I was wondering if it is possible to be located from your IP adress, i know that google can instantly locate from google maps but what about other people?
>>52515103
yes they can anon, best course of action shut down all the PCs on your network for 24 hours, this'll reset you IP Cache
>>52515103
More or less. At best they'll get you within a block or so, though - it's more or less impossible for them to get your EXACT address.
I mean geolocation software just isn't that advanced, even if your ip could be plotted on a 'map'.
>>52515165
nice bait >>52515154 is the only correct answer
I thought that geolocate will provide the ISP's location instead of yours when tracking an IP address
>>52515248
no, just keep all devices offline (12-24 hours) before he gets your address
>>52515248
Your ISP is usually geologically close to your home.
>>52515278
Not at all, miles away in my case.
>>52515308
>exception doesn't disprove the rule
>>52515278
Miles away here, too.
America is a HUGE place, anon. Unless you're in a city you probably aren't next door to your ISP.
>>52515385
>>52515308
Your ISP will at least reduce the IP to a state or city in most cases. If that's not geologically close, considering we are reducing your unknown location worldwide to a state/city then I don't know what is.
>>52515473
The 'city' that my ISP is in is three towns over and would be about a half-hour drive from my house. You couldn't feasibly find me from my IP address because there's thousands and thousands and thousands of people in the circle between me and the location my IP reports.
This is what happens when you live sixty miles from any major city.
>>52515248
If I tracert to my other connection I get in like ~1000m because one of the hops is named after the area, but I think that's at good as it gets
>>52515103
Those geolocation websites will give the general area of the IP.
Your ISP can (obviously) tie the IP to DHCP lease (or static allocation) which will then identify your account, which presumably will have the exact address.
So the correct answer is, it depends.
>>52515511
Again, considering that an IP could be literally everywhere on earth makes this method pretty close in my opinion.
I am not saying this will find your street address.
NOBODY BUT YOUR ISP can get your address... holy crap are people this dumb IRL? an IP is just your place on the internet. it isnt a home address. nobody can get your address unless law enforcement subpoena'd your ISP for it for legal reasons
its a shame that the techno nerds of this century are this fucking retarded
fuck we need to go back to the 8s before all this bullshit technology when people were actually smarter and not braindead gamer fags

>fuck we need to go back to the 8s before all this bullshit technology when people were actually smarter and not braindead gamer fags
8 kinda sucked though, the Republic was dead and obviously going to stay dead but the Empire was so new that everyone still kinda wanted the Republic back.
Things didn't really pick back up again until Trajan, a century later.
>>52515775
How come and google maps can locate your real location by your ip?
Everybody shut the fuck up for a second.
Yes, it's possible. It's generally accurate only to the city. See for yourself:
http://geoiptool.com/
However, if you are using obscure internet service providers, the attacker can narrow the range of location even closer.
Let's say you're a faggot at X University. They're using bippity-boop ISP that includes the university name in the IP's hostname. Whoopee, the faggot now knows where you go to school!
>>52515815
that was supposed to be 80s
>>52515832
Geolocation API uses other information besides IP address, e.g. local wifi networks.
>>52515862
didn't even get my city right
>>52515832
>google maps
>locate your house by IP
nigga, do you even know how the internet works? ips change all the time. google doesnt have access to every ISP in the world to know whos ip goes to what address.
you are probably using some shitty fios that has gps locating and google maps is using the gps info to locate you. normal ISPs dont work like this.
this has to be a troll post. seriously nobody is this fucking dumb
>>52515921
you're retarded
>>52515832
you're also retarded
Neither mine
>>52515939
nobody here can prove that google fuckin maps can locate your house by IP and isnt using shitty fios with GPS
>>52515862
Considering most Universities have a static IP range, putting their name in the title is probably only to help Autismo and Friends.
>>52515862
Found me down to the start of my postal code. Was off by like 10 blocks or so.
Also your IP doesn't matter when google can track you down by your search habits.
>>52515775
The only sane/non-baiting reply.
Well you could call the ISP abuse line, and use social engineering to get an address, but nobody goes through all that unless they really want you dead.
>>52515584
>IPs are random
That's not true though. Lrn2networks.
>>52516274

>>52515278
Mines about 80 miles from where I live.
>>52516352
>an unknown ip has a specific location
You made a logical mistake.
>>52516371
You didn't specifically state that you were talking about an unknown ip.
>A random IP can be literally everywhere on the world.
That would've been better.
>>52516370
Knowing your country > knowing nothing
>>52516410
I certainly did not clarify that. It was my mistake.
>>52515103
Unless you're inside your ISP's office where your IP resolves to, you're fine. You'll get within a few blocks to a few miles depending on how your ISP does thier routing and such. I'm with Bell here in southern Ontario and my IP routes as one of 3 cities depending on whos giving me my address.
my IP is 127.0.0.1
try to find me, noobs
>>52516555
OH NO THE IPS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE
>>52516555
How did you get there?!
>>52516555
Get ready John, we found the massive faggot.
>>52515103
Give me your IP address and within 24 hours I would of emptied your bank account, hidden child porn on your pc and tipped off the police, hacked your smart tv and programmed it to kill your family at 3am. all this is just child's play to real hackers like me, if you don't act like a prick on the net then you have nothing to fear.
>>52516570
kek
>>52516720
>bank account
>PC
>smart tv
But I don't have any of those anon.
>>52516720
>if you don't act like a prick on the net then you have nothing to fear.
>winning a cs go match
>someone posts my IP and boots me offline
ok anon
>>52516720
>you can steal someones identity with just an ip address
I think that youropoors if they check their ip location they will see city of the nears IXP
>>52515103
If he's with the government or if he works for your ISP then yes. Otherwise he can probably only get your general area within miles.
>>52515775
The reason techno nerds back then weren't retarded is because computers are way more user friendly now. In the 80s, if you wanted to use a computer you had to fucking know how a computer worked. Nowadays, literal children can use them without understanding a thing about the hows or the whys.
Which is fine in my book. Computers being easy to use gives me more people to bully in my videogames. I feel really bad for the poor bastards in IT, though.
>>52516646
>He faggot himself.
kek
>>52515278
>geologically
>>52516961
Ye, you call up the ISP with that IP and get their info from there
