2018-06-22 at 12:37 AM UTCIt's basically your fingerprint on the internet and people who say OH YOU NEED A COURT ORDER AND A WARRANT TO ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING WITH IT! are probably just government agents gas lighting you.
Your fucking IP links your computer to your ISP which has your physical address in longitude and latitude on their servers and look how easy it is to hack Sony and all these companies it would not be hard to hack an ISP.
Not only can you find someones current location but you can use their name and personal info and look them up in other ISP's to find out if that name has been used before, under what IP address. They can go back all the way to the early 2000's
So basically all the NSA or a dedicated hacker has to do it get your name (not hard) and compare that against all records of you paying for internet and just write down all those IP addresses and use those to find out every website you have ever visited on the entire internet in your life. -

not a lot really. you need to get the ISP's assignment data if you want any real personal information; typically people used to call in to head office pretending they were from a kiosk or store or something and try to trick the call centre into getting data on an IP address for them, but it's become a lot more difficult with them being forced to try to protect 'private' information and I'm pretty sure none of the old codewords (ie. saying that your connection to the 'grandslam' system is down to an AT&T rep and asking them to run the query for you) still work
You're a pure bullshitter dude. Like how does Geolocation in google maps work?
Google and Apple retain databases from their phones of where Wifi access points are and where the IP addresses that resolve to those access points are. Yes, dynamic IPs are a problem, but if Google and Apple know something, the NSA knows it too.
And if your phone is a China phone, like mine, the Chinese know it too (which is only fair).

As a normal human being all you can expect to know from an IP address is the ISP. Maybe the country. You can feed it into a lookup service, but all you will get is a best guess. Like my IP resolves to Dublin, Dundalk, and Cavan town. It doesn't resolve to my actual location using any publicly available service, but it does using google maps, etc. -
2018-06-22 at 12:57 AM UTCToday's geolocation is based on the wifi signals that your computer can pick up (not just the network you are connected to, but all wireless routers that your device can "see"). The signals are triangulated and matched with a "ground truth" that comes from GPS-enabled devices, mostly smartphones.

the question is how can the OP determine whether the same person is using multiple IPs, not how the world's most prolific data collectors can -

Triangulation by definition is finding a location based on distance (ie. signal strength) between three known points; it doesn't specify what signal type. Phone providers typically use triangulation based on known access point locations (wlan or gsm) as fallback or verification for GPS... None of this is relevant to OP though, as he does not have the ability to collect that data from the target's device. -

What I think is wrong about your bullshit is that you don't know how google and apple wifi hotspot location works(as no one does), so you're falling back to WW2 triangulation era bullshit, and passing it off as relevant knowledge. -

what is it with you DH fags and aggressively arguing shit you don't understand?
if you had a higher IQ you could build an AP with smoothwall or similar and fire up wireshark to see what data's being transmitted (outside of https, but in that case you could probably force invalidate their cert to make it fall back on http) via location services.
REGARDLESS, you could easily find out how standard location services (of course there's a chance of hidden services, but with standard ones this pervasive, why bother?) work by reading a few whitepapers instead of shitposting - they maintain lists of access points paired to geographic locations, so like ES said they're able to estimate your location based on your closest wireless access points and base stations and their associated signal levels. This is typically used to increase the accuracy (and vice versa) of GPS locks or to log locations if GPS is disabled.
and again though, this has nothing to do with the OP's question. He asked what information he can gain from an IP address, not what methods are used to geolocate devices when you have access to all of their radios.
