Do you know what your IP address means? Are you aware that your IP address is exposed every time you visit a website? Many websites and hackers use IP address to monitor your geographic position and/or anything that might link to you and other personal information. Your IP address is your online identity, just like your home address where a thief can come anytime and plant a bomb. An IP address can be used by hackers to break into your computer, steal personal information, launch attacks that might completely distort your computer's system stability or commit other crimes against you.
How to steal an IP address
You can now get anyone's IP address using a very simple and straight forward script. Just follow the instruction's Below.
1. First you need to have a php enabled hosting site. Below is a list of free php hosting sites
For the sake of a quick tutorial, sign up for an account at my3gb.com 2. Now create a php script using notepad on your computer. Simply copy and paste the script below into your notepad and save it as index.php
<html>
<?php
$file = "code7.txt";
$f=fopen($file, 'a');
fwrite($f,$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n");
fclose($f);
?>
<p>File not found</p>
</body>
</html>
3. Create an empty text file with notepad and rename it as code7.txt
4. Now upload the two files (index.php and code7.txt) to your web hosting site (my3gb.com)
The link to your php script that you need to send to your victim will therefore be....
''www.username.my3gb.com/index.php''
Once your victim clicks on the above url, he will be redirection to a page ''File not found'' while his IP address will be logged in the file ''code7.txt''
That is why it is highly advised to conseal your IP whenever you are surfing the net. This can be done with the help of IP hiding software like, Easy-hide ip address, Superhide IP address e.t.c
Apart from IP hiding software, you can also use free online annonymisers at..
