How to get IP address of another computer remotely

Hello friends, today i will explain you how to get IP address of any computer remotely. Using some very basic tricks we can find the IP address of any remote computer and then you can start your further hacking into the remote system like port scanning and finding vulnerabilities to enter in to the system and hack it. There are several methods to get an IP address of the victim but i will share few and specially the best one’s that can tell you IP address in just few clicks and also all are free methods and special thing is about it is all are manual methods that means you did not require any tool.

How to find or get Ip address of somebody else remotely

4 ways to get the IP address of the Victim or another Computer:

1. Using PHP notification Script

2. Using Blogs and Websites

3. Using Read Notify service

4. Sniffing during Gmail and Yahoo chat sessions

As we are here to learn concepts so i will first explain what is an IP address and what’s its importance. So friends very basic question What is an IP address? Why its important for hackers and security professionals?

What is an IP address? 

Basically IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical value that is assigned to any computer or printer on a computer network that uses an internet protocol for communication purpose. Protocol is basically rules( for Network its rules for communication). 

IP address serves for two basic purposes:

1. Host or network interface identification

2. Location Addressing

For exploring more about IP addressing read on wikipedia.

How to Find IP address of another computer?

1. Using PHP notification Script

Using this Notification script you can get the IP address in just seconds. Steps of using this PHP script:

a. Download the PHP notify script and extract files.

Download here

b. Now you will get two files IP.html and index.php . You need to upload these two files to any free web hosting server.

Example: i used http://www.my3gb.com to upload these two files. Create an account there and upload these two files there as shown below.

Upload Files to free web hosting server

 

c. Now you will need to send the link of index.php to the victim whose password you want to get. to get the link click on index.php shown in above snapshot. Now a new window will open copy the link in the address bar and send to the victim whose IP address you want.

d. Now when the victim opens the above link nothing will open but his Ip address is written into the ip.html file. So open the ip.html file to get his IP address.

e. That’s all this method… I hope you liked it.

2. Using Blogs and Websites

This method is for those who have their blogs or websites. Normal users can also do this as blog is free to make. Make a new blog and use any stats service like histats or any other stats widget. Just add a new widget and put histats code there and save template. And send the link of your blog to your friend and get his IP.

That’s only.

3. Using Read Notify service

This is an email based service. Steps to use Read Notify service:

a. First open the Read Notify website : RCPT

b. Now register on this website and then it will send you confirmation mail. Verify your account.

c. Once your account is activated. 

Do the following steps use this service:

1. Compose your email just like you usually would in your own email or web email program
2. Type:   .readnotify.com   on the end of your recipients email address (don’t worry, that gets removed before your recipients receive the email). Like this: shiviskingg@gmail.com.readnotify.com  
3. Send your email

Some things to remember:

• don’t send to and from the same computer
• if your email program ‘auto-completes’ email addresses from your address book, you’ll need to keep typing over the top of the auto-completed one to add the .readnotify.com
• if you are cc-ing your email to other readers, you must add tracking to all of them 

4.  Sniffing Yahoo and Gmail Chat sessions

With the help of Sniffers like ethereal, wireshark etc we can sniff the Gmail, and yahoo chat sessions while we are chatiing to any our friend and extract the IP address from there. I will explain this trick in detail in my next article as its a long article in itself.

5. Bonus Method for Online Gamers

We can also get the IP address from online games like counter strike, age of empires in Game ranger etc.. Many counter strike servers use amx mode. Just view which people are connecting and whats their IP addess as plugins show the IP address of people connecting to the game server.  If you have more access to counter strike server you can use status command in console. Just go to console and type “status”(without quotes) and press enter there you can see all players details his steam ID and much more depending upon server.
Now you have IP address but what you can do with an IP address. Ahhaah everything, that i will explain in my next article.

I hope you all like this article. If you have any queries or concerns just ask me in form of comments.  Thanks for reading…

how to trace an ip address to a pc & how to find your own

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is as unique to a computer as a fingerprint is to us. An IP address enables one networked device to talk to the next. The downside of this inter-connectedness is that a logical location provided by the IP address is an open arms invitation to spammers and hackers. The art of war necessitates the importance of knowing who your ‘attacker’ is. Being able to trace an IP address to a PC is a direct way to remove the cloak of anonymity from a computer communicating with your own.
An IP address is a series of digits separated by dotted decimals and represented from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. Currently we are following the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), although the successor “˜version 6′ has been standardized.
A good hacker will take steps to prevent his IP from being revealed. A spammer might hide behind a proxy server. It is also important to remember that locating an IP address using online tools does not reveal the physical address of the guy on the computer. The basic tools merely tell us the location of the ISP providing the connection by using publicly available information. To go beyond that and actually nail down the guy sending you the dirty emails would require the law to be in the loop.

Stefan’s post on How to Trace Your Emails Back to the Source is required reading for a very useful application of IP address tracking. An interesting comment has been made by a reader who says that he uses IP address tracing to ‘find out the origin of potential customers who send e-mails and make inquiries through his company’s website’.
In the lines that follow, I am taking Stefan’s post as a stepping stone and extending it by listing sites which serve as tools to trace an IP address to a PC. Any one should be enough but is there any harm in bookmarking a few more?

Part 1: Trace an IP Address to the Country and City of Origin

MyIpTest.com

This web service provides a whole range of geolocation services. Included tools are IP Lookup, Reverse IP lookup Email trace, Traceroute, Ping tool among others. Also of use is a handy link which you can use to get someone else’s IP. Field the IP address in the IP address location box and the results give you the geolocation info behind the address and a marker on a Google Map. A Firefox experimental add-on is also available from the Firefox Add-ons gallery.

Geotool

CHANGE YOUR IP ADDRESS IN LESS THAN 1 MINUTE

• Click on “Start” in the bottom left corner of the screen.
• Click on “RUN“
• Type in “command” and click OK

  You should be now at MSDOS prompt Screen

• Type “ipconfig /release” just like that, and press “enter“
• Type “exit” and leave the prompt
• Right-click on “Network Places” or “My Network Places” on your desktop.
• Click on “properties“

Now you should  be on a screen with something titled “Local Area Connection”, or something  similar to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

•  Right click on “Local Area Connection” and click “properties“
• Double-click on the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the list under the “General” tab
• Click on “Use the following IP address” under the “General” tab
• Create an IP address (It doesn’t matter what it is)
• Press “Tab” and it should automatically fill in the “Subnet Mask” section with default numbers.
• Press the “Ok” button here
• Hit the “Ok” button again

 Now you should be back to the “Local Area Connection” screen.

• Right-click back on “Local Area Connection” and go to properties again.
• Go back to the “TCP/IP” settings
• This time, select “Obtain an IP address automatically“
• Click on “Ok“
• Hit “Ok” again.
• Now you have a New IP address.

FINDING THE OWNER OF IP ADDRESS

At the risk of coming off as rude: you don’t. There’s a certain amount of information you can get, and I’ll show you shortly, but the level of detail most people want is simply not something that you can get on your own.
Over the years, I’ve received this question repeatedly and for various reasons. Most commonly, it’s from someone who’s being harassed online, and they believe that they have the IP address of the person responsible and now want to track them down.
It’s critically important that you realize that you will not, on your own, be able to get the information you want. The name, location, phone number, email address or any other specific information are simply not available to just any given IP address. Not only can an IP address change or be shared among many computers (and hence people), but the information that you’re seeking is considered private and is protected by the ISP who owns that IP address.
To get that information, you’ll need a legal reason to require it and that typically means a court order of some sort.
However, let’s look at what you can determine from an IP address on your own and a few tools that will help you determine at least the ISP that owns it.

Whois

“Whois” is a service that basically answers the question “who is X” where X is an IP address, a domain name, and several other things.
ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers, is a fine place to start. The ARIN Whois can be accessed from http://whois.arin.net in the upper right corner:

Enter the IP address you’re interested in and press Return. I’ll use 72.104.186.113 (an IP address that I know to be assigned) as my example:

This is pretty typical of what you’ll get: information that identifies the ISP who owns the “block” of IP addresses that contains the IP address that you asked about. In this case, the block is owned by Verizon Wireless and includes all IP addresses from 72.96.0.0 through 72.127.255.255.
With a court order, law enforcement would then approach the ISP for more detailed information about who that IP address was assigned to at the time in question.
Also note that it’s possible that the information presented may point you to a different whois server – ARIN covers IP addresses assigned in North America; there are other services for the rest of the planet.

Reverse DNS

In some cases, reverse DNS can be instructive.
DNS is the mapping of a domain name, like “askleo.com”, to an IP address. Reverse DNS does, as its name implies, the reverse: given an IP address, it finds the domain name that has been assigned as the primary1 identifier.
I’ll use a tool from a third-party vendor this time, http://whois.domaintools.com:

You can see that this gives much of the same information that we’ve seen above, namely the ISP who owns that IP address. But there’s an additional tidbit of information.
113.sub-72-104-186.myvzw.com is the domain name that identifies this IP address. This type of domain name is common for IP addresses which have been assigned to consumers and small businesses for internet access. You can see that “myvzw” is an additional clue to which ISP provides this IP address: Verizon Wireless.
Occasionally you may find things in the reverse DNS that might lead you to some additional theories about the IP’s ownership including, perhaps, an actual domain name for an actual web site, or some kind of encoded general location.

GEOIP

Looking at the report from domaintools.com, you can see that it references “United States Newark Verizon Wireless” as the IP location. Needless to say that’s incorrect. It reflects the location of the ISP, Verizon Wireless, but does not actually refer to the location of whatever equipment is connected and using that IP address.
We may be able to get a little closer.
A company called MaxMind, who provides geographic location information based on IP addresses to businesses has a page on which you can test their technology: http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_demo_ip. Here’s what they displayed for the IP address I entered:

Here you can see that the scope has narrowed somewhat. The location is listed as “Chattaroy, Washington”.
We’re getting closer, but not much. MaxMind has correctly identified the state where this IP has been assigned. The city of Chattaroy, however, is several hundred miles on the other side of the state from where that IP address is actually in use.
This is common. For most normal, residential or small business connections most of the publicly available information is accurate only to the state. Occasionally, depending on how the ISP has constructed their network, you may be able to get to the correct city or neighborhood. It is possible, just not common, and there’s no real way to know just how accurate the information is when you get it.

IP sharing

Particularly when it comes to web servers and web hosting, it can sometimes be instructive to see what other domains might be hosted at the same IP address and server.
We’ll use http://whois.webhosting.info for this look-up.
A lookup of a residential or other IP assigned for internet access is unlikely to return any results (and in fact, a lookup of 72.104.186.113 returned
none), so we’ll use another IP address – that of askleo.com, 67.225.235.59:

(This search can be slow – the information in DNS is not optimized at all for this kind of look-up.)
As you can see, it reflects that askleo.com and 51 other domains are on the same server and share the same IP address. (Yes, I have several domains, and host a few for close friends as well.)
If you do this kind of IP lookup on an account at a shared hosting service, you might find that the site shares an IP with perhaps hundreds or even thousands of other websites.

Depending on the type of hosting being used, you may or may not draw conclusions from the list of sites returned. In my case, it’s a fairly safe bet that askleo.com and pugetsoundsoftware.com (on the same server) are related. However, if the IP is shared with hundreds of other sites at a shared hosting location, then no inferences can really be made.
