• NetTools Packet Sniffer: Which IP is the destination?
    12 replies, posted
I just downloaded NetTools so I could get the IP address of a hacker to report to the FBI, but I don't know if the IP I'm looking at is the right one. I sent a message over Steam to the hacker, and two things popped up on the bottom left window. It was (my IP changed for safety) 69.28.145.171->000.000.000.000 (the set of 0 being my IP). is the first one the destination?
FBI isn't going to care, fyi. [url=http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/69.28.145.171]Contact their ISP[/url] if you're really adamant about getting them in trouble. But keep in mind that the IP you're seeing could be false.
How could it be faked? And, they broke a law. I feel I at least need to try. He's gotten at least one other person with it.
A Proxy or VPN masking the other IP, thats how.
Ah. Well, shit. He's probably smart enough to use that if he can code a virus. Is there a way to see the IP behind a proxy?

And yes, anyone who can do enough damage to cause you to seek law enforcement involvement, used a proxy. I promise its almost totally useless getting help unless it was on a larger scale.
I don't even know the owner of the proxy, and the owner might listen if I told him the proxy was used to break a law. How do I find the owner?

[editline]11:38PM[/editline] And if the proxy has the capacity to support the data usage of a hacker, chances are it doesn't have an owner, and its some poor saps internet being used.
Well hell. Thanks anyways.

You can't trace someone's IP over steam chat, it's not a direct connection. And FBI won't give a crap

You don't even have to use some fancy program to do this. All you need is cmd. =)
