Most of you may be curious to know how to find the IP address
of your friend’s computer or the IP of the person with whom you may be
chatting. If so, then this post will surely help you out.
In this post I’ll show you how to find the IP address of a remote computer in simple steps.
How to Capture the IP Address?
I have created a PHP script to make it
easier for you to capture the IP address of the any computer of your
choice. Here is a step-by-step process to find out the IP address:
-
Download the IP Finder Script (IP_Finder.ZIP) that I have created from the following link:
-
Open a new account in X10Hosting (or any other free host that supports PHP).
-
Extract the IP_Finder.ZIP file and upload the two files ip.php and ip_log.txt into the root folder of your hosting account using the File Manager.
-
You can rename the ip.php to any name of your choice.
-
Set the permission to 777 on ip_log.txt.
Now, you are all set to find the IP
address of your friend or any remote computer of your choice. All you
have to do is send the link of ip.php to your friend or
the person with whom you’re chatting. Once the person click’s on the
link, his/her IP address is recorded in the file ip_log.txt.
For your better understanding let’s take up the following example:
Suppose you open a new account in X10hosting.com with the subdomain as abc, then your IP Finder link would be:
http://abc.x10hosting.com/ip.php
You have to send the above link to you
friend via email or while chatting and ask him to visit that link. Once
your friend clicks on the link, his IP address will be recorded along
with the Date and Time in the ip_log.txt file. After recording the IP address, the script will redirect the person to google.com so as to avoid any suspicion.
To find the recorded IP address, check the logs using the following link:
http://abc.x10hosting.com/ip_log.php
The sample log will be in the following format:
79.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:27 PM
59.45.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:28 PM
123.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:31 PM
59.45.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:28 PM
123.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:31 PM
NOTE: You have to replace abc with your subdomain name.
