| 303869 | 2004-12-16 07:17:00 | Just so you all know the child known as POTUS has been busy hijacking ids all day . This has resulted in lots of work for myself, the other mods and the online team of Jim and Mary - people who have been working hard to bring you the new forum . He has hijacked the ids of several well-respected members, and either posed as them and made abusiive/stupid comments, or simply prevented them from registering their id . This is abuse, plain and simple . Any of you who have any simpathy for this . . . thing . . . . are very misguided . Anyone who has info on who POTUS is, please feel free to do us and all PressF1 users a favour and let me know . I will pursue it to the point of contacting his ISP and attempting to get his account closed . And no, trace route on his IP is so far a dead end . |

| 303871 | 2004-12-16 07:25:00 | *ahem* I do this for a living, so if you have the IP address there are much better ways than tracing. Get the reverse DNS by doing - this is the easiest: *nix dig -x xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Windows nslookup -q=ptr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The reverse DNS should give away the ISP of origin. *nix whois xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Windows Find a web-based whois server or ask a *nix user to do it for you. That should give you a vague indication as to who owns it, though some ISP's use ranges borrowed from or sold wholesale to larger organisations. |

| 303872 | 2004-12-16 07:29:00 | dosen't vBulletin have an IP lookup feature that shows a users ISP? in my informal testing, it did... | Edward (31) | ||
| 303873 | 2004-12-16 07:29:00 | You see, I knew I needed input from soime geeks. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 303874 | 2004-12-16 07:33:00 | You see, I knew I needed input from soime geeks. If I get the first three octets (i.e: 192.168.1.x) I can tell ya where it came from piece of cake. Don't need the last octet, and that would preserve any privacy required. |

| 303877 | 2004-12-16 07:44:00 | His ISP will know exactly whom was using that ip at the time. | Metla (12) | ||
| 303878 | 2004-12-16 07:45:00 | Oh, and FYI - a lot of ISP's block the packets used for a traceroute. You need to use a tool like mtr for linux, or WinMTR for windows to get around this. http://winmtr.sourceforge.net |
