little background . when you connect to msn u connect to a server and not the the clients directly this means is that the msg first goes to the server and then to the person u send the msg to . well why would you need the Ip of a person is another topic 4|| j0 3|173 h4c|<3r5 who ddos or use trojans will need the ip to connect to the person or drop him.
anyways getting down to work there are basically 2 methods you can use to get the Ip of the person

1. you need to make a direct connection with the person so you can get the Ip of the . here are the simple steps to follow
first goto command prompt and type in netstat -n it will give you the ips of all the people your computer is currently connected to under the foreign address . and the localaddress is you .. just dont try nothing funny on that .anyways so you got a list of the foreign addresses now take a screen shot of that cmd.

2: now send any file or music or what ever you want to yr friend whos ip you want. when the trasfer is being done quickly go to cmd again and type in netstat -n again. it will again give you the list of foreign addresses save that screen shot to ..

3: now open both and see what new address is added to the foreign address that is most likely to be your targets Ip.

simple


another method is

first download netcat for windows from http://pintday.org/downloads/

then open cmd goto the dir u downloaded nc and type this in nc -l -p 80 -vv . now goto www.dot.tk and register ur free domain in the domain u want to redirect to put this in

http://ur-ip-goes-here

so for eg u registered ur domain like www.mypics.tk .. just send this link to the person whoz Ip u want he will open it and will get redirected to ur ip on port 80 where nc will be listening so it will log it .. just copy the Ip and have fun

people this was my first time of writin anything .. so all comments will be welcomed. thanks

yeah or make a php script which will log the ip etc and auto redirect that person to different site w/ some funny pic for example

if ip adress=invalid then this way can work?

oh yea if the person us using a proxy on his msn and browser then iam sure he isnt gona be fooled by trojans in the first place ..

There are a few ways of course
like mention above
1.Send a file and check for outgoing connections from your localhost
2.Lure him to open some sort of website when a cookie tracker of sorts
3.u can just ask him(social engineering)

Why are you messing around with netstat and screen shots and all that when you could just be using tcpview from sysinternals? Send a file and see what new connection pops up... in real time.

emm cauz the people who can do that dont read this stuff in the first place ..

well this forum is to gain knowledge hence u should know all the things which can be done without help of any specific piece of software

I find this tutorial to be a waist since it has already been discussed many times on this forum how to get an ip fromsomeone on aim , msn , yahoo etc using netstat. I liked your attempt at this tutorial chills but i think searching this forum before posting can work well as well
although your method works it isn't quite as direct as netstat.

A little question: can I send file via Yahoo messenger? Because I didn't ever use it.

yes, you can send file
but i use it lot of time ago

new yahoo messenger has a lot of features. u can send files, share photos,voice chat with improved quality, and most fundoo thing is audible emoticons. i think MSN has not all these features

I think there might be a private exploit out there with the beta msn because of the file sharing access they have allowed. I've heard rumors but not 100% sure about it.

hmmm this is interesting!...I saw the new feature that lets u share dirs. if u can somehow make executable files accessible , then all u have to do is change the icon n convince ur friend to open it:P
buuut... it seems no executables are allowed, which is bulls*** since u can use the web to get ur exe downloaded.

btw this private exploit exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability or it is a security bypass like exploit ?

netstat is useless some times.
I think in some conditions yahoo messenger change to p2p stuff and talk straight to other client not using ymsgr servers. in this position you may use netstat. I have no idea about how msn messenger works but it should be in a same way.

i doubt this getting IP by sending file tric works anymore. all u get is there servers ip

Just ask him to give his ip.
If he doesnt, threaten him by telling to send in Chuck Norris

i thought everybody knew it. thts so basic ...u can find this trick all over the net......no trying to be 1337

well it works fine. or else i would not have written it. dude i just tested it and it works fine. dont worry no offense but check stuff before posting .ah i guess its an honest mistake

peace :

Very good tutorial. And making php script is also a good idea. It all depends how is the person's level of knowledge. If it is low, you can have his IP very easy. And don't forget social engineering technique, this is very useful when you wanna know some person's IP. Tell him for example that you need his IP for some verification or such things like unlimiting his bandwidth and he might fall into your trap.

for those who didnt know one more way to get ips with the new live msn messenger just ask the other person to share folders with you .Anytime u want the ip just add something to ther shared folder and refresh >and then go check in cmd prompt for that new ip >>> netstat

Wow nice!! I m going to learn this one.. Just for fun

Writing tutorials is a good thing because if you can explain, then you really understand it.

Only comment on this tutorial is it would be nice to explain different command given. For example you mentioned netcat, which to the audience you wrote this for (basic n00bs, no offence but everyone must start somewhere) probably will not be familiar with it. It's an amazing software that has survived a great deal of time when you consider the life span of a typical program.

so would be listen on port 80 and be very verbose.

Just a suggestion for your next tutorial.

I used to use a program called TCPView worked similar to netstat just with a GUI. Worked like a charm everytime. Quite an old app now though =(

How about sending an email that would be sure to get a reply to the guy who's ip you want to find out and look for his ip in the header of the reply?

wow this tutorial is really leet

Hey thanks nice guide you can also use Net limiter for this

When i type netstat -n , it shows it but it's closing within a second or two what's doing this and how could i make it stay?

Thanks for the help

Nevermind lol that was stupid i found out what was going on!

when I was browsing gso...I saw again this topic appearing in the 'last post info' of gso tutorials section, in the main page. this is very script kiddish, dont know why it has not been closed or trashed yet...

its not relly hard
yahoo IDs shows on port 5050 or 5051

No one has mentioned this yet, but the idea of listening on port 80 might not work anymore these days. I know for a fact my ISP blocks all incoming ports 80 so that i can't run a server(they want you to pay an asinine amount for that). Correct me if i'm wrong though, as even though the ISP blocks it you may still see something?

use redirects to point the url to yourip:port# and they wont even notice

[posting at the risk of looking like a complete noob]
Damn...didn't think of that. Would you mind explaining a little further though? I think i know what your talking about, but i could see some obvious problems with it (firewalls maybe?).
[/done posting at the risk of looking like a complete noob]

Very good idea though. I'd be interested in testing it out on my linux box, as i'm short changed at the moment, so a dedi or a reseller is out, and the prices my ISP charges is really insane. For the same price as a decent dedicated server, they will charge you to open up ports and give you more bandwidth a month :S Other than that though, i have to admit my ISP really is quite nice

i think it's pretty smart to have NC listening on Port 80 in verbose mode, and registering one of the gazillion free URL services to your IP...
All the guy would be getting is a blank page, and you would hopefully, with forwarded ports and all that, get his connection.

But why don't you go so far and set up a webserver with XAAMP on your machine, make it acessible to the WAN, and put up some page with a funny image or someting. Then simply send him the URL, and check the webservers logs. It's really pretty damn easy that way.

in 90 % of all cases this worked fine for me: "hey, can you go to www.whatismyip.com and send me that number in there?". Most people fall for that, if they ask me why i tell them so i know their web adress and so i can see how close i am to them, which isn't even a lie, just a sorta-bend-the-truth, lol...

This is all about being creative. And no, the file transfer jazz did not work with the two people i tested it with. I just got the ip of the relay server. Most people these days are behind some sort of router, and even if you get their IP, it's pretty darn useless. Did you know that most file transfers if you are behind are router are being relayed anyhow, unless the person who recieves the file has their ports properly forwarded? So don't even bother

The webserver method is the best, followed by the netcat version.

and that is what it would look like using the netcat approach



i highlighted the important part, the IP you're after. Now if you set up port forwarding correctly and register your domain right, i don't see why this wouldn't work using WAN instead of local network smart idea, props to the inventor
