can anybody track this IP address?

Can somebody track this IP address for me and tell me where it is coming from?

thanks

thanks xflat.. wow .. how did you do that??

what is the RIPE Whois server?

 

Check my link. It was most likely done at samspade.org

 

xflat, can you explain to me how you are able to type so fast at 102 years old?


Yes, I looked at your profile

 

holy moly you're 102???

 

I'd guess not

 

this wont help with ip's but if you can find anytihng else on him, you can hunt him down like a dog

Which program produces this nifty graphic trace?

Which proggie did you use to produce this?

 

Xflat that program is amazing. Much props.
you wrote that??

 

At the top of his post he says "A kid that goes to Kansas State" etc.

When I go to the above site and punch that IP in, I get that it's from California.........Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Redwood City.

But when I do RIPE, etc. I get the info everyone has posted above. Why?

 

Definitely a Texan

 

a good proggie for tracking someone down is
McAfee's Visual Trace 3.25

 

This is taken from the geobytes site where it shows the IP (213.181.81.53) located in California. What's everyones opinion of this statement?

"Why does your data differ from the WHOIS data?

The purpose of the WHOIS data is to identify the entity (person or company) to which a block of addresses have been delegated. It is essentially an ISP Map, rather than an IP Address Map. While the granularity of the Geobytes map, is that of a single subnet - placing each subnet individually within the geographic area that it services, the WHOIS data has a granularity of "company" (or ISP), placing all subnets "allocated" to a given ISP in the same geographic location. Compounding the problem further, the large and successful ISP's that carry the bulk of the Internet's traffic tend to service wide geographic areas. Given these points and the fact that the WHOIS data will locate all of an ISP's address space to the same city, then it is difficult to see how the WHOIS data, even if it was kept up to date, could be geographically accurate.

On the other hand, the purpose of the Geobytes map is to map IP Addresses to geographical locations. To achieve this we acquire seed data from a number of sources. All of these sites ask the web surfer to provide their geographic location, and this location along with the user's IP Address is forwarded to us as seed data. We then run this data through a series of algorithms which identify and extract collaborating seed points.

In addition to accuracy, the problem with using WhoIs data is that it contains phantom addresses - addresses that have been allocated but are not used. (Addresses that are not configured in any ISP's BGP router tables.) Only about 10% of the theoretical 4 Billion IP addresses are actually routable across the net. The remaining 90% will make it as far as your ISP's BGP router and then go nowhere. What this means is that a WhoIs based database will have to be 10 times larger than it would otherwise need to be."

 

Spade tells me that IP (63.196.10.125) is:

OrgName: Pac Bell Internet Services
OrgID: PACB
Address: 208 Bush St. #5000
City: San Ramon
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94104
Country: US


Geobytes tells that IP is from or around "San Francisco" ie, Brisbane, Alameda, Mill Valley, Larkspur, San Mateo, Hercules, Redwood City, San Ramon

ARIN gives me the same as "Spade"

 

The problem is that most personal internet connections are assigned temporary IP addresses. When the person disconnects from the internet, the IP address is reclaimed and assigned to a different user. This applies to dial-up users and most broadband users.

Thus the need to for law enforcement to subponea the ISP to find out who used what IP at what time. ISPs pull info (IP address, account, phone number or modem address for broadband users, date/time) from their logs, which are not available to the public domain.
