I will try today to answer a popular question that is causing a lot of fear, for not much.
What can you do with my IP address?
Someone got my IP address and threatens me, what can it do exactly?
Well, I assure you, he can not do much.
It may first try, I say to try to trace you, that is, to see the path that "network packets" to determine your location.
This process is automated with websites such as: http://whatismyipaddress.com/ or http://www.iplocation.net/
Only this hire is not accurate, it is estimated. It is estimated using the path taken by the packets, only the country can really be trusted.
You will also see that this estimated rent changes according to the websites, it can be mistaken for hundreds of miles as it can be accurate.
Only your ISP can actually recognize the individual behind an IP address. Because you have given this information by subscribing to the package.
This happens particularly in the context of anti-piracy procedures.
Can i get my IP easily?
Yes, very easily, the following php code will get your IP address when you visit a website:
$ Ip = $ _SERVER ['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Communications networks use IP addresses at any time. It may be worth trying to hide IP address to be anonymous, but usually your IP address is shared here and there without it poses problems.
What can one do with my IP address?
One can possibly attack an IP address distributed denial of service, it is particularly effective if it is an IP address of a server with a website. This can be made inaccessible because it is floodé he receives too many requests at the same time and can not manage them all. Without content, the network may be crowded.
IP addresses generally do not change, it is fixed. In this case, a person in possession of your IP address may possibly recognize the other and therefore recognize you at the same time.
But everyone is not a director of 100 sites, and this identification is infeasible without cooperation of the Illuminati.
This is rather used at one site for example whether you have created multiple accounts. Same for the ban, we can check if your IP address connects to the site and block access if it is no longer permitted.
Conclusion
We often think this way:
It is difficult to retrieve an IP address but you can do many things with it.
While the reality is:
It is very easy to get an IP address but you can not do much with.
This goes both ways, you can not do much else either in possession of an IP address of your pirate, even if it's already better than nothing.
