[ARCHIVED THREAD] - IP address tracking? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 12/8/2008 7:11:10 PM EDT
| I was wondering if someone can find out where you live with just your IP address... |
|
Not without a subpoena for the ISP.
Without that, they can only narrow it down to the city (if that) using a geolocation lookup. Or if you're dumb enough to give it out. Now if you go wardriving around town, and your victim has an insecure wireless network, you could potentially jump on it and check outside IPs until you hit the right one... but that's a far stretch. |

| I used to visit a website that had a map of the visitors locations worldwide. There were very few visitors, so I was able to spot myself easily. There was a little pin just a mile or so from my house. So I think that you can be located more accurately than just city level. |

If you know your IP address, you can use these tools.....Not super secret stuff, but interesting.

If your with the ISP I work for and I got your IP I can track you down in less then 3mins,
You make a probe against NASA-JPL They call me, send me a log with a nasty letter attached I locate you, inform them I have located and deactivated the account They dont care to pursue it futher at this time, if you continue they will. I note your account I call you, inform you, read you NASA's nice little email, explain the situation You resolve the problem on your end, contact me back, provide details and I turn you back on once I feel you have resolved the problem. |

If I locate you I have a good reason to do this, Im not doing it for the hell of it. Useful troubleshooting tool to track wierd problems, or when you need a block removed, if I can see you didnt pull that IP when it was blocked then I remove your block. |

Case closed. An ARIN whois, DNS, and city lookup are the closest you'll ever get to anyone, no matter the size of their ISP. ESPECIALLY in today's world of dynamically assigned IP addressed. Even with a static IP, no ISP is dumb enough to put 123-main-st in the hostname. |

Unless you're a LEO, you're subjecting yourself to criminal prosecution by either forging documents, filing a false report, theft by deception, or pulling off one of the other criminal acts you'd need to do to get access to that data. Your career would be over, and you'd likely wind up in jail. For the average dork in a chatroom in the Internet, he's got no way to get access to your originating address, and certainly not in real-time. |

No you aren't, I Supervise technical support agents for a "major" ISP. I get calls on occasion from so and so from the whatever police department asking for information about certain IP addresses and can we give the name and address of the person that used this IP on this date at this time. Corporate policy is clear, here is our legal department they can answer all your questions and give them the number. In the time I have worked there we have never given info out with out a subpoena. |

Even with a static IP, no ISP is dumb enough to put 123-main-st in the hostname. Have seen those before, its not that hard to pull a log, provided there is a reason to do so. Same with the RIAA etc trying to track down who shared a file from an IP. |

And if your company's smart, they'll avoid liability by not even giving your first level tech support agents access to the RADIUS logs. |

And ISPs have been sued for giving this information out without a warrant, some successfully. If you're asking whether or not you can skirt the law, the answer is always yes... but the OP wasn't asking about that. He was asking about whether you could drill down on a physical address just by IP address alone, in the context of technical tools |
