Who among us has not dreamed of detecting a troll by IP or simply a bad person? When rage boils, I just want to come to his house and put it on the keyboard. But in the end, everything is limited to threats. Because the calculation by the IP is the oldest myth. Let's find out once and for all how this calculation happens. And most importantly - is it possible to "break through the IP address" of your enemy yourself at home?
I'll figure you out by IP
The reason for such a loud statement is invariably the same - offended on the Internet. Nervous surfing on the virtual ocean of themed sites begins. In the wake of irritation and desire for revenge, users easily fall into the networks of scammers. Under the guise of hackers, the deceivers promise to give out almost the address of the abuser's apartment for a couple of thousand rubles. But this is a deception, you should not waste your time and money on crooks.
Where to begin?
To calculate a person by IP, you first need to find out this same network address. This can be done in different ways. Let's take the most accessible as an example. This is the so-called social engineering, when a person is tricked into revealing personal information. If you know a person's email address or profile in social networks, you can send him an email with a link, by clicking on which the IP address will be recorded. In this case, the letter should be composed so that the recipient does not have any suspicions.
However, not all so simple. The same fixed IP is the address assigned to the user by his provider or mobile operator. There are two ways here - a police request to the provider and a "friendly" letter to a company employee asking for help. The usual private appeal of an ordinary user will not bring any result, no one will give you information.

The third way
Remember, the Internet is fraught with hundreds of vulnerabilities that you don't even know about. It is extremely difficult to hide your anonymity on the Internet, especially if you are a socially active young user. Study the personality of the person you are interested in carefully. Who is he friends with on social networks? What is your hobby? Sometimes anonymous friends are his real-life friends. This is a good lead. You can download an application that will show who the person “likes”.
A good clue may be the already mentioned e-mail, which makes sense to run (at least) in search engines for activity on the Internet. The mailbox can be exposed on dating sites, forums, job sites. Practice shows that today an ordinary user has at least two mailboxes - some old one and on the Google platform. The latter is often used by smartphone owners; in fact, it is imposed when buying a phone.
A personal website is also a good way to get on the trail of the owner. There are services on the network that provide free information about the owner of the resource by domain name. Often, an analysis of the site gives the same cherished data - the number of the house, apartment, as well as the name of the person.
The starting point
It is important to understand that IP is only an element of a person's search, one of the tools. Relying on this method alone is completely pointless. You always need to start from a specific situation. For example, if an anonymous person writes nasty things on the Internet, think about who needs it? Who have you offended? Pay attention to handwriting, writing style. Usually such tactics of revenge are chosen by cowardly and not very smart people. You can easily understand who is hiding behind a pseudonym and without any ai-pi.
It's another matter if it's trivial trolling or insult from an anonymous user. Is it worth wasting time looking for a mentally ill schoolboy from a small town on the edge of Russia? You obviously won't rush to buy a ticket to meet him face to face! Reacting to such things is a waste of your resources.
