How to get an IP

Hey, i was woundering how do you get an IP address of someone, without actually asking them or being phiscally at thier computer??? B)

Theres a few ways, i wont list them all. U can set up a website which will forward someones IP to you. Another way is some Instant messenger clients will do a direct connection for some tasks. Eg file transfer, webcam etc. I think MSN messenger is harder, but u can just go into Command Prompt and type netstat and that will give u all connections and what port. (i think its netstat) And then u just work out which one is them. But yeh, have a play around with shit. Another thing i used to do was send someone a little program that i made which when they ran it connected to me and gave me their IP. Wateva's clever i gues..

when you make a freewebs site, after a week you can make a guest book, and you get the option to record the IP addres of the people who post. then just tell a load of ppl, "hey, i just made a brill new site, go on and sign my guestbook" :)

you dont have to make them POST.. just log it when they view it. simple!

Various ways, like constructing a image that logs IP addresses to a file on an alternate or local server. I'm not listing how to do that, If you dont know already you probably shouldnt ;)

Just get some free php hosting, and put this code in a page and direct them to it

<?php
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
$filename = "iplogger.txt";
$file = fopen($filename, "w");
fputs($ip, $file);
fclose($file);
?>

Their IP will be saved in the file 'iplogger.txt'.

BobbyB - Do you upload the 'iplogger.txt' file to the website hosting PHP?

Forumers - It is very good that you can obtain a victim's IP address with all these various techniques, but if the victim recieves a dynamic IP address every time the victim connects to the Internet, then it becomes some what a little bit pointless if you want to keep the victim's IP address for a reasonably long period of time.

On a slightly related note, can anyone link me a good free php hosting site. I've googled to no avail, and actually thought they didn't exist.

Well, there's t35.com. Recently, I was having a hard time just trying to get the damn site to work, but in the past i had good luck with it.
