Tracing IP for AIM

Re: Tracing IP for AIM

If you want to get someone's IP that's on AIM, my cousin and I did this one time...
Run netstat to make a note of the connections you currently have.
Invite your friend to a direct connection, trick them if you have to.
Run netstat again once they are connected. If you do it right and within a short period of time from the first time you ran it their IP will be in the list...

It would be easier just to watch the packets with Ethereal or TDI mon. Comparing netstat output could take a while (depending on the number of connections open).

Tracing locations for IP address is a much harder problem to solve.

Well don't make the password so easy.

Use letters and numbers. Don't use birthdays ect. If you want it more secure, use variation of cApS, N0N CAp5 A|\|d CHaRAcTer5.

Or a mnemonic, something like this 2DILTW3D
