good morning,
Does anybody know if it is possible to track an IP address in order to know where it is from? (THE EXACT LOCATION) If I remember well, the IP addresses are distributed in an organized manner to the countries and each country has its internal regulation bodies responsible to assign the addresses to the entities and also manage the in-country domains.
Well, the question is: If I know the *real* IP of someone, can I locate this machine in the world? If yes, how?
i have visual route that is included in my norton's firewall, but i don't feel it does me the justice that i am looking for. it seems like after all the hops it is not sure where it came from, lol, and i am wanting to pinpoint the computer. i won't to be able to trace right back to the computer it came from, so i can send them a little message back, STOP trying to sneak in my open ports. most of them come back to businesses in other countries. i just won;t to let them know, that i know who they are and where they are by sending them a emal right back to the culprit computer. lol this may stop a lot of my problems with these people. any programs or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks again and have a good day.

There is a higharchy with ip numbers, I am not sure of the asignments and sequence at the moment.
try the following 2 links , see what it gives you in results when entering the ip....

It may give you the owner of the IP, in the case of internet providers, it would likely give you the owner of the Ip (the internet provider) and not the user itself, in dynamic ip addressing, the address could be asigned to several internet each day.

hey dkerr,
thanks for the reply. it is really no big deal, i just thought maybe there was a way i could RE-ROUTE it back to them. lol maybe have a little fun and learn something to in the process. here is an EXAMPLE of what i am getting. most of them are from overseas. imagine that.
Rule "Default Block Backdoor/SubSeven Trojan horse" blocked (211.212.42.10,27374)
Inbound TCP connection
Local address,service is (cozycats(68.63.247.108),27374)
Remote address,service is (211.212.42.10,1182)
Process name is "N/A"
thanks again for the reply.
