Question by howdoesitmatter: Someone hacked into my FTP hosting server and deleted all website files. Can I sue this person?
The IP address of the person was traced to the TELUS servers and since the IP address belongs to the company and does not point to an individual’s computer location, I was told that the company as a whole cannot be held liable. Does that mean that anyone can hide behind a company firewall and hack people’s websites? Is there no law which can hold this person liable? If needed, is there a way to track the computer from where this was done?

Why can’t the company be held liable? Their server was used to commit an illegal act. I think you need to talk to a lawyer on this one.

Question by mac l: Is there anyway to see if a person at a specific ip address is using a certain program?
I host games all the time on Warcraft 3 and so far there is nothing out to find if someone is hacking. If there is a way to scan someones ip address to see if they are running a certain program (the hacking program) then i will be able to kick that person before the game starts and save us all some time. Im looking for a program that can do this, or even a command, becuase i can make my own programs. thank you.
What hey use is a third party program that enhances their game play ability by changing what they game does for them while play, example it will show all the players on the map at once, but only for them.

it will not send me any data or “hack” my address in anyway, so those suggestions are not the best.

they use a third party program to do this.

even if i get the code, i will make a program that shows me only that one program being used and thats it, alert me and then i will manually kick that player.

No. That is highly illegal, even if you think they’re hacking.

But what you can do is try to create a program to check the packets they are sending you. Examine what legit packets look like, how often they come in, things of the such. Typically a hacker’s packets coming to you, as the host, will not be par with those of legit players.

Question by KLo: If there are multiple hits from the same IP address, are those all the same person?
I am new to web-hosting and have a neat web analyzer tool. However, I am confused as to why there are multiple “visitors” listed from the same IP address. I thought that was a unique indentifier. Are they the same visitors looking at the site more than once?

Answer by mtnbiker893
No two IP adresses are alike. If you see more than one hit from the same IP adress then it is the same person.

Question by Robi da koryo: Is there any free hosting/blogs service whch shows the IP address of a person who visits it?
1. I don’t want to insert a seperate code for taking IP address (like statcounter.com)

2. Not all free blogs service shows the IP address of the person who visites it (nor even blogger.com)

Answer by subexpression
Hi Robi,

If you have PHP available on your server, the easiest way to grab the IP address is by with PHP’s $ _SERVER superglobal:

$ ip = $ _SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
print $ ip;

That will extract the IP address and print it on the screen. You can take the variable and do whatever you like with it, if you’re not interested in printing it.

Best regards,

Question by Rainmaker: JMail: How to get IP of the person who submit forms on my website?
I am using Jmail for form processing. Hosting is windows.

Everything is working fine. I just need to get IP of the person who visits the form on my website. Is there some line that i should add to the script so that it will also get the IP along with other details?

Best answer:

Answer by just “JR”
1. A pro would NEVER use jmail: he knows better and would do it faster and more efficiently.
2. He would use ” $ _SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] “
