How to find out the ip of a VK user if you are not a hacker or a policeman

Methods that don't work, deception

Let’s immediately debunk false information, because it confuses and distracts from the main thing.

• There are no hidden buttons inside the VKontakte social network, clicking which will show the person’s IP address.
• Online services that offer to enter a user ID to calculate IP are a scam to collect money and steal accounts.
• The “hacker” who offers to hack for 1000 rubles and find out the ip via VK is a petty scammer.
• Other technical tricks are also not worthy of attention: you cannot find out the ip by the page code, through the command line, mobile phone number, avatar or folk signs.

Why don't these methods work? The social network has never displayed the IP address of users anywhere; such information is available only in the backend - the software and hardware part of the service, where VKontakte employees work.
In other words, this is internal information.

I. Date of registration

The social network VK uses its own mechanisms to combat bots and often blocks fake users. Because of this, fake pages rarely “live” for long. If the page you are interested in was registered a few weeks ago or even less, there is a high probability that this page is a fake.

You can check the registration date of the profile you are interested in directly on our website, just enter the link to the person’s page:

I don't know the address of the right person's page. How can I find this link?

Calculating the IP of a VKontakte user, working methods

Loggers

The only sure way to calculate an IP is to force the user to leave My page and go to the IP address finder. Submit a link to a decoy online service.

Step-by-step algorithm:

1) find the ip trap

2) convert the address into short links using shorteners (optional step)

3) send the link to the contact user via private message.

Protocol determination services 2ip.ru, 2ip.ua, whoer.net, whatleaks.com will show the address only to the visitor, the result is not stored. Use trap loggers:

• iplogger.ru
• ru.itsip.info/spy
• speed-tester.info/check_another_ip.php
• any others or create your own

The IP of the VKontakte site does not match the IP address of the users; they are not the same thing.

Social engineering

Think about it, have the user provide the IP himself. Introduce yourself as technical support, provider, Internet lottery. Complex method.

Methods for finding a person's location by ID

To find out information about a person by page ID on the VKontakte website, use special services and a mobile application.

Services

You can find out the user's location if you use special services: Whois and IPLogger. This can be done free of charge. The Whois service provides accurate information. With its help, you will find out the city of residence of the owner ID and the street, but with a small error. As for IPLogger, you need to automatically generate a link so that the user clicks on it. You need to send him a message or leave a comment on the wall in the form of a trap link.

Mobile app

If you know the ID of the desired page, then use the Kate Mobile application to search for information about its owner. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

Turn on the application, and then using the main menu, you need to open the section at the top of the panel and click on the icon in the form of horizontal dots. If you see Kate Mobile at the top, then you opened it correctly.

• In the list of sections, click on the “Open link” column.
• A field will appear requiring you to insert the ID of the user you are looking for.
• Now click on the “OK” button to open the page of the desired person.
• You will see all the data specified in the ID owner's profile.

To find out detailed information about the user, open the “Interests” section. Study the sections of your account and learn a lot of useful information.

What does an IP address do?

Nothing useful. The city in which the person is located, country, name of Internet provider, operating system, browser. When using an anonymizer or VPN, the information will be incorrect. Using IP you cannot hack your profile or find out your home address or phone number. But you can scare the offender! Find out the bully's IP and threaten him with problems.

If the situation is worse, there is blackmail, threats, immediately go to the police!

Now many people are imprisoned for liking and reposting, the authorities know every step of VKontakte users and will easily punish the blackmailer.

What information can you find out on VK?

To find out what information about a person can be collected from a link about a VK page, just remember the main sections and tools of this social network.

1. Last name and first name. Girls like to keep their maiden name too;
2. Family status;
3. City and country of residence;
4. Places of study, work, recreation;
5. Mobile phone, link to personal website, other social networks;
6. Photos;
7. Hobbies and interests of a person;
8. Information about trips, meetings, travel;
9. The people he is friends with;
10. His musical preferences;
11. etc., depends on your attentiveness.

Moreover, some naively think that if they close VK pages with privacy settings, no one will be able to find out complete information about them. Ha, we beg you! Yes, there are many ways to circumvent even the most global ban - a closed profile. From hacking, to friend requests from fraudulent accounts or contacting mutual friends and acquaintances.

Decided not to indicate your city of residence? But the list of groups includes 20 local public pages of the city of Yekaterinburg. Among them are several communities of the medical academy, and on the avatar there is a photo of a pretty nurse in a white coat. A very private girl, isn't she? Let's go further and open the photo albums. Wow, summer photos with the Moscow Kremlin in the background. Then my dear Krasnodar region. And, in almost every photo in a swimsuit, a certain Vitalya Smirnov is noted, what a coincidence, also from Yekaterinburg. Let's go to his profile. And there is our nurse on all 4 images of the start page.

What information can be found from the account of this “closed” girl? At a minimum, where she lives, studies, where she went and who she meets, and this is just a quick glance at the page!

How to find out the guests of my page

To do this, you do not need to know the IP of the visitors. Get over 100 subscribers, and a guest statistics button will appear under your avatar.

Inside your account, upload the data into Excel and guess by city, age, gender which of your friends visited your VKontakte page. The city in the table corresponds to the “city” field on the user page.

How to detect a fake page without services and programs?

If the page is real, then there should definitely be some photos, posts, comments from friends and much more on it. Fraudsters can easily copy the information, but they won't post it for years. Therefore, go to the albums and the wall to see the date of photos and posts.

If you find several pages with the same photos, the easiest way to find out who is fake and who is a real person is to look at the date the photo was uploaded. Whoever had it later copied them.

On fake pages, all dates are usually the same. Pre-loaded photos are posted in an instant. Every person has friends and relatives who write comments, like posts, and so on. Pay attention to this, and at the same time look at the pages of all these users, they should also look natural:

Alternatively, check to see if there are photos where other users have been tagged. This proves that the friends of the page contain real people. The same thing is tracked through comments.

A fake can be identified from a photo

The best way to determine whether this is a real page or whether the photos were stolen is to find similar pictures. Search engines have a special tool that allows you to find where else the same images were posted. Using this, it is easy to find other pages of the same person . To make it easier for you, we decided to show with an example how to identify a fake VKontakte from a photo:

1. For example, we found an obvious fake page (by all factors), we need to get a link to the image:



2. Now let's move on to the tool for searching similar images via Google:



3. There will be a camera icon in the search bar, you need to click on it:



4. A form will open where you can upload the original image or simply provide a link to it. In the first step, we received it, insert it into the form and proceed to the search:



5. Let us remind you that on the fake page of an attractive girl it was indicated that she was Olga Komarovskaya. With the help of a search, we managed to find out what her real name is:

It often happens that popular photographs are copied repeatedly. In this case, several dozen pages will be presented in the search results. Look through each of them, the difference between a fake and a real person will be obvious. At a minimum, you can compare the creation dates of the pages and find out which one appeared earlier.

Why doesn’t VKontakte allow you to see visitors?

Some may have a question about the impossibility of viewing page guests officially, since other social networks, such as Odnoklassniki, do not hide this information.

The answer is simple: one of the most popular features of VKontakte is maintaining user privacy, and that is why this social network attracts so many people. Developers have been especially thinking about this in recent years: an example could be adding the functionality of a private profile or the ability to hide all your actions, including likes and comments, from people on your friends list. You can hide any other information from prying eyes - from photos to music. Therefore, information about people visiting the VK user page is also closed.

Who needs this and why?

People are interested in knowing who exactly is interested in their lives - this is the key reason. Those who need to satisfy their interest or their own suspicions want to know the visitors of their VK page: for example, girls often check whether their friends or boyfriend (possibly an ex) visit their page. In addition to banal curiosity, this may be a mandatory procedure for any store, blogger or any other page for which the target audience or customers are important. This way you can find out your audience and their interest in the product. Of course, there are other reasons, but these are the most common.
