How to Accurately Locate Smartphones using Seeker

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to find someone’s location by using a tool called Seeker.

The great thing about Seeker is that other tools and services provide IP geolocation, which is NOT accurate at all and only provides an ISP location rather than the target location.

Seeker works best with smartphones because it makes use of the HTML API to obtain location permission and then grabs the Longitude and Latitude using the device’s GPS Hardware.

If the GPS Hardware is not present, such as on a computer, seeker fallbacks to IP geolocation, or it will look for coordinates.

Install Seeker

To install the tool, you need to download/clone the package from Github using the following command.

git clone https://github.com/thewhiteh4t/seeker.git

Then change the directory to the seeker folder using cd seeker in the terminal, and type the following command to start the tool.

python3 seeker.py

Make sure you have python3 installed on your system to run the tool.
