As far as I know, msn communications are sent through a server and not directly to the user you are communicating with. As such, you have no open connection to the user and therefore no way to determine his/her IP address.

However, I could be wrong. MSN might use direct peer to peer connections in thier protocols... if this is the case, then issuing the netstat command at a command prompt will give you a list of all open connections. You then need to determine which one of those is the address of the user you are trying to locate. This would be done through normal reverse dns resolution procedures.

yea its easy.

1) open the window and double click on the buddy whos IP you want
2)enter the following text
"Hey its me <enter your name>, whats your IP address?"
3) wait for response.

Believe it or not, this "1337" technique will work for any messenger program.

don't know much about msn but because of performance issues many programs do the following:
- if both users are using nat (for example and can't be directly reached) send user messages to the server and users query the server.
in this case i dont think you can know the other person ip.
- if one of the users are not using nat(for example, or can be directly reached), establish a socket between the two computers. send messages using this socket between users.
in this case a sniffer or even netstat will reveal the other person ip.

Well ... i can't say getting ip addresses via Msn is difficult. A friend of mine coded a tool making use of an exploit found in msn messenger 6.0 and lower versions to find the ip address of a user .Its called Sixth Sense. Check out his site

I never bothered to try it out .... What good is an Ip address anyway ?? ;-)

use msn plus and use the ping pong tool, it only works if your buddy agrees to it

Why would you post a link to a product you "Never Bothered To Try?".

Damn dude, what's your point?

What good is an IP?

Hey !

Well Galdron ... i'll tell u my point. I never wanted to get the ip of my msn buddies. So even though i knew of this tool, i never bothered to try it out. The only reason one would want to find out the ip of some msn buddy would be for malicious purposes. Msn isn't all that secure as it is considered to be. And thank you for that refreshing stuffs on ips.
Maybe the below link can be of some good to your senior member ass ;)

And lol Val ! ... i agree that his site kindda sucks in appearance. I'll forward him the link. Thanks :) !

Cheers

Other ways to obtain ip

See there are a number of ways to get the IP address of a person:

1) If you are chatting with some using yahoo or msn messenger then you won't be able to see the ip address of the victim directly because all communications takes place via yahoo and msn servers. There is no peer to peer connection between you and the victim. So to get the ip address use the send file oprion and wait for you victim to accept the file. Once the transfer starts there is a peer to peer connection being established between you and the victim. Now you can use the netstat -n command to see the victim's ip address. Same is true when using webcam for chatting.

2) Use social engineering techniques to get the ip address of your victim.

3) Go and learn some scripting languages and code a page which can log the ip address of the visitor. Now ask your victim to view that page and you can have his/her ip address.

msn messenger 7 by default makes a direct connection when u open a chat window with someone.
This option can be turned off, but no one realy does it ;) so you dont have to send files if you both use msn 7 :)

This is one of the lamest threads I've seen in a while.... and that's pretty sad considering some of the unadulterated crap we have had here recently...

The question really comes down to "What can you do with an IP address"?

You might be able to:-

1. Ping it.
2. Traceroute it.
3. Do a DNS lookup on it.
4. Do a reverse DNS lookup on it.
5. Do a whois on it
6. Finger it... The skiddies will love that one... Closest they'll ever get to sex.... :rolleyes:
7. NMap it
8.... about 1000 other things to it.... I'm bored now.....

But, unless you have a malicious intent... Why would you bother?

If you have malicious intent..... Grow up... You're a loser.....
