Hey folks, I've been charged with the job of finding out who's been screwing around with the download counts on our site. So now I have this huge list of IP's that I supposed to match to such and such developer.
I was told by one guy that I should just do a traceroute and that'd tell me where the IP came from. I had another sys. admin guy tell me that all I need to do is a whois on the IP address and I'd be able to get the developers name, etc.
Neither of these options has worked the way I was told. I'll do a traceroute on one IP and get some server in South Dakota or Minnesota but the developer is based in Russia. Or, I'll do a whois on an IP that should be developer XYZ and get godaddy.net as the registrar, referral URL, etc.
How can I put in an IP address and find out exactally who's computer that is and where it is?
