Hacking with AIM

This tutorial will explain how to get an IP address from someone using
Aol Instant messager Service(not AOL's IM). Your actions are your own
responsiblity not mine. I'm just showing you how. This will involve using
windows 98 and on NT. Let get started.

First you need to download AIM,www.download.com is a good start. Beware that
lots of other chat programs can do the same as what is in this tutorial. I'm
just using AIM as an example. A brief overview is were going to direct connect
to another AIM user my sending a file.


Ok first thing to do before you do anything is go to

Win 98
Start -->Run-->Command

Win NT versions
Start -->Run-->cmd

Your going to be going to ms-dos or C:\prompt. Once your in the dos. Type in
netstat at the prompt like this:

C:\netstat

You should recieve somthing like:

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP rupert:3011 209.61.191.170:http CLOSE_WAIT
TCP rupert:3071 205.188.8.182:5190 ESTABLISHED
TCP rupert:3076 64.12.27.170:5190 ESTABLISHED

This shows all are active connections to or computer. My computer is named Rupert.
Just to clear things up. So now we know what were doing with netstat. So lets get
with the fun stuff. Start up your AIM and log in. Start talking to one of your buddys on
your list. Tell them somthing on how you got a pic, or a nice tutorial hehe. Then
once they say yes ask them if you want to direct connect. They will say yeah of course.


To send a file in AIM
File -->Send File.

A notification will pop up to let you know the status of the file transfer.
As soon as the file transfer starts go back your ms-dos window and
type in Netstat.

C:\netstat

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP rupert:3011 209.61.191.170:http CLOSE_WAIT
TCP rupert:3071 205.188.8.182:5190 ESTABLISHED
TCP rupert:3076 64.12.27.170:5190 ESTABLISHED
TCP rupert:3069 63.243.53.85.atlantic.net:4443 ESTABLISHED

Wow ok we got another connection going on here.

63.243.53.85.atlantic.net ? Is that are buddy's IP I think so!

Now you have your buddy's IP. It's up to you on what you want to with it.


So there we go by using the netstat tool we were able to list are active
connections. And when we file transfering to or buddy the netstat command
gave us the result of his IP. Pretty basic stuff. Special Thanks to Debwalin.
I decided to make this for newbies. It's somthing in my opinon everyone should
be aware of.

yea all the ip will give ya is probably personal info on them nothing more...:)...likewith ip i could narrow some1's place of liveing and maybe even phone number with enough research but nothing more....like getting remote access is kinda hard wiht only their ip u would need an exploit for their OS

um this is very well known and works for many things other then chat programs.... but i honestly dont see any real point to this tutortial.. just my input


another thing u can do with newer versions of AIM is tell the user theres a easter egg (hidden feature) in AIM that if u right click where ur typeing and hit the letter I two times and hit enter really fast that ull get a cool AIM mini game that can be played online with friends that also do it.

it will send u their IP address in the message

you can't do much without and address so it is a significant start.

Well my main purpose was to put it for newbies, and those people that ask "How do I hack into my girlfriends computer" This way that have somthing to read instead of being annoying. So just to clear that up.

Netsyn I don't believe you are a newbie right? lol, j/k. But thanks for adding that on.

Also if anyone has any tutorials they would like to submit to my site I would be glad to put them up. There is already a good list going on. www.bonfire.tk

is it a no holds barred type of site (within legal limits of course)?

Or if there person is a moron, just ask for the ip.

If the person is a moron, they're probably not going to know what an IP is or how to find it. Ask the average AOL person what their IP is... I'd be interested in what kind of responses you got back (and, AOL being the world's largest service provider, well... *smirk*)


Besides... there are much easier ways to get a person's IP than having to do a file transfer with them in some IM program. Most people with a clue aren't going to allow direct connections like that in the first place... that's not to say that they can't be tricked out of revealing their IP (either purposely or through another means).

the way i see it is this is a security site so why the hell are you sitting here writeing a tutorial to teach newbies how to get other peoples IP addresses, why not write a tutorial about how to keep your IP as annon as possible..

do sumthing good with your time with this site, not waste space to make newbies think your cool

thats just my $0.02

Ummm.. NetSyn, I don't think that freeOn is going to get that message, he got banned. But I agree with you, more and more tutorials are popping up that teach people how to get access to other people's computers when they should be about how to make those computers secure from kiddies and lamers.

with the ip address..couldnt you port scan it and if it was running netbios, then you couldnt you gain access to their comp???

drew_1790 Yes that's true. I think freeOn's point in placing it up was to give people an idea of how it can happen. This also teaches both people the hacker, and the person who wants to stay anonymous. It was a well written tutorial on how to do it. I'ts a old trick but it works. Badmonkey your a just a moron, and you have nothing worthy to bring to the table. If i was you i would just commit suicide.

In regards to all this fun stuff...

I Agree that what FreeOn did was rather... um, "not in a sense of thinking" (to be polite). However, his statement being "It's somthing in my opinon everyone should
be aware of" I think seems to show that his intention in posting this was to make users aware of how people can grab your IP. And if you're an IP hog, (keeping your IP to yourself. [I'm not, I could care less, I'm not really hiding it, you could just goto dalnet and /whois atdt and bingo; hell, I'll just give you my current IP 67.210.111.58. If anyone likes black haired, brown eyes, Latin guys, just himme a ring. heh]) that will give you some insight on how people can grab your ip and do things to it.
And for the most part, there's nothing really massive that you can do to "hack" the ip to command the box that the ip belongs to, not without some nifty trojan script which we are all very fond if I can tell. (sarcasm). The only demage you can do it to port scan hit or DoS attack it, bit that can be avoided with some good firewall. (Hardware, not software).

In a statement saying "yea all the ip will give ya is probably personal info on them nothing more..." I am going to agree with that in all ways and I am also going to say since and IP does just that, then why all the rukus. Also, the ip will not give PERSONAL information like, address, and phone number, it'll just give you the internet service provider and sometimes a location of the ISP. All you have to do is resolve the IP and analyze the dns host.

There is so much contraversy with IP's and what people can do with them. And the answer is simply "not much". If you know how to take care of yourself (Which I will post a "Take care of your belongings" after this post) then you do not need to worry about someone getting your IP. If you are an IP hog, then you definately need to stay away from IRC or anything closely related to it, File transfers from people you don't know, direct connections, etc. Sometimes I think the word IP had become synonymous with "hack","crack","security","oh my god someone's gonna do awful nasty things to me". The truth is, there. is. nothing. to. be. worried. about. A good percentage of the people who actually GET an IP will have no god given clue as to what to do with it except brag to his friends that he has so-and-so's IP. And I think being banned just for giving HIS 2 cents is alittle extreme. After all, he was a forum person as he had over 700 posts. ME? I am not really a forum person which is why I don't have over 50 and very little antipoints.

There is my 2 cents.
