Location Tracking Using IP-Tracer

 Welcome back to the osintlearner's blog, in todays blog we are i'm gonna show you how you can trace an ip address using a tool called IP-Tracer.

Ip-tracer is an open source ip tracking tool developed by rajkumardusad, but before we dive into practical method let me explain about IP Address because it is the most important topic in cyber security field and without having the knowledge of networking you guys won't be able to move foward in your hacking career.

What is IP Address?

An ip address or internet protocol is a unique string of character that identifies the computer in a network and each computer has it own ip address. There are two versions of ip address, 1) Ipv4 and 2) Ipv6. IPv4 cotains 32bit long unique string and IPv6 contains 128bit long unique hexadecimal address. Okay, now you guys know about ip address so let's start the practical part of this blog.

In order to trace the ip address we first need to clone/download the tool from github, but if you are on your windows machine then you have to enable wsl feature from control panel and need to install git on it, but i'm assuming that you guys are on your linux machine or wsl machine.

 

Clone/Download the tool

git clone https://github.com/rajkumardusad/IP-Tracer

Commands

cd IP-Tracer

chmod +x tracer

./tracer -t <ip address>

Note: I have took the ip address from abuseipdb.com for this blog, this ip is not mine and i or do not take resposibilty for your malicious activity neither my blog.

This is how hackers or script kiddies trace internet user although there are some other methods to trace an internet user but this method is the easies way for beginners. So that's it for todays blog and i hope that you guys learned something informative from this blog.
