Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default How to find someone by IP

If I have someones IP address, can I find out the address of the person or their name. I would prefer name here though. It's not for anything illegal or creepy or anything.

Do you have any other information on them? How did you get the IP in the first place?

The best you can get from their IP is the town. If you have their AIM/MSN/whatever, google it. It will probably come up with their myspace/xanga/facebook/whatever. Or if you have their email, search directly on those social networking sites. From there you have their name and their town. Next stop: white pages.

You now have their name, town, street address, phone number, etc.

The only people that can track you down with just your IP address are law enforcement. There might be one or two people every now and then who can social engineer an ISP, but it is extremely improbable.

Edit: This is somewhat irrelevant, but you can sometimes track down website owners who list their real address. It is kind of common knowledge though, so you won't find anyone who doesn't want to be found.

Or you could just send a DMCA claim.

This

Send a complaint saying your website is being DDOS attacked, and their IP is one of the reoccurring ones. Ask for their details so you can pursue further action. Could work.

To ask again, what other information do you have on them? Theres a nice program called "Maltego". Great for this kind of thing.
