How to Find the Exact Location of Anyone? | OSINT -Part 1
Hello People, 👋
I would like to write about the OSINT Framework that’s why I started the First Part of OSINT now.
What is OSINT?
OSINT stands for open source intelligence, which refers to legally gathered information about an individual or organization from free public sources.
I hope you are all very curious to read this blog because if anybody asks you to find anyone’s location suddenly We will think for one second “Is it possible to find anyone’s location?” but my answer to you all is “Yes” you can find the location of anyone, You can find his/her location using “IP logger” method. If you want to know exactly how can we find the Location there’s another method we will see in future blogs but trust me this IP logger method will be easy for you all.
Let’s start
Before Finding a location we need to know “What is an IP logger?” because using this technique anyone can find your location. Let me tell you how it works.
What is an IP logger?
IP logging refers to “Capturing the IP address of the end-user computer accessing the Internet via some online service” or a web application. Typically, the user IP address is logged and archived as part of the web server logs that host the web application.
How to Capture the IP address of the End user?
There are two web-based tools are there such as :
- IP Logger — https://iplogger.org/
- Grabify — https://grabify.link/
Some other tools are also available but these two web-based tools are the most commonly used tools that I have mentioned above.
Note: “IP logger is better than Grabify” Because Grabify will not give the exact location. it will give approximately
I am gonna use “IP Logger” Here: https://iplogger.org/
Follow the Steps :
- Create an account on any one of those websites and Login in to the application.
2. Now search for any image, copy the image URL, and Paste it into the Input field then click the “Create a short link” button.
3. After creating a short link you can see some options such as “Smart data and GPS data” It will be disabled so you have to enable it manually and If you want to edit the URL you can edit it.
4. After Editing the Options and URL send it to your target individual and let him click the URL “Once he clicked the URL Just visit your IP Logger site and see the result at the bottom of those options.
Note: You can enable the Notification Option to get notification once your target clicks the URL
5. I Just directly clicked the URL and I got the visitor result here. Now click the “smart data” to see the location on a map.
6. Successfully we found the location right! I hope you all understand it well it is only for educational purposes so Do not perform on anyone.
Do follow me for more interesting blogs like this and share a maximum of those who asked you “How can we find the location of someone ?”
Stay tuned for “OSINT Part-2" Happy Hacking …❤️
