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



ROFLMAO!!

That's like the stupidest thing i've heard about this kind of happening.

She saw a dick, such a big deal. Internet's full of dicks anyway, no matter where you go it just pops out a dick out of nowhere. So i don't see the big deal.

1) Find a she-male striptease video. Having to look through tonnes of she-male porn to find this might not be the most fun task in the world, but you can ask Baal or Strafe or something.
2) Have your friend reply back, introducing said video as her "reciprocation".
3) Profit.

Yeah, no "??????" step, just immediate profit!

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

This. Only, provide a link to a page that is NOT your dick that records the ip of any visitors. Then use that ip with any of the aforementioned utilities. I've caught many rapists this way, or at least pinpointed their location to the nearest city/state of whatever proxy server they were using..

guys cmon... instant messages go through a server, you aren't directly connected to each other, so using a packet sniffer would just give you the ip of the server facilitating the exchange -_-. It would be a HUGE security risk if you could figure out someone's IP from an IM conversation, for example if you knew someone's IM from facebook or something, you could start a conversation with them and then potentially figure out their address from their IP.


And to the OP: Who the FUCK cares if a guy sent naked pictures online? ffs. OMG IT'S A HUMAN BODY NOOOOO. It's not like there was any physical contact whatsoever. Your friend should stop being such an overreacting piece of shit and realize that viewing a picture is not the same as being raped.

As was mentioned twice, for getting the IP address of the other person, you just need a packet tracer/dumpper/sniffer/whatever you want to call it open and running a trace on your Ethernet (wireless) adapter.

In the old days, everybody's favorite (mostly Unix) tool for this was tcpdump, one of those handy command-line tools. More recently, there's been a long-going open-source project to do the same, except providing a GUI and a whole lot of more features. using some of the old libraries of tcpdump (pcap or packet capture).

It was called Ethereal (somebody mentioned to use Ethereal), but a few years back the name was changed to Wireshark because of trademark issues (somebody mentioned to use Wireshark). Ethereal is deprecated.

Wireshark is legit software under GPL used by network professionals and researchers (and many more -- it has a large user base and good documentation), and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. No worries on this end.

if this guy thinks there's "justice" on the internet, and he wants to help a girl find someone who sent her gross pics (roflmao), then he won't be figuring out wireshark any time soon.
this is all pretty dumb

I can't believe you just attempted to give a history lesson of packet sniffers when you don't even understand that a packet sniffer is going to be useless in this situation. See my above post.

Yeah I'm retarded, thanks. Haven't used IM in years and forgot somehow it's not P2P. Last I used it, I sent files over direct connection, but this is obviously not the case here?

edit: I only use IRC these days, and that I would realize is obviously through a server, but yeah...just stupid of me sorry. I know better.

With AIM i'm pretty sure you can do Direct Connection and with MSN you can just initiate a file transfer. Right? both cases would allow you to connect directly.

This thread is too funny. Raped online? LMAO!

Seriously man I understand you are trying to get in this girls pants but in the US (idk about the Philippines) there is much better ways than nerd revenge. Unless this girl get turned on by nerd rage, you are taking the hard route.

And if you are not trying to get in her pants and legitimately trying to get this guy in trouble I REALLY doubt any cop will give 2 shits about this, it's just plain dumb !

As has already been said, it's unlikely you're going to pin this guy's location down and be able to teach him a lesson using the IP.
If your friend has him on any instant messenger program, they have an email address for him, try googling it using "his_email@whatever.com" with the quotation marks included to filter out anything but that exact address. See what turns up, you may get links for any forums, boards or groups he's signed up to. Could also be used to check for him on social networking sites.
Now... that kind of information could be used in interesting ways, especially if you have pictures.
If all else fails, post his email address and the webcam pics on 4chan along with a message tailored to ignite their fury then sit back and let them do your work for you. Or create a craigslist advert in the men seeking men section on his behalf.

Well, that is true but only if both people agree to initiate the transfer (which is the security measure). I was assuming, possibly erroneously, that he had shared the pictures with her without initiating a direct connection (this can be done), but if they indeed initiated a direct connection then of course packet sniffing to obtain the offender's IP would be possible.

Anyway, it's too late to get the guy's IP at this point unless your friend can trick him into this kind of situation and log the packet exchanges.

Depending on the messaging application this may require some form of direct connection to the target machine (such as AOL Instant Messenger's "Direct Connect" option for image/audio messaging). In addition, to make things easier by way of reducing output, don't have any other instant messages and/or direct connections active except for the one to the target machine while following the guide.

During an instant message/direct connection open the Start menu. On XP click Run, type "cmd" without quotes into the box and click OK. For Vista just type "cmd" without quotes and hit Enter. At this point I'd recommend clicking the program icon in the upper left corner and choosing "Properties." Then, under the "Layout" tab, increase the width of the window by 10 to 20 pixels. This should make reading the output easier.

In the command prompt type "cd C:\" without quotes then press the Enter key. This takes you to your root directory. I'm compulsive and I like to start in the root directory. Type "cls" without quotes then press the Enter key. This clears the command line interface. I'm compulsive and I like to start with a clear CLI. Type "netstat -b" then press the Enter key. This provides you with some output. I'm compulsive and I lik... wait, this gave us some output.

+ Show Spoiler +
* I do like output!


What you see at this point is output of current connections being made to/from your PC. Look for the row(s) with the name of the messaging application's executable (aim.exe, msmgs.exe, yahoomessenger.exe, etc). The IP in the "Foreign Address" column will be that of the target machine. If there are multiple results look for the odd one out of the bunch. It won't be a connection to login.messaging.aol.com or snc1.facebook.com or the sort. It will be something like 192.168.1.100 except that it won't be anything like 192.168.x.x (where x is a number from 0 to 255) because that range is reserved for private networks. It'll be some numbers though.

So now you've got their IP address. From here you can do a number of things that may or may not be legal depending on where you reside. I won't delve into any major details one way or the other but typically the legal route is to gather all the necessary data (time of occurrence, offender's IP address, chat-logs, etc) and present it to their ISP's abuse department and/or the proper authorities. If the offender is outside of your country you might be SOL; I couldn't say. Perhaps someone here that speaks legalese could assist in that area.

Edit: I should add that you may end up with the IP of a proxy server, which won't do you any good. Also, as already debunked above, a packet sniffer is good for a man in the middle attack on a network you're connected to but won't help for this. No extra tools are needed to get an IP, just the command prompt that comes with every copy of Windows.

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 gotta say Im disgusted aswell, I have friends that have been raped IRL, raped online?? ??? ..... I have no words .... no words ....

That's what I thought.

I agree, not to mention on webcam, you have to accept somebody's webcam or go to a site. You don't just have a webcam of somebody's dick in your face out of nowhere.
