Unfortunately, one persons demize is another persons fortune. It's sick but it's a fact of life. I'm a customer of Anonymizer.com and I can't tell you how many times this program has saved me. Just to feel secure surfing again is quite cool. I highly recommend this software to everybody. Nobody is going to record my IP, Name, passcodes again.

Lets track these web sites.

Why can't we just track these website down. These web sites has to lead some where and it has to be associated with a name of some kind. From an IT stand point, the Website has an IP address. That IP address has to belong to someone on the net. It doesn't matter where it goes or what it does. Information has to go some where. The question is where is it ending up. There should even be overrides for .PHP pages to track where the information going to as well.

Once I tracked an IP address to a server called Roadrunner.com. Once I got to the site, I tried to find an attacker. I forgot the name of the attacker but the address stopped at Roadrunner.com with a specific IP address. I was hoping from roadrunner stand point they can track all the data running through there system and see if they can find a particular hacker comming from 2 specific IP ports and continue tracking back to the source of the hacker. However, I sent them all my McAffee logs to the company for several days but they could not even track it.

In conclusion, when some logon to the net a Dynamic IP address is created. Then it travels out to the router through a modem of some kind and to there ISP before heading out to the rest of the world. At the ISP, I am hoping they can see internet traffic, information, and more. However, mostly looking for viruses and hacking attempts.
I guest this would be something hard to do but it would be nice for some of us to really start working on.
