Find someone’s IP Address

Find someone’s IP Address

I often see these kinds of messages, someone calling you/your friends “fat” and “racist”? Big deal. It’s the Internet, the most public of public places. It’s completely your fault for adding some “random dude” that you don’t know. You must understand how web applications work. Anyways here’s the way of finding someone’s IP address on Facebook.

note: before trying this make sure you close all the other tabs in your browser. and only facebook is open. also if possible delete all the history and cache from your browser.

When command prompt opens Type the following command and hit Enter.

netstat -an

And you will get all established connections IP addresses there. Note down all the suspicious IP’s

The Next Step is to Trace that user using his IP address.

To do so we will be using IP tracer service. Go to the below address and paste the IP address in the box that says “lookup this ip or website”. It will show you the location of the user.

It will show you all the information about that user along with his ISP and a Location in the MAP.
