What can they find out from your IP Address?

Easy, just go to
https//www.iprive.com/analyze

That's a bunch of crap they can find out. Think about what would happen if Gratis records the ip address.

If the link doesn't work just go to www.iprive.com/analyze

haha opera was like no.

The majority of websites you visit collect the same information. Its fairly common.

my websites do.
i can look at charts and graphs to see where to nuke or not nuke respectively if i wanted to kill visitors or not.

None of this information comes from your ip address, it is sent by your browser. It can be recorded at any website you visit, and is by a lot of sites. There is nothing wrong with it.

What the shit does this have to do with getting my free iPod.

This thing says I live in a city that is like two hours from where I actually live.

everyone clicking the link above should show http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=1007 as a referring page, not "none." I'm not using a proxy either..

and Gratis DOES record your IP address.

Every website by default collects IP addresses. It's the default setting in every major web server, Netcape Enterprise, Apache, IIS all do.

The rest of the information is by the browser whenever it retrieves a page. It sends things like browser UA, content type's it can accept, etc. etc.

Standard stuff. It's been part of the net since very early on.

with a regular site trying to figure out an ip address, you can't find much.. just the internet provider...

but '[i89a46c0135]if[/i89a46c0135] you have a program or something to get more info than just a provider, you can find ALOT. where the person lives (not their address persay) but what state they live in, internet provider and ETC.

so becareful u people who are considering cheating...)

eh, that's what I meant though. That's what they can find out from your IP Addy. So if you have all your referrals from the same addy most likely you'll be on hold...

Blah ... I thought this was common knowledge.... heh.

Not quite...

There's lots of variables. A log file contains 2 things;

1. IP address
2. Browser/UserAgent
3. Referer

Can get a few things here

1. IP can tell you
- ISP
- Unique user (sometimes... .dependsurl==http://=http:///url if a proxy exists, NAT router, etc. etc>)
- Location (often wrong.. for example, most AOL users are virginia, AOL NOC HQ, not their hometown)... nobody really depends on this to be accurate to more than the country, and even that is only about 95% accurate.

2. Browser/UserAgent
- Browser
- Browser Version
- OS
- OS revision
- Language Encoding

3. Referer
- Page which brought you to current page

There's also the ability to Use JS detection.
- Screen Resolution
- JS enabled/disabled
- Plugins Installed/Enabled


That's really about it.

Again, every website you've ever visited records and analyzes this data. I've spent countless hours doing it, and even modifying my own software for the task.

reminds me of those lame banner ads saying "your ip address is open to the world. buy our software to protect your privacy"

they know where you live...

Yeah all that other junk you mentioned too. Depends on how specific someone is trying to go for to find all that info. But most likely, only big comapnies will find all that out... if you have your own website/homepage, you can have access to all that stuff too.

99.9% of the time it's agregated.

Pretty much all webmasters don't have the time to look at individuals ;). They look at totals to learn about the audience as a whole.
