What is an IP address?
IP address also called Internet Protocol address is a numeric
identifier assigned to a computer connected to the Internet. It
is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and
communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet
Protocol standard. Any participating device on the network such
as routers, computers, time-servers, printers, internet fax
machines, telephones, webcams, servers etc., must have its own
unique numeric identifier. This allows transmission of data
packets on behalf of the sender to indicate where to send them
next and for the receiver of the data packets to know that it is
the intended destination. The numbers currently used in IP
addresses range from 1.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 and some of
these values are reserved for specific purposes. This does not
provide enough possibilities for every internet device to have
its own permanent number. Subnet routing, Network Address
Translation and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server all allow local networks to use the same IP addresses as
other networks elsewhere though both are connected to the
Internet. IP addresses used locally within the confines of a
local area network are called local IP addresses and those used
over the internet are called public IP addresses. There are two
types of IP addresses (1) Static IP address and (2) Dynamic IP
address. Static IP addresses are assigned to a specific device
and the assignment does not change while Dynamic IP addresses
can be shared or rotated amongst many devices although not at
the same time. IP addresses are conceptually similar to phone
numbers, except they are used in LANs (Local Area Network), WANs
(Wide Area Network), or the Internet.What is an email address?
An e-mail address identifies an electronic destination to which
an electronic message can be delivered. A modern Internet email
address (using SMTP) is a string of the form myname@domain.com.
It should be read as "myname" at "domain" dot com. The part
before the @ sign is the local-part of the address, often the
username of the recipient or destination, and the part after the
@ sign is a domain name which can be looked up in the Domain
Name System to find the mail exchange servers accepting email
for that address. The first part of the address, the email user
name, identifies a unique user on an email server. The @ symbol
separates the user name from the host or server name. The host
name uniquely identifies the server computer and is the last
part of the Internet email address. The three letter suffix in
the host or server name identifies the kind of organization
operating the server such as .com for commercial organizations,
edu for educational institutions and so on.
What is an Instant Messenger name?
An Instant Message allows electronic communications to happen in
real time and an Instant Messenger name or user ID identify the
electronic destinations to which the messages terminate. For
example email can be compared to a letter sent in the mail while
instant messaging can be compared to a conversation over the
phone. Instant messaging requires the use of a client program
that hooks up an instant messaging service. Most services offer
a presence information feature, indicating whether people on
one's list of contacts are currently online and available to
chat. This may be called a 'Buddy List'. In early instant
messaging programs, each letter appeared as it was typed, and
when letters were deleted to correct typos this was also seen in
real time. This made it more like a telephone conversation than
exchanging letters. In modern instant messaging programs, the
other party in the conversation generally only sees each line of
text right after a new line is started. Most instant messaging
applications also include the ability to set a status message,
roughly analogous to the message on a telephone answering
machine.
What is the difference between a Domain Name, an IP Address and
a Computer host Name?
Domain names are similar to vanity phone numbers where words are
assigned to represent the phone number. Domain name is a text
name that a computer network registers for the numerical ID of
the computers in the network. The domain name is used to give
computers text names rather than using the numeric IP addresses.
Domain name examples are Abika.com, cnn.com, usatoday.com.
Computer (host) name are names given to individual computers.
Each host name corresponds to an IP address. Host names and
domain names are optional and everything can work fine with
using just IP Addresses. Examples of host names: www.cnn.com,
mail.people.com, Cust112.tnt3.gm3.na.UU.net and so on. What is
a proxy server? Proxy server is a computer system, server, or
an application program that forwards the requests of it clients to
other servers or applications. A client connects to the proxy
server, requesting a service, such as a file, connection, web
page, email, instant message or other resource that is available
from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource
by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service
on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the
client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may
serve the request without contacting the specified server. In
this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote
server, so it could save the information for later, and make
everything as fast as possible. |

Tracing email,
IP, Instant Messages, Electronic Files or Username searches:
Trace Results for emails, IP address, Instant Messenger Name or
Username searches are deduced through any of the following. When
any computer is online it gets assigned a unique numeric address
similar to a phone number. This numeric address is usually
assigned to the user's Internet service provider, a university,
business, agency or an organization. A database matches such
assignments to the location the network has registered. But IP
addresses can all be registered to one office of the internet
service provider or company even though they may have branch
offices worldwide. An ISP like America Online may route its
customers' traffic through a single gateway, making AOL users in
Kansas appear to come from Virginia. Therefore the IP data needs
to be refined, tracing data packets as they pass through traffic
nodes known as routers and narrowing the actual location of each
IP address. It requires knowledge of how various networks work,
how the networks are setup, how various networks differ from
each other. Even proxy servers and anonymizers tend to have
patterns of operation or assignment. This data is mapped to
specific blocks of geographic areas and physical addresses. Zip
codes and census data are mapped to these geographic blocks to
create demographic profiles. In addition to utilizing various
search combinations, searching of any available databases helps
searching the geographic location of a computer through its IP
Address. In addition the location of IP addresses is also
verified through other databases of the geographic mapping of IP
addresses. This mapping of IP addresses to their geographic
locations is updated through IP information submitted from
various strategic geographic locations, using many different
Internet Service providers. This allows creating mapping of IP
addresses to their geographic locations. These databases can
also map location names (street, city, state, country) or US zip
codes to latitude/longitude values. This information is verified
through other IP address sources. Every time anyone connects to
the internet they are leaving their IP fingerprint and ISP
domain name and other bits of information behind. Often times
this could reveal the city and state. Many search engines
archive a whole copy of the internet at regular intervals. Often
times other people, pages or sites mention or list bits and
pieces of information. Every activity on the internet leaves
bits and pieces of information lingering around. The hops data
packets make between IP's and the time required for the hops
also helps in creating a map of locations. Deducing and sampling
the bits and pieces create leads. IP address mapping can also
provide time intelligence pertaining to when the computer was
connected to the internet. In other words it can help deduce the
location of the IP address at a particular date in the past.
Depending on many variables such as the sampling rate it can
also go back to an area or building address and not the
individual units in the area or building. It is also possible
that multiple addresses are found. These leads can help tracing
Email addresses and IM names back to the location of use. These
leads can also help deducing names, addresses and in certain
cases a telephone number. Every email, ICQ, AIM, Google IM and
Yahoo IM message, along with every web page that one views and
picture or file that one downloads leaves snippets of
information. Emails, Messages, Videos, Audios, photos, computer
files, electronic files generally have data embedded that help
deduce when, where or how they were created. Often times the
persons email address, Username or IM name could be mentioned
somewhere or the person may have used it for any activity on the
internet. Searches consider the various factors and return an
estimate of names or addresses associated with an IP, Username,
email address or Instant Messenger Name. It is generally very
easy to create and close email and IM accounts and therefore it
can be possible that over a period of time many different names
could be associated with the same account. Please also note that
Email addresses, IP's, Usernames or Instant Messenger names can
be reused by many people over a period of time. Statistically
the newer the email or Instant Messenger Name the lower the
probability of finding current or verifiable Name(s) or
location(s) associated with them and the more frequently and
actively an email or instant messenger name is used the higher
the probability of finding names and locations associated with
them. Computer related traces estimate results by deducing
patterns, statistical probability, demographics and any other
observations available. Searching is a cooperative process and
including any information such as the reason for doing the
search, any suspects you may have in mind, their possible age,
their description such as height weight eye color ethnicity,
pictures, any names they may have mentioned, any locations they
may have mentioned, any websites they may have mentioned, any
mention of likes, dislikes, relatives, friends, associates and
what are the circumstances of the search will help enhance
relevancy of the results. Depending on many variables there may
be no one magic answer to trace an email, IP, IM or username. At
times multiple searches may be needed to deduce a pattern. The
more information you provide the higher the chances of relevant
results. Any additional information can be included in the
Additional Information or Comments field. The trace path is a
continuous interaction and overlapping of induction and
deduction, of theoretical hypotheses, patterns and empirical
evidence. |
