So ... If an IP never changes ...
 

Are you telling me it is impossible to track the user?

I want to track the user of a specific IP. It never changes. Anyway I can do this? Anyone that can?

in what regard do u want to track them?

Track on your site only? pretty easy

on your site? or, something else?

His ISP can. You cannot.. :Oh crap

On one of my blogs I use wordpress. When someone posts it leaves an ip. This particular individual is the same every time. Any way I can track this to a name, address?

EDIT : I just wish to speak to them face to face, nothing more.

As mentioned, the IP appears the same each time in my wordpress blog script. So it is possible to track name and home address? Could you tell me how?

If anything serious is going on, call his ISP

only his ISP will know

Tripple6, that first reply was for you, sorry.

OK, now for a dumb question. With the IP, how can I find his ISP?

Nope....

I can. why do you want it tracked?

Post the ip. We'll get his ISP..

I am getting death threats. If you want to help me, my icq 214529549

his/her isp is easy to find.

Hi Realpascal,

It would be great if you could help. I better not post the IP here though. If you post your icq I will hit you up in a minute? :)

Check your icq..

with you now

whats the ip?

Hi Doc911,

Realpascal was kind enough to give me the ISP. Could you help me with the home and address?

If you hit me up, I will tell you (best not to post it here) my icq = 214529549

Doc911,

If you wont hit me up, could you give me a hint at how it can be done?

I've found some pretty good online resources, but so far I've drawn a blank on locating a person's name and address based on their IP.

Here are some good links for anyone :

Anyone have knowledge to get home address and name?

i cant track an ip further then the ISP, if ur getting death threats, thats pretty serious, call the isp

You've been told this before you cannot get his home address the only people knowing it is his ISP you have to go thru them to get it and they won't release it with out a court order.

What you can do is contact his ISP tell them that the user with such and such ip is threatening you but that might not be enough the IP I have is shared by multiple users.

I will ... as a last resort. Unfortunately, my experience if authorities, or in this case the ISP, is very little can be achieved. I've had death threats offline too. The police admitted to me nothing can be done. I'd rather deal with this motherfucker my own way. A nice, friendly chat over a cup of Earl Grey.

I believe that when you track an IP address you are only tracking it to the ISP, therefore it is impossible to find out a home address. You would need to contact your ISP although it's unlikley they will provide details.

You're telling me what I already know. Same questions get asked here all the time. My hope is someone who does know the answer will respond to this thread. Don't be a little twat with me, I'm not in the mood.

I am telling you the answer.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE

Everyone here is saying the same thing it won't change no matter how many times you ask.

Probably!

But . . . what you don't seem to understand is that, for all I know, someone who has the answer may have missed me asking before. Do you see? Have someone tell you they'll kill you and your family. See how fucked off you get.

YOU are not everyone on the planet.

YOU do not have all the answers.

Fuck, is this so hard to understand?

But its a fact like the moon is not made of cheese.
No matter how many times you ask is the moon made of cheese the answer will always be the same no matter who you ask.

if you can not trace him, can he trace you?

You are such a dumbass, you've made me smile for the first time in hours.

Let me make this clear Michael:

You want to find the answer to X:

Ask 100 people. No one among them knows the answer.

Ask another 100 people. 1 person knows the answer!

Now, I think the answer is probably that we cannot locate a name or home address from an IP, but when me and my family are getting death threats (from someone who does know my address), then I am trying to find that 1 person.

Do you understand you . . . slow . . . fucking . . . little bitch?

1) While you can trace which ISP owns a block of IPs, there's no way to find out which customer of the ISP has been assigned that particular IP.
2) ISP won't tell you either without a court order. It's called privacy.
3) It's PROBABLY a proxy.
4) You've been told this, several times, and KZ is right the answer is not going to change.

Have something to do. I'll be back if anyone knows anything.

Yes, Michael and WarChild, I do know it is unlikely but a guy has to try.

I have to disagree with some above... the real answer is "it depends". Some IPs can actually be resolved to a physical address. It depends on how big the user is (usually). For example, big law firms, banks, etc. usually can be found (I like to use www.samspade.org as a first try), although single home users very rarely can.

Also, some ISPs can be very helpful and some won't do shit. They all have the ability to track the user, even if they have a dynamic IP, if you give them both the IPs and the times they were on that IP. It's a question if they want to or not. Just yesterday I got a threat from som guy who I threw off of a board to hack my site and keep it down for months. I contacted his ISP with a copy of the threat, and they wrote back to me that they wouldn't do anything without a subpeona and that I should contact Law Enforcement to make a complaint. I wonder what thy would say if their CEO's home address and phone number showed up on my mesage board and I was equally "cooperative" about taking it down?

You can track any ip on this page: http://www.ripe.net

Move on already you stupid fuck

ISPs do NOT give out personal info to any Joe Blow because they are not fucking allowed to do so

Get that in your head already

im calling your isp. your ip is still 127.0.0.1 right?

Lol.

Dude, seriuosly, if you're getting death threats and your taking them seriously enough to want to talk to this guy, don't you think that you should contact the police?

One possible solution would be to hack his computer and look around there, you would probably be able to find out who he is that way. Given you have a site that he visits it should be pretty easy installing spyware using the latest browser exploits.
Given it is kinda illegal, I'm not suggesting that you should do it, just pointing out it is possible.

what milambur said. or bribe some dude from ISP

The problem is resolved. Just took $$$. There will be no more problems.

To the dickheads in this thread:

The mere fact you can insult a man who is clearly concerned for his family says a lot about your character. None of which is good. I'm in a good mood today and that's about the nicest thing I can say about you.

I may be too late, but you are still wrong. It's not a fact. Some IPs are mapped so that a WHOIS will show you the exact apartment or even a person's name (especially popular with Cable providers), while others show only a city (and many times not even the correct city).

So sometimes you CAN find out a lot of info. And sometimes the moon is made of cheese.

Care to post an example....

they already told you how to find the name and address.

1. file a police report
2. the police will get a court order
3. the isp will turn over the information to the police.
4. press charges
5. bam you have the name and address.

That is not entirely true. Some ISPs (swbell dsl for example) when assigning blocks to a static customer (such as me) allow whois to show the customer.

If you go to http://ws.arin.net/whois and enter ip 66.140.68.90 you will see swbell is assigned the block and you will see the customer who is assigned that static ip. (just using that one as an example. It is noone I know)

You won't find the address, but the name can give you a start on it.

But, I agree that usually you cannot get to the actual customer with just the ip.
