Step 1: Goto My IP TEST Page, you will see 3 fields:
- Link for person – link that you need to message your friend
- Redirect URL(optional) – your friend will be Redirect to the Specified URL after he clicks the Link.
- Link for you – This link is for you to check if your friend has clicked your link.
Step 2: Enter the Redirect URL (eg: www.facebook.com)
Step 3: Copy the link from ‘Link for person’ and send it to your friend via message or wall post
Step 4: Copy and ave the URL from ‘Link for you’ and do check it frequently. You will get your friends IP if he or she clicks on your link.
The Good part about this is when you receive Notification email from facebook saying for example:
" {Facebook user} sent you a message on Facebook." OR " {Facebook user} commented on a photo of you on Facebook"
Along with Facebook’s Server IP, They also include the IP address of the ‘Facebook user’ in the Header of the email. So why not we use this Bug? ofcourse you will need to enable ‘Full header’ in the email. If you don’t know how to view header of the email please read our previous post :
What is header, How to find the IP address of the email sender using header?
-I assume that you have the header opened. just look for the line that says “X-Facebook” in the headers. Here’s an example:
X-Facebook: from zuckmail ([MTI3LjAuMC4x]) by www.facebook.com with HTTP (ZuckMail);
The IP address above is Base64 encoded and Yes “MTI3LjAuMC4x” is the String that you got to decode. Now grab a good Base64 to ASCII text Converter and decode the string to get the IP address. After decoding “MTI3LjAuMC4x” will become 127.0.0.1. isn’t it so simple?.
-Worried about your Privacy?
If you are worried about your Privacy than it’s worth telling you that knowing an IP address isn’t necessarily a security risk. For example, Web sites and other servers must have their IP address publicized in order to get traffic. It’s like knowing the mailing address to a house: Sure, it’s better if someone doesn’t know where your house is, but if they do, they would still need to bypass the home security to break in. eventually IP address is enough for a hacker to break into your network if your Firewall is weak. so better be careful. May be facebook should use encryption instead of encoding for privacy purpose….but who cares?
Now that you have the IP, What next?
Now that you already have the IP address you can do lot of things. if you know some hacking, you would probably test you skills on that IP address. If it’s serious issue i would recommend take the IP address and go file FIR against that person. or you can always lookup more information about that IP. To do so we will be using IP tracer service. Go to the below address and paste the IP address in the box that says “lookup this ip or website”. and it will show you the location of the user.
http://www.ip-adress.com/ipaddresstolocation/
It will show you all the information about that user along with his ISP and a Location in the MAP. Now in the MAP Just click on “click for big ip address location” in the big picture you can actually zoom in. and try to recognize the area.
