Yeah, to sum up what has been said: In windows messenger send the person a large file say over a meg but two or three might be better to give you more time.

Then open up a command windows (start-run-command) then type netstat -a and look for IPs that you are connected to. In order to find the person you may want to type netstat -a before you send the file and then do it again afterwards to help pick out the new connection.

Hmm, it sure works, but what to do if you don't want the person to know you are trying to track his IP? Is there maybe another method that you can track someone's IP, or do the MSN Messenger conversations take place through a M$ proxy or something :huh:

Thats basically it... you could get them to click on links... other type of stuff etc etc the best one i have found is turning my webserver on and just talking to them as somebody else and using a dynamic IP host at http://www.no-ip.com and asking them to check out my site with whatever interest he's in and scanning my logs. :D but just gotta think of ways it's a social engineering tactic...

I use a cable modem, if my I.P. is located through useage of Msngr, will the observer be able to continue checking my I.P., even when it has changed, or is the trace only applicable one time?

If u have a static IP (i.e. if it does not change) then once a user gets your IP, he will be able to scan it whenever he wants (because your IP remains the same 'always'). But if u have a dynamic IP (i.e a different IP each time u connect to the Internet) then he can track you for 'that particular session' itself. Therefore, its applicable only once, if u have a dynamic IP address.
clear :)

If you are on cable modem, generally you will have a static IP, and your IP will _not_ change. Even when you sign out of MSN and come back on, or reboot your computer, it _should _ stay the same.

However, on dial-up modems, and some slower DSL/Cable modems your IP will change every time you connect up.
One easy way to get an IP on MSN, is to first open up command prompt (you can do this by going start > run> cmd or command, and then it will open up a black box...

Type "netstat -n" without the quotes, and then start up a transfer with the target computer. Make sure that the transfer will take at least 30 seconds or so to complete, and then type "netstat -n" again (you can do this quicker by simply pressing F3). The target computers IP will be the new IP that wasn't in the last list.

I have a few questions regarding this.

I booted up my PC and fired up my Internet Connection, did a "netstat -n", fired up MSN and made a transfer of a song with my friend, did another "netstat -n" got a different IP address. Now the question is, why does the IP address remain on active connections when the upload where finished?

Just something i came across today.

Quote

MSN Messenger  bug

Release Date:
20/11/03

Discovery date:
Sometime around 2001 or 2000

Versions Affected:
------------------

Msn messenger 1.0 -> msn messenger 6.0.0602
Windows messenger all versions

Not Affected:
------------

Msn Messenger 6.1, trillian, gaim

Description:
-----------

A bug exists in Microsofts msn messenger client.
MSN messenger improperly parses the fields during
file transfer invitation requests. Particularly
the request ip field. This makes it possible to
trick the msn client into giving *away* the users
ip address without him/her accepting the file
transfer first.
