what information can you get from an IP address?
91292
Although it's rare that you're able to gain personal information directly from an ip address (some cases where you own a domain name e.g. www.mydomain.net), you can get information about the provider that owns that subnet. eg: a typical dns entry:\npat@ez1 ~ $ jwhois 128.174.254.29\n[Querying whois.arin.net]\n[whois.arin.net]\n\nOrgName:    University of Illinois, CCSO \nOrgID:      UIC-3\nAddress:    1304 West Springfield Avenue\nAddress:    1120 DCL, MC-256\nCity:       Urbana\nStateProv:  IL\nPostalCode: 61801\nCountry:    US\n\nNetRange:   128.174.0.0 - 128.174.255.255 \nCIDR:       128.174.0.0/16 \nNetName:    UIUC-CAMPUS-B\nNetHandle:  NET-128-174-0-0-1\nParent:     NET-128-0-0-0-0\nNetType:    Direct Assignment\nNameServer: DNS1.CSO.UIUC.EDU\nNameServer: DNS2.CSO.UIUC.EDU\nNameServer: DNS1.IU.EDU\nComment:    \nRegDate:    1985-02-02\nUpdated:    2004-02-18\n\nRAbuseHandle: UIUCS-ARIN\nRAbuseName:   UIUC Security \nRAbusePhone:  +1-217-265-0000\nRAbuseEmail:  abuse@uiuc.edu \n\nRTechHandle: CK185-ARIN\nRTechName:   Kline, Charles \nRTechPhone:  +1-217-333-3339\nRTechEmail:  kline@uiuc.edu \n\nOrgAbuseHandle: UIUCS-ARIN\nOrgAbuseName:   UIUC Security \nOrgAbusePhone:  +1-217-265-0000\nOrgAbuseEmail:  abuse@uiuc.edu\n\nOrgTechHandle: CK185-ARIN\nOrgTechName:   Kline, Charles \nOrgTechPhone:  +1-217-333-3339\nOrgTechEmail:  kline@uiuc.edu\n\n# ARIN WHOIS database, last updated 2006-02-17 19:10\n# Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database.\n\nFrom this simple whois query, I can glean information about the geographic location of the party (in this case UIUC) who has registered this ip block, the size of the subnet (number of computers with directly addressable internet ips) that 128.174.254.29 belongs to, who to contact if I'm having issues with an ip on this subnet, etc... If I were a sysadmin of a network that was getting a serious spam influx from a computer on that network (say from an infected pc or parts of a botnet), I would check there to find out who to notify concerning the issue.\n\nGenerally your personal information is not available in this manner, but it is possible to contact the network administrator for more specific information about the account to which that ip is assigned (say if you were with law enforcement). Of course, there are other ways to obtain personal information, like perhaps an unpatched exploit on the system itself.

For Instant Messages, it's tricky, as mostly information is hidden. In e-mail, look at the full headers (in Yahoo! mail these can be turned on/off in preferences, in Outlook they can viewed via properties of the message). There you'll find a chain of IP addresses that ends in the IP address of the sender. Via an online WHOIS server (for instance via www.dnsstuff.com), you can get details about the IP address including country, sometimes region, internet provider, etc.

Do you mean IP Address? And what do you mean by trace: Find somebody's location or IP Address?

Oh yes, the website admin can usually find out the IP address and the domain from which the access was done.  However, it is difficult to pin-point exactly who did it unless the user has a static IP address (fixed IP address).  Usually ISPs provide you with a dynamic IP.  So its difficlut to find out who did it in your case.

if you can display the "full headers" in email messages you can see the IP address.\n\nusually they will either automatically show up at the top of the message, or there will be a link in your email viewer to "display full headers"\n\nWith blogs its different depending on the type of blogs- with some services (non-private) you can check them with "whois" or "DNS stuff" -  also in many webbased pages you can right click on a page and select "view source" and find what u are looking for- but "view source" displays the HTML codes for webpages too.

No internet site can steal information from your computer unless you give it to them voluntarily or unless you have spyware on your computer.\n\nGoogle keeps track of your IP address (internet address) and what you searched for.

you should simply be able to type in the ip in the address line.

Your IP address, what type of browser you're using, sometimes your operating system, and where you have gone on that website, and sometimes where you came from.

Hi, you can trace any IP over the Internet using a free web-site service called Visual Route, it tells you from where it comes and it even shows you a map from your ip to that specific ip.  Here is the link: http://visualroute.visualware.com/\n\nAlso if this is not enough type this google search: track ip and a whole list of sites will appear.\n\nHope this helps!

Once you have the IP address, you can search for it at 'whois' on the following site:

ok, all you do is go onto command prompt and type in "ping xxx.xxx.xxx", wer xxx.xxx.xxx is watever your friend's ip address is. Then, it will come up with a whole bunch of info and stuff.\n\nalso, if you type in "ping/exe", it gives you a key to some of the acronymes

Try this too and it will tell all the info once you copy and paste full headers from an email to this site..\n\nhttp://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation\n\nOnce you have entered in that IP, then you will some info.
