DOS-Based Trace Techniques |
|
Traceroute Go to the DOS prompt and type in C:\ tracert (insert the name of the website or ip address here). DOS will resolve the name to the ip address then show you the route that the packets take to reach that destination. Ping Go to the DOS prompt and type in C:\ ping (insert the name of the website or ip address here). DOS will resolve the name to the ip address, ping it, and give you the amount of packet loss, if any. nbtstat Name table lookup to see who is logged into a particular computer at a specific ip address. Conceivably you can determine a person's actual name from this, as most people tend to set up their computers using their real name. Will also give you group, admin, and individual names. But you will need to have the ip address octet AND your target must also be online. Go to the DOS prompt and type in nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (replacing the x's with the ip address). If you get a "host not found" message, they are not online. If they are online, you'll get the NetBIOS Remote Machine Table which may contain a portion of their actual name.
