    Big Grin Invasion of Privacy

    Very interesting article about the illusion of anonymity in a network.

    It not manual for invasion,this is for informational purposes.

    SOURCE WOT - GREEN

    DISCLAIMER:
    This is ABSOLUTELY for informational purposes ONLY. attackvector.org nor I will be held responsible for how you choose to use the information that I post on my blog. This individual, though he is a douche for sending spam, is a real person with a real life. By misusing the information found here, you have the power to potentially destroy someones real life. There’s a fine line between a legal hack and a felony. Information gathering is not illegal so long as it’s obtained through legal means. Using the information, however, is quite another story.

    UPDATE: Because of something that one of my readers brought up, I want to clarify. The email that I received was not the run of the mill malware/spambot/whatever style email. The email was coming from his email address, using his business’s name, and advertising his business. I would have never posted this had I had any doubt that this may not have actually been sent, by him, in some fashion.
    END OF DISCLAIMER.


    ...I happened to receive a piece of spam at the exact moment as I was going to start a post about privacy and anonyminity on the internet. I will consider this to be a sign from God that this dude needed to be set straight. Okay, maybe not. I’m not sure what the bible says about spam.. but if I were God, it would be into the pits of hell for them. So, since I cannot cast people into eternal suffering in a firey pit, I will have to settle for second best. Pwnage!

    Whats even better, none of what I’m about to do is illegal. It’s a serious, serious invasion of privacy, and you definitely don’t want it to happen to you, but all of it can be harvested through public record, social networks, forum posts, etc etc etc.

    First, lets take a look at the email that I received...

    Ok, so, his email address is ...

    All we really need is his email address and his IP. Lets see what we can find...

    Just go to shows how easy some people can be tracked and traced, i have no time for spammers and would report the pedophile scum, and not get involved with that, but for decent folk out there this is a worthy read, not something i have tried to track and trace any spammer or so called office, but it can be an eye opener..

    This article is very sobering and it makes me wonder about the wisdom of having anything to do with the internet! Maybe one of my neighbors has it right. He's a Survivalist, who has his property fenced off from intruders, a bunker built into a side hill and more weapons than I can count!
    There may be a bit of snow on the roof, but there is still a fire blazing in the hearth!

    This was a very sobering post. I haven't ever tried to trace anyone but it really makes you wonder how safe are the good guys.

    That guy who sent the email was digging his own grave if you ask me. I don't blame the author who tracked him down.
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby
