Have a look at this ICQ Sniffer, I used to use this, get the IP and then a ping.
I wouldnt say its a perfect method but it does the job most of the time.

If your friend WANTS you to see him when he is hiding in invisible mode he can use a feature in ICQ that will allow only selected persons to know he is online while invisible. If he doesnt want you to know when he is online and he is a truly a friend, I would personally respect his privacy and not worry about hacking my buddies.

I agree about the privacy thing.
My husband and I played with the IP Sniffer over a period of time for fun, using our own ICQs and to observe how ICQ developed, whether the hack worked and that kinda thing.
