getting IP

Hi,
Does anybody know how to get the IP address of the person you are chatting with on msn messenger and other related messenger services like yahoo?

Make a direct connection with them and then go to MS-DOS promp and type "netstat -a" without the quotes. This has been asked a lot!

By the way, why do you want it? if its for legit reasons, just ASK them for it...

well how would you make a direct connection in yahoo or MSN, i thought that was possible only in AOL ??

ya mairu is right how can we make a direct connection in msn or yahoo? can anyone tell us that?
well avenger, i ain't gonna do anything illegal. just wanna know some stuff for the sake of plain knowledge.

in msn NFW you are hopped and hopped to diff msn servers and NOONE but msn knows ur IP

yahoo. I haven't used their search nor chat in like 2 years

Yahoo also all goes thru the yahoo's proxy servers so you'll only get that ip. I have thought though that if you make a webcam connection then maybe you will have their ip, but i've never tested it.

You can make a direct connection with MSN users by letting them download something from you. While the download is in progress, you'll have a direct connection.

Good idea Sick Dwarf!
I think a direct connection could be when the other person is typing something as u could see in the typing indicator.
Any more suggestions.

Didn't I just write a small tutorial on how to do it? Oh man see It only pleased the kiddies for a week and then once it's gone there back to posting these stupid threads.

Well here you go youngin

You DON'T have a direct connection, in MSN evrything goes thrue the MSN server ! !

With MSN you can't get the other person's IP

can't u just ask them? well u can always netstat -n but i dunno bout Yahoo and MSN.. haven't used them...

If you need the person's IP address, just ask them for it. Besides, what do you need it for? Sorry, but to me it sounds like you wish to have their IP adress for malicous purposes but I may be wrong. Eitherway, it doesn't seem to me like you really need it anyways.

Nice Tutorial freeOn

search google for a yahoo ip sniffer, is my answer (isn't "google it!" always the answer these days?)

however, i'm not sure that there ARE any ip sniffers for yahoo, they'd have to sniff past all the proxies. I know there are sniffers for AIM and ICQ.

i'm assuming you're not going to use their ip for malicious stuff.

What's all this "if you want there IP just ask for it" stuff? Obviously hollow_man wants to know how someone obtains an IP by herself/himself. I don't see anything illegal or really malicious about it. And I'm sure most people here wouldn't ask someone for an IP anyway. It's not like he is asking "how do I **** someone up?".

hollow_man, you should probably check the tutorial forums out. FreeOn's tutorial that he posted about is an excellant start.

its all in my tut here -> http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=133298

To clear this up, from experience, just checked with another MSN user to find out for sure -
if they send you a file, and you accept, netstat will show you the IP address of a user that is sending you a file.

Ok, I know a way for finding the IP through Yahoo messenger but I'm sure it will work on MSN too.
All you should do is that send your IP address to your chat partner like this : http:// www.your_IP_here.com, and before doing that download a firewall like "attacker" (attacker can listen to specific ports and will alarm when detects a connection.)
So when the other side click on the link, it will try to connect to your pc on port 80 and the your firewall will alarm and show you the victims IP address. Or instead of using firewalls you can do netsat -n command periodically to see which IP is connecting you through port 80.

Tips:
I would recommend you sign up for a little URL Redirect thing from like cc.st or cjb.net and use http://your-ip-here as the Link and make the URL Cloked, it is a lot easyer because the person will think that it is a web site, and they will click the Link.

And also it is better to send your IP using scocial engineering.

And also it is better to not do that with a hacker.

Thanks for the support bquine, I don't actually have anything malicious in my mind. Its simply for the sake of knowledge. If there is any way to find out the IP then I wanna know for educational purpose. I also want to know if a person can get my IP address; just for security reasons. I don't wanna trick someone into finding their IP, its just that if there is any method of doing that?
