How to trace & get IP Address of Target Person
By Chandan Singh
IP (Internet Protocol) Address is one of the most important components or part of the internet, as well as cyber forensics. With the help of IP address all digital devices, computers communicate with each other, and this is allotted to that device, such as static or dynamic. That all the reasons law enforcement agencies are using IP address to trace Cyber Criminal.
This tutorial helps to get IP address with time and referrer of URL. Instead, there are many online websites, through you can get the IP address of any person by sending a link, But I recommend you to create your own IP grabber PHP Script.
Prerequisites:
- PHP Script of IP Grab
- Web hosting Sites
PHP Script of IP Grab
PHP is programming language which was established as create websites, PHP has some good programming code so you can easily get the IP address, Timing, Referrer, User Agent (Details of browser and operating system). Before the bind off all code here is the short and basic description of all code. So you can understand that how is it work.
Get IP Address
$_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”]
This code is used for getting remotely IP address of the victim. Basically, its grab the server IP which victim is using that time.
Get User Agent
$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]
User Agent is acting on behalf of the user to the browser and other requests and responses. Web Browser telling a website information all about the operating system and browser.
Referrer Page
$_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”]
This script of code is used to get referrer of your link. For example, you send IP Grab script through facebook chat, then in a referrer, you can see facebook URL. This will help you for getting IP address of two or more victims.
Get Time
$n = time();
$t = gmstrftime(“%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT”, $n );
This script of code is used to get time of click on that URL which you send to victim.
Now create a combine file so you can easily grab victim’s IP Address so just open notepad on your computer and copy paste below script.
<?php
$f=fopen(“ip.txt”,’a’);
$n = time();
$t = gmstrftime(“%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT”, $n );
fwrite($f,”IP=”.$_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”].”\n”);
fwrite($f,”user agent=”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’].”\n”);
fwrite($f,”Referer Page=”.$_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”].”\n”);
fwrite($f,”TIME=”.$t.”\n\n\n\n”);
fclose($f);
?>
Now save this notepad file with the name of ipgrab.php (.php is the must).

If you have web hosting sites or want to purchase then there are a lot of websites, purchase them according to your requirements. But as well as a lot of websites provide free web host. I recommend you to use www.000webhost.com or you can use another also, just google with free web hosting site and you have a lot of option to create an account on the free web hosting sites.
In this tutorial I am using www.000webhost.com So just open website and click sign up for free and fill your name, email address, strong password, and your domain name, if you have your own domain, then click on Own Domain otherwise select Free Subdomain and create according to your requirement, I am using cyberopsdemo subdomain.
