In cyberspace people like to chat with others.Most of them love
to use messengers,becouse they have pritty cool options.But did
you ever though that an introder can break in to your computer
system due to your single chat session.(confused???)
Your cyberpal can find your IP address while he chat
with you via messenger.Now someone can ask question.Whats the
matter if somebody knew my IP address? or What he going to do
with my IP address?
Remember in cyberspace your IP address is very important thing
just like your personal phone number.With your IP address people
can do many things.They can break in to your computer,crash it or
steal your sensitive details like credit card details,install malwares,
or use your computer to host their web site.
I wrote this not only tell you to protect your self but also
tell you to how to find someone's IP address via messengers.
Okay if you want to see your cyberpal's IP address you have to set up
a file transfer otherwhise you got the IP of some server.Ask him that
you like to show him your photo or something and then transfer the
file via messenger.When you transfer a file via messenger,two divices(your
computer and his/her computer) will establish peer to peer link(dedicaded
direct link).when you selecting a file to transfer it's good to select
large file.If you use MSN messenger a file must be more
than 1024KB becouse if you send file less than 1024KB you will not find
your cyber pals IP inseted you will get some microsoft server IP address.
Okay go to command line during file transfer.Then type "netstat -a"
(without quotes)and hit enter.Look for port 80 or.....
My suggestion:go cmd before file transfer and type netstat -a .remember
the ports and IP addresses.Then type netstat -a again while file trnsfer
it will help you to recognize you cyber pal's IP address.
Thats all.Thank you!!!
