How do people find out your IP address?

Can people find out what your IP address is?

  • Can people online somehow find out what your IP address is? Is there a way to hack your computer or something? Thanks

  • Answer:

    The easiest way to find out your IP address is via email. Actually, when you send email to someone else then with email travel something called "email header" and "email header" contain many information's about email self but also about IP address from sender, time etc.... There are many email trackers online that can easily find out IP address and location from any email. You can test it for yourself. Open any of your received emails, then find out email header and use http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/email-tracking/email-header.php or http://www.ip-address.org/tracker/trace-email.php to track email sender. Both works great and they will give you many useful information's about sender.

Any computer you connect to - any website you visit is capable of logging your IP address. It's no big deal, as long as you don't have any absolutely gaping security holes on your network (like a horrendously outdated web server), there's not much someone can do with just an IP address.

Meh, Internets

If they know the network name you are connected to, they can list out all the IP address of machines using the network. To hack your computer IP address is not mandatory.
