Another IP Address Question.

    I'm not much into the mobile infrastructure stuff, but I know that your phone connects to an RRC and the RRC connects to a group of computers that perform some routing logic on your data and only then actually forward your data out to the Internet. This group of computers (this has a specific name, I forget what it is) actually can keep TCP connections open for you, even if you turn your phone off, and are like a gateway between the phone data network (which is SCTP if I remember correctly, cool shit) and the Internet.

    What I'm trying to say is that, while I've never done this, I suspect that you could be getting lots of false positives because of this system. Your mobile provider could route your traffic through the same network (ie. hold on to an IP for you) even if you're traveling between cells.

    Cheers, I kinda forgot about this.

    My google skills are shit.

    If I had an IP address could I locate it down to a property or a particular computer?

    Or like the one I gave with the Library address it comes up something a lot more vague?

    if you're running lunix just whois the IP from the terminal

    if you're not, check the IANA ipv4 address list to see which AS/netregistry the /8 range is assigned to, then goto that registry's homepage and run a whois from there. THE ARISTOCRATS


    how specific the registry data is depends on who actually owns the IP block. for most residential/business IPs, the ISP buys out a huge chunk of IP addresses and assigns them to end users. Checking ownership will only return the ISP that owns the addresses, to get any more specific information (ie. the physical address of the person who was using the IP at any given time) you'd need top query the ISP's records, and those are generally protected and not available without a warrant or subpoena or similar.

    in other cases, sometimes schools or business will buy out IP ranges directly - if that's the case, the whois data will return the school or company as the owner.

    Cool thanks for the update, do yopu know though if it would locate it back to an exact computer, for example if the IP address was to a workplace, an exact company with say 20 employees coul someone locate it to an exact computer or will it just come back that office?

    I believe this has been answered 3+ times in this thread already. Not being a jerk, but if you don't see those posts as answers, is it that we're misunderstanding your question?

    We already said 'yes', it can be.
