Marco Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hey.. Last night between 11:30pm - 2am (British Summer Time) apparently someone was on my account, I'm pretty sure I have no keylogger, as it wasn't exactly a 'proper hack'. All that's missing from my Runescape account is my Wizard (G) robes, Zamorak Kiteshield, Mithril ores (?![didn't take Adamant ores!]) and some other items worth maybe 100k. What's weird is I have all my money still, and I think about 200k more.. :-s I don't care about the items at all, it's just a game, however I would love to find out who it was as I believe I know the person. I've got the IP address and have sent it to Jagex, but I they're having problems with their customer support as I haven't even recieved an automated message to something I asked a week ago. I'd just like to know if there's anything I can do myself with this IP address and if I can find out the location of the computer used? Thanks, Um Bong0 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albosky Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 http://www.dnsstuff.com you can trace the IP address back to the ISP , and often a "somewhat close" location but its not going to tell you the exact address of the persons house , and their ISP wont tell you either :P I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 www.dnsstuff.com you can trace the IP address back to the ISP , and often a "somewhat close" location but its not going to tell you the exact address of the persons house , and their ISP wont tell you either :P If you contact the ISP, they might issue a warning of some sort to the person who owns the account. You know, most ISP's would frown upon their subscribers using keyloggers/trojans to steal passwords on computers. Notoriously Trollish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 In the UK at least, 'somewhat close' can mean 100+ miles as entering mine in there shows the ISP's central link thing in Birmingham.

IceBlackIce Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I though jagex didnt allow connections from a proxy..oh well. You can use this to get to know what was the ISP and country to narrow your suspects : http://www.analysespider.com/ip2country/lookup.php But i doubt you will have any luck asking any info to the ISP, they only disclose that to authorities and with a court order. You could act naive and ask the person you suspect what is his IP though, could be the same that the one used to get in your account. *** [ END ]: You gained 1,671,000 thieving exp in 9mins 44secs.

Cruiser Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 In the UK at least, 'somewhat close' can mean 100+ miles as entering mine in there shows the ISP's central link thing in Birmingham. DNSstuff has never been close. These guys are much, much better at what they do, being a full time geoIP company. I've used there City IP location to scare more than a few self proclaimed internet experts back into line. :lol: As the others have said, having an IP address doesn't really mean anything. It could be dynamic, it could be a proxy. Best thing you can do is notify Jagex of the date you noticed the IP and the IP that wasn't you and let them do whatever it is they do about the matter. They should be able to track down where the items went and ban the offender. Other than that, you're stuck with resecuring your account/computer and moving on.

Marco Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wow! Thank you to everybody who's helped me with this. Didn't think anyone would post on this topic :-w www.dnsstuff.com you can trace the IP address back to the ISP , and often a "somewhat close" location but its not going to tell you the exact address of the persons house , and their ISP wont tell you either :P That website did actually give me an exact address, it was within 'Herndon, VA (Virginia), USA' However the address given looks to be a company address, and seeing that the person/people who I'm suspecting the most are in North Carolina, and still in college (or whatever it's called at that age in America) I don't think that's right. However maybe that address was were the server is located or their internet service provider is based? Ah, I don't know... In the UK at least, 'somewhat close' can mean 100+ miles as entering mine in there shows the ISP's central link thing in Birmingham. DNSstuff has never been close. These guys are much, much better at what they do, being a full time geoIP company. I've used there City IP location to scare more than a few self proclaimed internet experts back into line. :lol: Using the City Ip Locator you gave (thank you!) it's located it to Houston, Texas. Now, living in London/Bristol all my life, I'm not sure if either Houston (TX) or Herndon (VA) are that close to North Carolina, so again, maybe that's the location of.. Something else.. I though jagex didnt allow connections from a proxy..oh well. You can use this to get to know what was the ISP and country to narrow your suspects : http://www.analysespider.com/ip2country/lookup.php I couldn't get any information from this site, I tried all the various ways I know of to write the IP address (just the numbers/whole address/numbers with dots [.] connecting instead of hyphons[-]) but alas, nothing. Thank you all again for the help, maybe if I find out how to write the IP adress in a way which will make it valid for all sites I might get a better location.

Both sound like dialup companies. :? I know AOL lookups all return a city in Virginia because of how they route all their connections. I think there's a few other ISPs that get listed out of Houston too, for the same reasons. Either way, the format RS gives you the IP in is a standard format, so you aren't going to get any closer than you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaN Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I assume you would use netstat in dos to obtain their ip address or for people who dont know the netstat command to well there is an extremly usefull tool here http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username388 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 netstat's a DOS command!? Lol, I didn't know that. I use it all the time in Linux. Thanks for telling me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonda Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Eh, it located me, my college IP, and several of my friends down to a T. Maybe you guys are just having tough luck or not using it correctly? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 No, you said it yourself - a college IP. Chances are they have their own node, so will be detected perfectly as their traffic isn't being routed through an ISP's central link. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

DaN Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 how close can you trace an ip to its scource, Ive never had a need to do it so im not sure how accurate it is. myip is 124.178.183.62 id like to see how acurate people can track that. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you use Telstra. The site gives a latitude & longitude, but I'd be very sceptical of that. Here - http://maps.google.com/?q=-31.9333%20115.8333 - that could be where the exchange you use is located, or it could just be "Perth" It tends to be more accurate (geographically) for areas with larger internet use/population eg. in the USA.

The last time I looked mine up, I ended up in a corn feild 10 miles from my house. It still had the city name correct though. It's still by far the most accurate IP locater I've ever found. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
