Doxing

 

What is doxing? It’s essentially gathering a bunch of information on a target they generally wouldn’t want you to know. Everything from name, e-mail, zip code, and even address.

Find An IP Address From A Known MAC Address

Instructions

 

1

Click the Windows “Start” button and select “Run.” In the textbox, type “cmd” and click the “Ok” button. This opens a DOS prompt.

2

Type “arp” in the command prompt. This gives you a list of options to use with the arp command.

3

Type “arp -a” in the command prompt. This lists a number of MAC addresses with the associated IP addresses. Since you have the MAC address, scroll down the list to find the associated IP address. The MAC address is shown in the “Physical Address” column with the IP address in the “Internet Address” column. An example of a table record is in Step 4.

4

Evaluate results. The following is an example of ARP output. The first column is the IP address. The second column is the MAC address, and the third is the type of IP assigned–static or dynamic.

Using Proxies

 

One of the easiest ways to hide your computer, and thus hide you, while on the web is to use proxies. Proxies act as a computer between you and the rest of the web. When you are surfing the web through a proxy, any web servers you connect to, actually think you are connecting from the proxy computer.
