How do I find out where someone is based on their IP?

[tweakmm]

<< Maybe a bit OT but this has been bugging me for a while now. What is stopping people who are skilled enough to hack into a bank/exchange and transfer a buncha money into various accounts worldwide? If the internet security is as weak as some of the people make it sound, why not capitalize on it (for the criminal minded individuals). I ask this because a 16 yr. old kid from somewhere in Russia hacked into the IBM servers and was able decrypt over a 100 CC's. I did not follow up on the story but he/she had some kind of ransom demand for IBM. >>


because most people who are skilled enough and havent been cough know that its extremely risky to do. One mistake and your screwed. It makes the most sense to be white hat, because there is NO risk, and you get tons of money.

I wouldn't rely too heavily on that site. I tried several IP's of servers that I definitely know the location of and it was off by over half of the country! :Q

Cheers!

mmm...well, it would be a coincidence that it ended in Virginia though...

There's probably a double digit number of computers in all of the south as it is

<< NetWorldMap >>



ROTFL, so I live in Antalya, Turkey? LOL... I don't think so

[Edit] I think this site gives you a random location.... I tried a couple IPs, and none of them were even close... [/Edit]

I put in my IP and my parents IP, and it got both of them correct to the city.

It got mine exactly right too, but they also state:



<< To find out the geographical location of an IP Address, enter it in the text box below. Currently it can only locate about 2.4% of the Internet's address space. >>

works for me, too. I put in my friends' IPs (in Vietnam), it gave correct results.

Surprised nobody has suggested VisualRoute. There's a live demo you can use without downloading the full package, but it's an excellent tool to have.
