How to Trace Any IP Address

Submitted by Srikanth on Saturday, 10 October 200920 Comments

ipmap In my earlier post I had discussed about how to capture the IP address of a remote computer. Once you obtain this IP address it is necessary to trace it back to it’s source. So in this post I will show you how to trace any IP address back to it’s source. In fact tracing an IP address is very simple and easy than we think. There exists many websites through which you can trace any IP address back to it’s source. One of my favorite site is ip2location.com. Just go to http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx and enter the IP address that you want to trace in the dialog box and click on “Find Location”‘. With just a click of a button you can find the following information for any given IP address.

1. Country in which the IP is located

2. Region

3. City

4. Latitude/Longitude

5. Zip Code

6. Time Zone

7. Name of the ISP

8. Internet Speed

9. Weather Station

10. Area Code and

11. Domain name associated with the IP address.

A sample snapshot of the results from ip2location.com is given below

You can also visually trace route any IP address back to it’s location. For this just visit http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/ and enter the IP you want to trace in the dialog box and hit the “Proxy Trace” button. Wait for few seconds and the visual trace route tool displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified destination. Hope this helps. Please pass you comments.

In the event of cyber crimes, the IT security experts will trace the IP address of the culprit to obtain his details such as the ISP (Interner Service Provider) and the country. From then on they can get the exact address of the culprit by contacting the ISP.

It’s showing the proper ISP and other details. It should be correct.
