IP geolocation is not anywhere near precise enough to get you an address. It can give you a best-guess as to what city you are in (and even that is a guess), but not much better. If you aim to swat someone and you only know the IP you would contact the police who would contact the ISP to get your address connected to the internet subscription.
- zitterbewegung 4y agoYea, I should have probably indicated that you have to do a bit more of open source intelligence to get people's locations.
- SahAssar 4y agoIn this case what do you mean by "open source intelligence"? Like what would your actual steps be to go from my IP to actually knowing my name/address? A whois lookup would get you the ISP, a maxmind lookup would get you a guess at a city, but besides that what can you do?
- zitterbewegung 4y agoPossibly using the name on a personal website then looking them up on a social networking website and then they have an address.
