Tracking ip addresses..........

I think "spoofed" would be more descriptive of what we are talking about here than "scrambled".

Go to the command prompt and run <tracert>followed by a space and the IP address. Quite often it will come up with a domain name. Then do a whois search and you will get a bit for info, sometimes a contact name even.

Amongst all the Email Spam and offers of cheap Viagra etc, I have only ever had one that mentioned kiddy porn in the subject line.

The procedure above came up with a personal name of someone (in Canada I think) that I passed on to the local police Hi-Tech Crime unit. Never had such a thing since!

Spoofed ??? I lost the track now newt?? I think I mean scrambled.

 

What I was getting at was if it would be possible for 1 person to have 2 identities here without you knowing ie one from a real ip address and one from a scramabled one. I know you dont care if people do that and that isnt the issue im raising as you are the admin and Elton the boss, its your site and that is your choice. I just wondered what would be possible and what wouldnt.

 

If its possible I remain sceptical if its not ill admit to extreme paranoia.

As most IP's are assigned when you connect, and very few people have fixed IP's, it would be simple.

Elton,

 

Very true, but we've noticed on some of our BT connections that the IP addresses remain constant for quite a period - usually several days - and even with connections/disconnections. Possibly BT having a long lease time, and reallocating you the same IP.

 

However, @winter@ it is easy enough to proxy your IP by effectively running it through another server - thereby making it appear as if you are someone or somewhere else.

 

That said, I suspect Elton and co probably don't check usernames for duplicate IP's and even if they did it might be legitimate - for example, when we move into the shop Gary will probably use the same connection as I for posting!

There is at least one poster on here whose signature has something that tries to do the job, not completely successfully. I think there is a danasoft logo attached to it.

Like I said, it doesn't work perfectly, though some of what it comes up with is correct.

Yes it is possible. Yes it is probably happening. Yes you are somewhat paranoid (but in this day and age, I don't think that is a bad thing)

So it is possible

 

I somehow feel less paranoid now.

 

Don't argue with an idiot; people reading the thread may not be able to tell the difference.

 

I just wish I could keep my cool.

If an e mail was forwarded to another person could the original sender be traced !!!

Reading this i would think not !!
