When transmitting information with friends on the Internet, sometimes you must first know the IP address of the other party's computer in order to establish an information transmission channel with the other party. So how can you search the other party's IP address? You may sneer at this question. Indeed, querying the other party's computer's IP address is so simple that it is not worth mentioning; however, when you want to list multiple IP address search methods, you may feel reluctant to do so. Below, this article proposes the following methods on how to quickly and accurately search the computer IP address of the other party’s friend. I believe it will be helpful to everyone!
1. Email query method
When using this method to query the IP address of the other party's computer, first ask the other party to send you an email first, and then you can obtain the IP address of the computer where the email sender is located by checking the email attributes; the following are the specific implementation steps of this method:
First run the OutLook express program, and click the "Accept All Emails" button in the toolbar to accept the email sent by your friend, then open the inbox page, find the email sent by your friend, and right-click it with the mouse, and execute the "Properties" command from the pop-up right-click menu;
In the properties settings window that opens afterwards, click the "Detailed Information" tab, and in the open tab page, you will see the information like "Received: from xiecaiwen (unknown [11.111.45.25])", where "11.111.45.25" is the IP address of the other party's friend; of course, if the other party's friend sends you an email through the WEB mailbox on the Internet, the IP address you see here is actually not the real IP address of the workstation where he is located, but the IP address of the website where the WEB mailbox is located.
Of course, if you are using other email client programs, the method of viewing the sender's IP address may be different from the above; for example, if you use foxmail to accept friend emails, then you can select the target email in your inbox, then click the "Mail" option in the menu bar, and select the "Original Information" command from the pop-up drop-down menu, and you can see the IP address of the other party's friend in the subsequent interface.
2. Log query method
This method is to monitor QQ chat records in real time through the firewall, then turn on the log records of the firewall to find the IP address of the other party’s friend. For the sake of convenience, this article will take the KV2004 firewall as an example to introduce to you how to search the IP address of the other party’s friend:
Considering that QQ chat with friends is done through the UDP protocol, you must first set up a KV firewall to automatically monitor the UDP port. Once you find that data enters from the UDP port, you will automatically record it. When setting up a KV2004 firewall, first click the "Rules Settings" button in the firewall interface, and then click the "New Rule" button to bring up the settings window;
Enter "Search IP Address" in the "Name" text box in the window, and also enter "Search IP Address" in the "Description" text box; then select the "Accept Data Packet" check box at the "Network Conditions" setting item, and set the "Optop IP Address" to "Any Address", and no settings are required at the "Local IP Address" setting item;
Next, click the "UDP" tab, and select the "Port Range" option at the "Local Port" setting item under the tab page, then enter "0" in the start box and enter "65535" in the end box; Similarly, at the "Opposite Port" setting item, also select the "Port Range" option, then enter "0" in the start box and enter "65535" in the end box.
Then, at the "When all conditions are met" setting item, select the "Pass" option, and at the same time select the "Record" option at "Other Processing", while the "Rules Object" setting item does not require any settings; after completing all the above settings, click the "OK" button to return to the main interface of the firewall; then select the "Search IP Address" rule just created in the main interface, and click the "Save" button to save the previous settings.
After completing the above settings, the KV firewall will automatically monitor the QQ chat history throughout. Once the other friend sends you a QQ message, the other friend's IP address information will automatically appear in the firewall log file. At this time, you can enter the installation directory of the KV firewall, find and open the "kvfwlog" file, and search the IP address of the other friend.
3. Tool query method
This method is to quickly search the IP address of the other party's computer through professional IP address query tools. For example, with the help of a search tool called WhereIsIP, you can easily search the IP address of the other party’s friend based on the web site address of the other party’s friend, and even search the physical location of the other party’s friend. When searching the other party's IP address with the WhereIsIP program, first start the program and open the search interface, then click the "Web site" button of the interface, enter the web address of the other party's friend in the subsequent window, and then click the "next" button. In this way, the program can automatically contact the Domain Name Whois database on the Internet, and then search the IP address corresponding to the web site address from the database. Of course, in addition to knowing the IP address, you can also know the specific physical location of the other party’s friend.
If you want to view the IP address of a workstation in the LAN, you can use tools such as "Network Assassin II" to help; as long as you run the tool and enter its main interface, then execute the "IP address <->hostname" command in the toolbar, enter the computer name of the other party's friend in the dialog box that opens thereafter, and then click the "Convert to IP" button to get the IP address of the computer where the other party's friend is located.
If you use the Oicqsniffer tool, it will be easier to query the IP address of your QQ friend. As long as you click the "Track" button in the program interface and send a QQ message to the other party's friend, the Oicqsniffer tool will automatically display the other party's friend's IP address and port number. In addition, there are many professional tools to choose from for finding IP addresses, such as IPsniper software.
4. Command query method
This method is to find out the IP address of the other party’s friend through the built-in network command "netstat" in Windows system. However, this method requires you to find a way to invite the other party’s friend to QQ’s “Two-person World” and say a few words. The following are the specific implementation steps of this method:
First, click the "Start"/"Run" command, enter the "cmd" command in the pop-up system run dialog box, and after clicking the "OK" button, switch the screen to the MS-DOS working state; then execute the "netstat -n" command in the DOS command line. In the pop-up interface, you can see which addresses have established a connection with your computer (if the corresponding connection status is "Established", it means that the connection between your computer and the other computer is successful);
Secondly, open the QQ program, invite the other party’s friends to join the “Two World”, and chat with friends a few words, so that your computer will establish a TCP connection with the other party’s friends’ computer; at this time, execute the “netstat -n” command in the DOS command line to see which tcp connection has been added now. The newly added connection is actually the UDP connection between the other party’s friends and you. Check the “Foreign Address” in the corresponding connection to know the IP address of the other party’s friends.
5. Ping Check Method
This method is to use the "ping" command to check whether the current computer can connect with the other party's friend's website. During the inspection, the address can automatically obtain the other party's website's IP address. For example, if you want to search the IP address of Tianji website, you can first open the system's running dialog box, then enter the "ping" string command, and then click the "OK" button. In the pop-up window, you can know the IP address of the website. Similarly, you can search the IP addresses of other websites.
OK, above are several common methods to query friends’ computer IP addresses; if you have other better methods, please keep adding and improving them!
