Tracing Someone’s IP Address

Tracing IP Address on a Blog

Most of the blog and online journals provide you the facility of tracking the IP addresses of people who seem to be dicey and risky for you. Particularly, when you have been receiving continuous nasty comments or endless love messages, finding out the person behind such annoying situations becomes essentially important. Go to the setting or preference option under your blog account. You will notice an option stating about informing you the IP address of people commenting on your blog. Once this option has been checked in, you will be notified about a person making a comment in your blog through a small notice indicating that you are trying to track the IP address. If a visitor leaves a comment in your blog, you will be able to view the IP address of that person below his/her name or username.

Tracing IP Address in Gmail

If it’s a person in Gmail whom you wish to track down, then you probably will find this task easy and enjoying. All you need to do is log in to your account and open the message you wish to investigate. Reach to the place where date and time of the message are displayed. You will find an arrow on the right of the “reply” button. Click on the arrow and select “show original” from the dropdown menu. A new tab will open up on your screen with information about the sender and the message in HTML format. Locate the line beginning with “Received: from” in the first ten lines of the text. At the end of this line, you will notice numbers in brackets which is the IP address of the sender.

Tracing IP Address in Other Mail Programs

Just like Gmail, other mail programs follow the same procedure for finding the IP address of the sender, though with slight differences in some programs. Say for instance, in Yahoo, open the message you want to track and move to the extreme right bottom of the message that reads “select message encoding” with a dropdown menu. Next to this is a “full headers” link. Click on the link and you will be able to view a full header displaying “X-Originating-IP” showing the IP address of the sender. For Hotmail, open your account and click on the check box of the message to be decoded. Right click on the box and select “view message source” from the pop-up menu. Similar to Gmail, locate the “Received: from” line and you will find the sender’s IP address at the end of the line in brackets.

Tracing when More Than One IP Addresses are Listed

If you find more than one IP addresses listed under the message, the message is likely to be routed before it reached your inbox. In such a case, you can locate the original sender’s IP address by the address listed at the end of all the IP addresses.

Now that you know how to track anyone’s IP address, you can catch that person red-handed and stop any messages from being received further. Good luck!

NetBIOS
NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input Output System. It allows your LAN or WAN to share drives, folders, files and printers. Gaining access to a computer through NetBIOS is very simple and easy. The only thing required is for the target machine to have file and printer sharing enabled and to have port 139 open. Below I will show you an example of what a hacker would do to gain access to a Windows machine through NetBIOS.
1. First the hacker would search for a target. A common tool used by hackers is Angry IP Scanner . Download and install it.

2. Next the hacker would insert the IP range he would like to scan. If the hacker was connected to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) he would scan the local computers like I have shown below.
3. Since the hacker’s goal is to gain access to a system through NetBIOS, which runs on port 139, he will choose to scan each found host for that port. Click the downward arrow on the right and check the Scan ports box. A popup will come up asking you if you would like to select a new port. Click YES.


4. Type in the port number 139 into the first box and click OK.

5. Click start. The program will begin scanning and when it’s complete a box with the results will come up.

6. As you can see 224 Ips were scanned. Out of those only one was alive and luckily it has port 139 open.

7. Open the Command Prompt by going to Start -> Run -> Type in cmd -> <ENTER> .
8. Now the hacker would run the “nbtstat –a TargetIPaddress” this will tell us if the target has file and printing enabled. Without it, this attack is not possible.

9. In the above image DAVIDS-MACHINE is the name of the target computer. If you look to the right of it you will see the number <20>. This means that file and printer sharing is enabled. If there was no <20> then you could not go any further and would have to find a new target.
10. Next the hacker would run the command “net view \\TargetIPaddress”. This command will display any shared drives, folders, files or printers. If nothing comes up, you won’t be able to gain access to anything since there is nothing being shared. In my case, I got the following:
11. In my example, I have two printers shared and one disk named SharedDocs. The hacker would be able to take control of my printers and view everything in my SharedDocs disk.
12. To gain access to my SharedDocs disk, the hacker would have to map out the drive onto his computer. If successful, the hacker will have all the contents of my drive on his computer.
13. To map out my drive onto his computer the hacker would use the command “net use G: \\TargetIPaddress\DriveName”. So in my case I would run the command “net use G:\\192.168.1.101\SharedDocs”. You can use any letter in place of G:\\. This just tells the computer what to name the drive on your computer.
14. What’s this? Looks like I already have a drive G. To avoid this problem, go to My Computer where it will show all of your current Drives. To fix this simply change the letter G to a nonexistent drive letter.

15. Once the command is completed successfully, go to My Computer and you should see a new drive under Network Drives. Double clicking it brings up all of the targets documents.

 Hacking Ip Address ...

     This time am going to show you how to hack an IP address of any  computer just by giving them a link.. Here is the step by step tutorial of "How To Hack IP Address"

Steps Involved:-

1. Download the IP Finder script (IP_Finder.ZIP).

2. Open a new account in any webhosting site like ,X10Hosting,MY3Gb.COM (or any free host that supports PHP).

3. Extract the IP_Finder.ZIP file and upload the two files ip.php and ip_log.txt into the root folder of your hosting account using the File Manager.

4. You can rename the ip.php to any name of your choice.

5. Set the permission to 777 on ip_log.txt.

Now you are all set to find the IP address of your friend or any remote computer of your choice. All you have to do is send the link of ip.php to your friend or the person with whom you’re chatting. Once the person click’s on the link, his/her IP address is recorded in the fileip_log.txt.

For your better understanding let’s take up the following example.

Suppose you open a new account in X10hosting.com with the subdomain as acena20, then your IP Finder link would be

http://acena20.x10hosting.com/ip.php

You have to send the above link to you friend via email or while chatting and ask him to visit that link. Once your friend clicks on the link, his IP address will be recorded along with the Date and Time in the ip_log.txt file. After recording the IP address, the script will redirect the person to google.com so as to avoid any suspicion.

To find the recorded IP address check the logs using the following link.

http://acena20.x10hosting.com/ip_log.php

The sample log will be in the following format

79.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:27 PM 59.45.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:28 PM 123.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:31 PM

NOTE: You have to replace abc with your subdomain name.ave to replace acena20with your subdomain name.
