How to Trace Any IP Address

Trace IP

In my earlier post, I had discussed about How to find the IP address of a remote computer. After you obtain this IP address, it is necessary to trace it back to the source. So, in this post I will show you how to trace any IP address back to its source.

How to Trace the IP Address Back to the Source?

In fact, tracing an IP address back to its location is a lot simpler than what many people imagine. There exists many online tools using which you can accomplish this job. 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:

  • Country in which the IP is located

  • City to which the IP address belongs to

  • Latitude/Longitude of the IP’s location

  • Zip Code of the region to which the IP belongs to

  • Time Zone associated with the IP

  • Name of the ISP to which the IP address belong to

  • Internet Speed of the computer associated with the IP

  • Weather Station associated with the region of the IP

  • 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 its 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.

    • @ BOSS

      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.

      You need not worry as far as you have a good antivirus and a properly configured firewall. Use kasperspy internet security instead of just the antivirus. This should make your PC hackproof.
