Heres a tip.
Compose an email in html with a 1x1 transparant pixel image
embedded inside the email. Make this pixel the first thing to load
but make sure it is hidden and fully transparant.
Next, MAKE SURE THIS IMAGE LOADS FROM YOUR WEB SERVER
not from the email itself. Also, make sure it has a GOOD name
that is unique so you can spot it later....
Now, keep an eye on your web servers logs... perhaps with:
tail -f /var/log/http/access_log | grep NameOfFileHere.gif
Or just scan through them looking for the image name.
The theory here is simple...
When the hacker checks his anon email account, the image loads in his browser
and the ip that shows up in the logs is his home computer if he isnt smart.
:-)
I have put 12 hackers in jail using that trick since 1997.
