace account and send another from a different account, could the person match the IP adress?

*Please let me know as soon as possible. I think I may have gotten myself in a mess.

I was able to find the exact location of a computer through an IP address. There were some anonyomous postings on my website that were derogatory in nature. I got the IP from the posting, plugged it into geobites.com and found the longitude and latitude of the location of the computer. Then went to a site that converted longitude and latitude into a general location and was able to use a gps instrument and find the offending house.

Leo A. Notenboom, i have read lots of your articles about how people cannot get much from your ip address.

Then how do you explain this: someone from youtube found my ip address through my youtube account (i had never posted any information about me not my name or city or anything and i used a separate email account for my yt account). So once they had my ip address they somehow found my myspace!! Even though i had separate emails for both myspace and youtube, and i hadn't communicated through email with the person.

So how did he do that? I understand that it is very hard to get an ip address through yt but how then did he find my myspace? And is it possible he could also find out my email?

Again, I say: No.

First of all: who's IP address was that supposed to be? Certainly not any of
mine ... it's 100's of miles off.

Second, in all likelihood you've just geo-located their ISP, not the user.

No, You cannot.

as I keep saying, you can get the location of the ISP, and that's as
close as you can get. You CANNOT further determine the actual location
of the IP address without the ISP's help.

Dear Leo, I’ve read several of your articles about IP addresses, including this one:
Finding someone else's IP can be as easy as looking at the full headers of email that they've sent you,. . . .

How do you tell by looking at the full header what the IP address is? Here are two examples from Hotmail (and I assume by “full header” you mean the full URL.) I know where these are from, both from the same computer, or should be as they are the same person. Most of the URL matches, but part in the middle does not:

[Dead Links - Removed]

My second question is, if I am using Outlook (full, not Express) for my e-mail, I don’t see a full header anywhere. How do I find an IP address in this circumstance?

Thanks,
Elisa

Charles: contact the ISP that whois.arin.net tells you owns that IP address. Be sure to have a court order giving you permission, though, since they won't give that information without a reason.

Hey Lio, luv the contents of this site. I am working on a project in India with a law enforcement agency (govt. of India). They want me to get the ip, user info. password of an incoming mail. Mails cum to them in 1000s and they a want a software that can keep a record, so if anything goes wrong or somebody for instance writes a mail informing the agency of killing the Prez., they can have his details.
I want the technique, and i am ready to pay you.
Reply on my email as i don't want to read it in this forum.
Thankx

You can't change your IP address, but you can use an anonymizing service. Google "anonymous web surf" and you'll get several such services.

The whois information is typically the best you can do. Using that you should be able to contact the ISP and have them help you further - but you'll probably need to involve law enforcement to get them to pay attention to you.

Hello Leo,

I have a stalker who knows a lot about me, I suspect it's one of my friends due to the information this 'person' seems to be spouting off on e-mails.
I've located some info via WHOIS, but I need to know the general location where the computer is located to tell who is the person. I am not sure what a Windows XP Command Shell is, or how to use it on my computer. I'm not familiar with this area of expertise!!
I want to know who this person is so I can see if i can/want to take legal action etc. Please help me!

thank you!

2006-05-24T23:21:41Z

"And that leads to my final point: use a router or a firewall."

Perhaps we should settle for "use a firewall, and maybe a router". Why? Well - in case of hardware routers, they should have at least basic firewalls installed; in case of software routers (like Windows Server systems), not using a firewall is like saying that you want to be cracked by any o' n00b.

All in all, the machine that is DIRECTLY connected to the internet MUST have a firewall, PERIOD. It doesn't matter if it's hardware or software - without a firewall it's just as vulnerable.

By the way, Leo - dunno if aynone has previously suggested this (and I believe someone somewhere has, must have) - the site is a great resource to educate the less-technical family members. ^__^ I'm not really a technician just yet (still learning to become one), but I do get a fair load of admin and programming work daily, so I'm so deep in all that and I realized that sometimes I just can't "dumben" my explanation far enough for 'normal' people to understand... ;-)

you can trace the IP address of the sender of that bomb threat using the email itself,there would be an option in the email content to show all heading instead of just the name and email address of that person then what you have to do is to go to apnic.net to check the server of that IP,if your bro matches the IP,then your bro could be convicted, but if not,then he's free...

Hi Leo.

I was just wondering if it is possible to find someones IP Address without them knowing. I know that this might sound wierd, but i got an email by someone to teach me how to see other peoples cards at an online poker table, and to be able to do this i need to know their IP Address and password. So is it a possibility to find out this information from just playing with them at a poker table.

Thank You

Steve Ryan

It's both. For example there was an IP address reported with your comment here (68.x.x.x) and from that I can see you're on adelphia.net. But to go any futher I'd need adelphia.net's help - which I cannot get, but I believe law enforcement can.

I came across a website that discouraged against posting slanderous comments about a famous person stating that sometimes their lawyer would call up and request the IP address of the poster.

Is this a 'scare tactic' or can they really tell who posted comments based on their IP address?

No, internet addresses must be unique. If you are behind a router, your machine may have the same ip address as anothe rmachine elsewhere behind a router, but you'd never see it. The addresses on the internet musy be unique.

No. That information cannot be determined from an IP address with out the help of the ISP owning that IP address. This help is difficult to obtain.

JJ: It's hard to say if it actually happened, but depending on how the PM software was written it would certainly be possible to get your IP.

I also don't understand how you can have an IP from both the phone company and AOL. If you're connected to the internet you should have only one IP.

Could you help? I have brought Paessler Router Traffic Grapher (PRTG) which cost a lot of money. It helps me monitor my website to see if its up or down as I'm using the very unprodictable piczo.com. How can I get the IP address for my website (www.wu-mings-den.piczo.com). When I go to enter a site it usually says "finding site/connecting site or connecting to [example 131.43.454.4]" but it doesn't tell me any more. I need to know the IP address or the DNS name, what is a DNS name?

hello leo,

i 'stupidly' used a java based chat room on a website. the room offered the facility to send PMs in a seperate java window. by my sending a PM, would i have made it possible for the person i sent the PM to to get my IP?

also i have an ip given by AOL, but also an ip given by my phone company, which would be obtainable by somebody else?

Not really. In some cases it will work, or at least get close. But, for example, an AOL user's IP address will probably point you at the location of AOL's world headquarters, not the user's location. Other ISPs may also often work that way. So when things don't match, which will happen frequently, it doesn't neccessarily mean something's wrong with yout customer.

I own an online store and sell on auction sites. People send me their orders via email so I am able to obtain their ip address using the headers. What I want to know is can I use this information to verify that the address they provide for shipping of the items they purchase? Some people will send me their shipping address and it will end up being a false address, can I do a who is to verify that they are sending the email from the same Country State and City as the shipping address they provided??? Thanks Heather

Yep. It's likely that the IP address represents a router or corporate firewall (or even AOL's firewall), so that perhaps several, or even thousands of different users and computers all share the same IP address.

Hi,

Is there a program to determine all the ip address of the people i have chat in yahoo messenger? Or to be more specific I just wanna find a way how to get the IP address of the people whom I chat or emailed?

I'm not a spammer, I was just amazed because I chatted with someone in the Internet and we emailed each other, in a matter of seconds he was able to tell me what time is it in my place and my location as well as Internet Service Provider. Our only means of communication is Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo mail.

I would really appreciate a help on this one.

Thanks in advance!

Depends on what you mean by "from someone else's website". If you want the IP address of the website (like, say, this one) then in a command shell:

ping ask-leo.com

where ask-leo.com is replaced with the domain name of the website who's IP address you want.

If you want the IP address of someone who *posted* on a website (like you just did here), then you cannot get the IP address without the help of the owner of the website you're talking about.

How you view your email headers will depend on the email program you use. If they're not visible, most have some way to get at them.

As you say, the site admins know all - for example I know the IP address from which you made that post. But barring stupidity on the server admin's part, the answer to your question is no, you cannot find the ip addresses of other site visitors. Now, stupidity would include making the server logs, which contain that information, visible somehow, or actually posting the IP on web pages. (Like, for example, if this comment form actually published the IP address from which each comment had come from. It does not, but it could.) Fortunately, in general, that's not the case, and your IP is not visible/accessible.

So the answer to the other question is also no... you cannot generally find out where people have visitted based on their IP address alone. It would require information from the servers, or information that was left on the PC that was used.

hello. thanks for your insightful article. i'm doing some research on internet security & have some questions. is there a way for people ot get your ip from a website you visit (not someone who manages the site but someone else, especially for sites like online journals or thefacebook.com where people can read other people's accounts)? also is there a way, if someone knows your ip address, to use it to find other websites you visited, especially ones where you may have filled out personaly identifiable info? thank you
