The users at hackforums are terribly incompetent. These kids all run their command and control center on their local computer. The RAT has one (or several) free dns name(s) embedded and the user keeps updating those with his home ip to receive connections from them.
How hard would it be to launch an investigation into this ip address once you find it out? Would filing John Doe lawsuit allow you to do discovery on those ip addresses? Does 'an ip address is not a person' prevent you from further investigating who the actual person was?
- skeletonjelly 14y agoIn the linked PDF in the article written by the FBI agent the IP address is used as a piece of evidence in addition to other evidence like emails with addresses and names, so I guess the answer is yes.
- tomjen3 14y agoNot hard at all. Almost certainly. You should be able to get a warrent and these kids will crack when start talking about juvie at that point an ip address isn't a person doesn't really matter because a confession is (mostly) admissible in court.
