track IP address

iinfi · 09-05-2005, 01:30 AM

some one has a @yahoo.com account

he sends me a mail frm his web based mail provider (means not thru any client ...... directly frm the web)

i also have a @yahoo.com account

is it possible to track his IP address??

Hmm.. Login to your Yahoo Mail ..
Click on Mail Options ..
Click on General Preferance ..
Under the Messeges header, Select Show all headers on incoming messages ..
Click on Save changes ..

Now whenever your friend email you , you'll get headers like

Code:

X-Originating-IP: [163.125.156.245]

Thats the IP from the mail was sent ..

If we use an anonymus ip address, is it possible to track?

Deep · 09-05-2005, 09:43 PM

nopes because it is behind proxy...so it will show the proxy server's IP address...

pradipudhaya · 09-05-2005, 09:46 PM

And wat if we use a software to change our ip?

@it waaznt me:
Thankz Dat's really gr8

anomit · 10-05-2005, 12:25 PM

Can I suggest something? There is a software Traceroute 3D. Though its name is traceroute, it has many useful tools bundled with it including an e-mail header analyzer. U can use it to find out the country of the mail server.

Can't we fool people by creating fake ips by manipulating our PC?

imcool · 11-05-2005, 04:20 PM

using a software like internet anonym will route you through proxy server. You can't fool the really good ones as they know those proxy and better hackers know how to find your real ip anyway.

dude, do you even know what your talking about ? Do you how complicated a process Ip spoofing is ? And even then its not completely safe either. If you know how yes our real IP can be found no matter what.

digen · 11-05-2005, 05:40 PM

Dude imcool, they guy isnt asking about anonymous proxy server methodology,actually that isnt called IP spoofing in the first place.

Well firstly IP Spoofing is a cumbersome process & above that it isnt 100% perfect that it will work,Here is a good read related to IP spoofing: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1674
