How to find IP address of the email sender – using header?

In this post i will show you How to find the IP address of the sender in Gmail, Yahoo! mail or Hotmail. When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender. Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.

What is email Header?

Every message contains a series of header lines that instruct mail servers where to deliver it, tell mail readers how to process its content, and provide a record of the path taken by the message from its source to its destination. Message headers fall into five classes. The basic addressing information is contained in the From and To lines, and information about the content is contained in the Subject line and those that begin with Content. The path taken from the sender through to delivery is recorded in the Received lines, and the unique identity of this message is captured in the Date and Message-ID lines. Ancillary information that might be useful for the email client is usually found in headers that begin with X-. The specific headers can vary widely according to the email client that was used to create the messages.

Trace Facebook user account using Facebook’s Notification email header – Finding IP address of friend

Is your ex-Boyfriend abusing you on Facebook? and you are pretty much not sure whether its him or not? If yes then this post is of real use for you. here i will show you how you can Find the IP address of your friend using Facebook’s Notification email header. ever noticed that whenever any friend of yours comments on your photo or sends you message, you also get notified via email from Facebook and this email will help us to identify or trace your friend.

Guys If you’re going to send messages from a fake Facebook account to fool or abuse your friends, there is 100% chances that you will get caught and even Proxies will not work here. Because Facebook is using client side scripts, as scripts execute on the users computer they have the ability to gather the IP directly from the TCP/IP stack before encoding it and passing it on as a payload using POST or GET.

Remember we have already seen how you can find IP address of any facebook user while on Chat and for that the user had to be online. so In this post i have come up with much simple method to get IP of your friend. There are lot of rumors that Facebook keeps the IPs of the users in their system. and i too believed the same until today, i found out this new method for looking out IP of Facebook user. For your knowledge, every email on the Internet has to have headers per RFC standards, and they’re added by the servers handling the email. The email client on the receiving end may omit these headers, but they will be there regardless. The Good part about this is when you receive Notification email from facebook saying for example:

"{Facebook user} sent you a message on Facebook." OR " {Facebook user} commented on a photo of you on Facebook"

Along with Facebook’s Server IP, They also include the IP address of the ‘Facebook user’ in the Header of the email. So why not we use this Bug? ofcourse you will need to enable ‘Full header’ in the email. If you don’t know how to view header of the email please read our previous post : 

What is header, How to find the IP address of the email sender using header?

I assume that you have the header opened. just look for the line that says “X-Facebook” in the headers. Here’s an example:

X-Facebook: from zuckmail ([MTI3LjkAuMC4x]) by www.facebook.com with HTTP (ZuckMail);

The IP address above is Base64 encoded and Yes “MTI3LjkAuMC4x” is the String that you got to decode. Now grab a good Base64 to ASCII text Converter and decode the string to get the IP address. After decoding “MTI3LjkAuMC4x” will become 58.14.74.09. isn’t it so simple?.
Worried about your Privacy?

If you are worried about your Privacy than it’s worth telling you that knowing an IP address isn’t necessarily a security risk. For example, Web sites and other servers must have their IP address publicized in order to get traffic. It’s like knowing the mailing address to a house: Sure, it’s better if someone doesn’t know where your house is, but if they do, they would still need to bypass the home security to break in. eventually IP address is enough for a hacker to break into your network if your Firewall is weak. so better be careful. May be facebook should use encryption instead of encoding for privacy purpose….but who cares?

Now that you have the IP, What next?

Now that you already have the IP address you can do lot of things. if you know some hacking, you would probably test you skills on that IP address. If it’s serious issue i would recommend take the IP address and go file FIR against that person. or you can always lookup more information about that IP. To do so we will be using IP tracer service. Go to the below address and paste the IP address in the box that says “lookup this ip or website”. and it will show you the location of the user.

http://www.ip-adress.com/ipaddresstolocation/

It will show you all the information about that user along with his ISP and a Location in the MAP. Now in the MAP Just click on “click for big ip address location” in the big picture you can actually zoom in. and try to recognize the area. If any serious matter just note down the ISP details in that page and contact them about the IP. they will respond you.

How to convert your Facebook Profile into a Facebook Page 2015

Facebook will now allow you to change your “profile” into a page!
As you may know, Facebook “profiles” are for individual people. “Pages” are for businesses and organizations.

Having a profile for anything other than an individual person is a violation of Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. If you don’t convert your profile to a Page, you risk permanently losing access to the profile and all of your content. This means they can delete your profile, at any time, without warning, for being in violation–even if you aren’t doing anything “wrong.” It happened to a  rescue in Oklahoma just last month.

But NOW, if you accidentally set up your Facebook presence as a “profile,” you can switch it over easily, AND all your “friends” will automatically become “fans”!! Pretty exciting.
So, here is what you need to know, because (as with all things Facebook) it’s definitely possible to mess this up!

What will transfer over?

Right now, ALL your friends will become fans, and it will keep your same profile picture. That’s IT. So if you have notes, photos, videos, etc. it will NOT copy those over–UNLESS you do a couple extra steps, which I’m going to outline for you below.

Is it permanent? Can you switch back?
Yes, it’s permanent. No, you can’t switch back.

So how do you do it?
If you have extra content on your profile, like notes and other photos (besides your profile photo), you can easily download this to your computer, and then re-upload it once you convert your profile to a page. So you have to save this information first. If you just recently created your profile, you don’t need to worry about this.

To do this,  follow these steps:

1. Click on Account Settings (upper right corner).
2. Click on “learn more” next to “Download Your Information.”
3. Click on “Download.”
4. They will send you an email with a link to download the file when it’s ready.
