I don't want to sound paranoid but I have a question. How easy would it be for someone to track someone down from this forum? I really rather suck with computers so I was hoping a computer wiz could help me out on this...
Thnx

Send email?
If i were to email you, i could track the email, check out your email address. Also i can see all the things you are using your email address for, all the other sites you've signed up to using your email address. I could gain access to your IP from there, bombard you with random spyware and hacker attacks. If you have EVER put your real name, home address, phone number anywhere on the web, i coul find this using IP and email. I could track you down to your house!
Scary stuff huh. Good job i ain't a hacker.

Theres another way but this way is how the cops track you down. They contact the forum admin then the forum admin gives ip address then they find out which internet company ip address after they found out which ip address the internet company then the cops ask who used this ip at this time then the internet company gives the cops the address your name etc. Then the cops come to your house and knock on your door or kick it down.To prevent the cops getting you just give a fake address to the internet company.(it will not100% work it just delay them finding out where you are) they can find you out if you have cable the find out which cable has the ip if you have adsl pretty much the same thing dial they can probably find you where you are dialing from.But i don't think the cops will get this much trouble just to do this it will take lots of warrants,negotiating etc it just takes too long.
Theres lots of ways if you put your real name (just the name) on the web you can actually find out there location umm its called *cough* whitepages.
Pretty much all you need is the ip to actually find out its location.
To protect you from getting track down get a proxy server thats how hacker don't get tracked down easy because they hack into another person computer and frame the hacked computer and control the computer and make the computer do all there dirty work.When the cops come knocking it won't be the hacker.
WHen you get the ip you can do a i think its called whois and you can get there internet service location that would narrow your search on the person down.But overall doing all this will require a lot OF TIME and you probably won't bother doing it unless you desperately need to find out the person.
I guess thats cover it all i think they might be other methods?

Thanks for the info..........it's not very comforting though

If you don't ant anyoe to know your info just don't put it in your profile so the guy like up there ^ won't know. Just don't put your e-mail b-day or location. 
unfortunately, you use your email to sign up to the account. it isn't hard to find out what it is, even for an amatuer. if they want to track you, they can from the very second you log into the internet.
The only thing you would find out is e-mail right? As long as you didn't put your age/location suff like that.
I said I come from Zumbobwa 
using a persons email you can track them right to their front door.
They could be watching you right now Jenk...Be carefull !
nice jeans, jenk.
@ BurnSideWhat was that noise outside Jenk ?
I'd like to see someone come try to track me down. They will be in for a suprise.......... I'll call the cops! HAHA 
probably the most logical post i've heard all day D12, lol
*backs into corner and slides down the wall. Starts to rock back and forth clutching his beebee gun* Ya I know beebee's suck but it will hurt like hell if I get you in the eye!
If ya want a real scary experience, try running your name through yahoo search engine. Anywhere ya have posted with that screen name comes up.
Scoot over Jenk, I'll get my wrist rocket.

Some of you seems a bit paranoid ok to make it a hard time for someone to track you down
*get a proxy server
*Do not give your real name address etc under any circumstances on the internet
*don't use the email address that your internet company provided you use some free mail services.
*Give a fake address phone number etc when your signing up with an internet company.
*Common sense

*When registering into another forum try changing your username(this deter internet stalker and with that yahoo search engine you can't get tracked down easily on which forum you go to.)
Heres some scary stuff also your detail are readily available on the internet.I think theres a service on the internet that you pay like a monthly fee and type in the persons name and you can find out there history like
*what job they have
*criminal record
*how much money they owe etc
the reason these information get on the internet is because government computers get hacked and details leaked
(THIS IS A SCARY ONE)some buisnesses sell your details to someone else so they could make $$$ thats why be careful on the details you give.
