Hi guys, anyone has an idea on how to identify then trace the IP address of someone you're chatting with over at an Instant Messenger?

My friend got harassed over the net, and I'm not talking about simple badmouthing, the guy sent obscene pics to my friend which can't be unseen. She wants justice handed over to that fucker, and I want to help her.:D

So, anyone know a legit program (the ones w/o viruses, better if it's just a website) that can identify and possibly trace IPs? thanks a lot. The email add is still alive.

My browser closes whenever I go to sites with those, I guess my anti-virus is overprotective.

EDIT: My friend really insists on getting the IP of the person, I tried to convince her on settling on spambots but to no avail.

If you can get them to accept a trojan everything would be easier, and more illegal.

What happened to just signing them up to loads of spam, easy and effective.
No I'm never serious.

You can try that if you have the guy's IP.

You can use a packet sniffer to get his IP like using Ethereal

I just wanted to let you know in a totally non-dick way that you want the word "obscene" not "obscure"

What do you achieve by knowing where that guy is?

You probably won't even know that guy. And if you did, what difference does it make?

Well, apparently, my friend felt she (and the other victims) felt raped, online.

yeah, easier said than done really.

I'm just consoling her right now and you know the feeling when you can't tell them what do to because it's already done? Damn it's hard.

Thanks for the help guys, we tried but it was just plain impossible.

Whaaaaaaaa? Creeped out, sure. Scared, maybe. But raped? Please. That's an insult to actual rape victims. Stop talking with random people and you won't have this problem. The other alternative is to get over it; it's a dick, big deal. If she was dumb enough to give this guy her name/address/personal information, then the problem is on a whole different level.

Also, if she was so offended by the picture or the webcam (whichever came first), why did she stick around long enough to see the other?

I'm actually on the side of the guy that sent her pics. Since when is sending pics grounds for "justice" in the form of spambots or whatever it is you have in mind?

What if you find out he's in another country?
Just forget about it.

What exactly do you plan on doing if you do find out where he is? Report him to the police? Unless your friend is underage then I seriously doubt anyone will even pay attention to you.

My advice is just to get over it, and learn from your mistakes. It's only a picture of a penis, now she has learned an incredible lesson to not accept images or links from people she doesn't know - and this will probably save her from viruses or worse in the future.

Aside from this, I would say:
a) sent pics of your dick back.
b) wire shark or something to trace the packets.
