How to Trace Any IP Address
In my earlier post I had discussed about how to capture the IP address of
a remote computer. Once you obtain this IP address it is necessary to
trace it back to it’s source. So in this post I will show you how to
trace any IP address back to it’s source. In fact tracing an IP address
is very simple and easy than we think. There exists many websites
through which you can trace any IP address back to it’s source. One of
my favorite site is ip2location.com.
Just go to http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx and
enter the IP address that you want to trace in the dialog box and click
on “Find Location”‘. With just a click of a button you can find the
following information for any given IP address.
1. Country in which the IP is located2. Region
3. City
4. Latitude/Longitude
5. Zip Code
6. Time Zone
7. Name of the ISP
8. Internet Speed
9. Weather Station
10. Area Code and
11. Domain name associated with the IP address.
A sample snapshot of the results from ip2location.com is given below
You can also visually trace route any IP address back to it’s location. For this just visit http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/ and
enter the IP you want to trace in the dialog box and hit the “Proxy
Trace” button. Wait for few seconds and the visual trace route tool
displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified
destination. Hope this helps. Please pass you comments.
