Fixed that for you.

Having their IP will, at best, locate their ISP.

You can find their general location with just an IP. My IP traces back to brooklyn, which is very close to where I live.

Exact address though, Yes, you need a warrant.

Isn't that what I said?

It's not actually you're location that you get back, it's the ISP's location that it's getting back. The fact that you're located near to your ISP is not a coincidence, of course. However, if you dialed in to an old AOL phonebank in Kansas, your IP would sure enough show up as Kansas.

Having someones IP, at best, locates their physical geographical location. l2internet newfag

No. That's not even close to what you said. You also used the wrong form of "your" in your reply. If someone dialed into Kansas from Virginia, you could trace it back to Virginia. Don't even get me started on AOL bro.. bypassing aol canada using 2.5 sprint.net to make fake lcases since 96, using the fakes to collect 100k+ names to spam, and walking away with thousands of <>< including german guides/hosts. You don't know anything about teh haxorz

Heh, I never do that... damn.

Anyway, back to this. Yes, you could trace it back to Virginia, but not without a warrant. When you go to a website and get the location of the IP, it doesn't give you the location of the client. It gives you the location of the registered subnet.

It's not that it's impossible to gather the information, but that's not what a website like http://www.ip2location.com/ does. It might give you a geophysical location, but it's not your location unless that ip address/subnet is registered to you specifically.

Not legally, without a warrant. Sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't know you needed a warrant to do things on the internet. Grow a pair.
