Question:
How Does He Know What Parts of Websites I Have Been Viewing Solely by Using My IP ADDRESS?
2008-10-27 13:09:14 UTC
There is this guy I know and he only has my ip address, but is able to tell what videos I have been watching within a site or what articles I have been reading on another website. He says he only needs my ip address and he is far from a real hacker.
We are friends so this is nothing mean between us, but I wanna learn how he can search my ip address on a website and find what I have been viewing.
He won't tell me how he does this, and even if he did tell me, he sucks at explaining things, so I wouldn't understand anyways. xD
Anyone know how he does this so I can extract some friendly revenge? ho ho ho lolXD
ps: I don't know anything about hacking, but I do have his ip address. Thank you!!! :D
PS: He knows the names of the websites I visit...including porn sites and it's getting a bit embarrassing so please help but i don't want to hurt his computer cuz he's my best friend!!!

He has installed a keystroke logger program on your machine. He can see where you've been on the Net as well as what your passwords are by now. You MUST reinstall Windows immediately if you want to wipe the program from your machine and have peace of mind that he can not see what you're doing on your machine.



Good luck!.

the only way that I can imagine that he is doing this, is he's a L33T hacker, or you are on the same network. Is he your neighbor? sharing wifi? I cannot imagine he just goes to google and searches for it, or somehow has access to a database of IP addresses that visit websites? Sounds a bit farfeched!



If he is on the same network as you, i'm sure there are programs that will allow you to see what they are doing, I know an illegal one, but I'm not going to share that! So if he is sitting at home, he has to know personally what pages you view to actually view that information!



Or he installed a program on your computer that allows him to view what you are doing from a remote location, i.e. his bedroom and connects to your computer, and he can watch what pages you go to and such!



I hope this helps! If you go to gotomypc.com or something like this, and download the free trial on his computer, and keep the information to yourself, you can connect to his computer, as long as you can set it up on his computer without him knowing about it! Otherwise..... I'd just ban his ip address from your router!

Sounds like either he is the owner of the website your viewing and has some sort of stat counter.



Or he's installed some sort of keylogger or spyware on your pc. Or on the same network

Is he using your computer when he tells you what sites you have been visiting?



Has he ever had access to your computer?
