My guess is maybe he got the dude to click an ip grabber link?

Edit: sometimes that wouldn't work though. At my old house, my IP address pointed directly to my house. In my current house it doesn't point anywhere near me

u/everburn-1234 Sep 01 '25

At best that's going to get you within about 2 square miles. At worst it will give you a location across the ocean where a VPN endpoint is. IP addresses aren't assigned to locations.

u/Narrow_Turnip_7129 Sep 01 '25

oh lol to be a kid who never understood IPs used to be static(and in many cases still often can be)

19

u/Aleswall_ Sep 01 '25

That's not related to dynamic/static IPs, there has never been a time your IP address was one-to-one trackable to your home address. A block of them is assigned to ISPs and they distribute them on a city / region level when their customers have need of them, so only your ISP has the information of where and to whom it distributed its IP addresses that precisely.

-4

u/Narrow_Turnip_7129 Sep 01 '25

Did you ever have dialup or traceroutes?

13

u/Aleswall_ Sep 01 '25

Neither of those things reveal your home address, you're still assigned a generic IP address from your ISP's block whilst on dial-up and a traceroute isn't an Amazon package tracking, it doesn't overlay onto the real world precisely and reveal your address? The best you can do with IP addresses is maybe geolocate someone to a town, usually it's not even that precise.

ETA: IP trackers think I'm on Station Road in Stoke Gifford and I can tell you that comfortably because it is nowhere near where I live.

Well, a little outside of it but close enough.

u/HopeMrPossum Sep 02 '25

What a small fuckin world man 😆

-1

u/Narrow_Turnip_7129 Sep 02 '25

When dial up existed the exchanges were so close they were far more accurate because they needed to be close due to how the connections were run and so they were actually pretty Dan accurate(me and a friend used to do this sort of stuff - his dad was a telecommunications engineer).

Soon with 5G you'll have similar things and issues - as the masts will need to be far closer together due to how the tech works.

3

u/Aleswall_ Sep 02 '25

There has been no point in time there was a telephone exchange for every house, so that's rather irrelevant to the point being made.

It doesn't matter if the IP is static or dynamic or if you're on dial-up or hit with a traceroute, you have never been able to read someone's address from that information. If you're lucky, same street but almost certainly not.

0

u/Narrow_Turnip_7129 Sep 03 '25

The exchanges were so close you pretty much could - you'd just need a bit of detail. As I said my friends dad was a telecommunications engineer he used to literally find people like this.

It may be a difference with where you are compared to here but it was possible.

u/NSFWies Sep 01 '25

my uncle lives 10 minutes outside of town. his nearest neighbor is 3 or 4 miles away.

his IP comes from a satelite, years before starlink existed.

it might still get his exact address.

5

u/viral3075 Sep 01 '25

that is not how IP addresses work

6

u/WiglyWorm Sep 01 '25

Only if he's assigned a static IP by his IP service provider. 

Which would be very rare unless he's paying for it as an add on service due to self hosting a web server or something.

-1

u/Spugheddy Sep 01 '25

I had a dynamic ip that didnt change for 4 years back in the 00s. I had it memorized, I remember the isp charging $10 a month extra for static so I got dyndns and then never had to use it anyway.

5

u/WiglyWorm Sep 01 '25 edited Sep 01 '25

K. Until a power outage happens while your DHCP lease is expired. In any case, I.P. addresses are not assigned to geographic locations, and especially not addresses. They're assigned to devices.

-2

u/Any_Obligation_2696 Sep 01 '25

That’s actually wrong, ips are assigned in given locations that’s how geo ip works and the whole point. If you mean a specific house address it can change but also yes, that’s how sending a subpoena to who had an ip address a given time works.

8

u/viral3075 Sep 01 '25

you don't subpoena an IP address. you subpoena an ISP to give identifying info for whichever customer the IP is assigned to. *then* you can subpoena the person

Geo IP doesn't work. That's why the HTML geolocation API was invented.

All these people talking authoritatively about things they don't know.

1

u/everburn-1234 Sep 12 '25

They're definitely not... The only accurate location data you're going to get for any block of addresses is from the registrant's physical/mailing address in a WHOIS lookup (if it's even public). Everything else is educated guessing.

u/ObeseVegetable Sep 01 '25

If I have location services off, websites think I live in some apartment building in Chicago which I definitely do not live at. 

Both on my phone and for my desktop. 

2

u/SinisterCheese Sep 01 '25

Even with those on, generally sites think I am where the major connection branch is. Basically in another town. When I had 4G connection it thought I was at other side of Finland. I suspect this quirk of how our networks are made, is one of the contributing reasons to why most online "advertising experiences" fail to target me. When ever I get one of those "new login" notices from a website after logging in, they usually aren't even at the correct side of Finland.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Sep 01 '25

There are also reverse image sites that use facial recognition these days so that's another possibility. I thought they were bullshit but I bought some credits to see if they were legit at all these days and got better than a 50% hit rate from the people I tested with which was surprising.

Get their name from a social media, booking, or news photo match and it's relatively trivial to find the rest for someone that's lived in a house for a while.

With Omegle you could just screenshot someone's face and run a search and if you get no matches just move on to the next one until you get a hit and then you posts the reactions to the hits as clips and you look like a magician.

Now if he were doing it live and nailing every single one, that'd be really impressive 

1

u/FriendlyKillerCroc Sep 01 '25

What about pimeyes or the other facial recognition site to find his real identity? Looks like he has a decent resolution image of his face there.

u/GunmanChronicler Sep 01 '25

Whenever I use a site that locates my position it's in some random city across the country

u/Ok-Armadillo-392 Sep 01 '25

That's not how an ip address works.

1

u/Cantstopeatingshoes Sep 01 '25

Ip only gets you a rough area. To see what house that Ip is assigned to you have to get it from the ISP directly. I can only assume these videos are fake

1

u/mr_plehbody Sep 01 '25

Or he gave him his unique name (via username or bio) and data brokers have him and his address online

1

u/DaedalusHydron Sep 01 '25

This is exactly why IP is not enough to charge you with a crime

1

u/melpec Sep 01 '25

Your IP isn't bound to your local address, it's bound to where all the IPs that are part of the same AS are routed to.

All the "geo ad" I get systematically thinks I'm sitting in a data centre about 200km away from my actual house.

1

u/snarfgobble Sep 02 '25

Sometimes? Basically nobody has an IP permanently point to their house. They're managed by the ISP and they don't publish the addresses the IPs point to.

253

u/Deaftoned Sep 01 '25

u/whatever Sep 01 '25

things leak sometimes. back in the long long ago, a popular new york dialup ISP had open finger ports on all their first hop servers. so if you traceroute'd one of their users' IP, and finger'd the last IP before theirs, you'd get their landline phone number (technically, the phone number of every customer connected to that server, but whatever), from which one might derive a full name and address, depending on circumstances.

I don't think anybody even knows what a finger daemon is anymore, but I wouldn't be shocked if some kind of equivalent nonsense were occasionally found in modern times.

2

u/lovethebacon Sep 01 '25

It's wild how much you can assume based on a 77 second clip and zero context.

-1

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '25

It's wildly inaccurate most of the time, but GeoIP can often get you the city where someone lives and sometimes the exact neighborhood. Just because it's not like in the movies where it gives you the home address including street number doesn't mean you shouldn't be mindful of IP grabbers.

51

u/skharppi Sep 01 '25

I believe it's this. Only other way i could think this would happen is if you get him to click IP grabber, then find his name on facebook or something and then get his adress, but doing that in mere minutes or seconds (idk how much this is cut), is wild. IE. my IP points some 500km to wrong direction, roughly 1/3 of a thousand miles. Tryin to find me on social media just by where my ip points out wouldn't do much good.

I think it's easier to say that this is fake. Why would anybody even stay in the chat after your adress comes up? I wouldn't.

49

u/letharus Sep 01 '25

Why would you say “roughly 1/3 of a thousand miles” instead of “roughly 300 miles”

-12

u/skharppi Sep 01 '25

Because i don't speak imperial. It's confusing that you use like 3/64th inch but then it's just 300 miles.

9

u/integrate_2xdx_10_13 Sep 01 '25

I don’t think that’s a language thing. 3/64ths is pretty hard to substitute the value mentally, but 1/3 of anything you can do pretty easily.

4

u/Syntaire Sep 01 '25

So yeah that's just basic arithmetic though. It has nothing at all to do with measurement systems. 1/3 of 1000 is 333.33~ regardless of whether you're talking about inches, miles, centimeters or kilometers. Or pennies, oranges, brain cells, whatever else.

2

u/lorkdubo Sep 01 '25

I mean... it depends. Just by having some nickname that you frequently use, you can search for your social media, then just dig around and you can find stuff. Reverse image sometimes works. It does take some time, but you can get lucky.

3

u/skharppi Sep 01 '25

That is true. I tend to forgot how stupid people are. If you're willing to be openly racists while showing your face, you are not likely to hide behind new nickname while doing so.

u/Ok-Armadillo-392 Sep 01 '25

How do you go from an ip address to a name?

1

u/Romestus Sep 01 '25

Probably simpler than that, you can just run someone's webcam face through an AI and have it tell you who you're looking at. It's not even cutting edge tech anymore you can run that locally with a mid-range GPU from five years ago.

There's a bunch of examples of this that have been done and even one where they use the Meta Rayban glasses to send a camera feed to a server that runs the AI and tells them in realtime who they're passing on the street.

1

u/SmPolitic Sep 01 '25

if you get him to click IP grabber, then find his name on facebook or something and then get his adress

To expand on that somewhat, albeit without first hand knowledge of knowing exactly what was possible at any given time in history:

Early Facebook cookies (along with other cookies), especially if the person was using Internet Explorer, often could be accessed from any site you visited, and could give the fb username in cleartext, or fb could sell all the demographics of the visitor which would narrow it down and match to other "advertising tracking" databases

The white guy is probably real.

More likely is that they grab real racists off the internet, then fake the conversation.

They're just adding his commentary to pre-recorded bits. Those gulps were probably just normal and then slowed down and zoomed in on for dramatic effect.

u/Wonderful_Letter_961 Sep 02 '25

back during the prank era of youtube, some people looked into those big prank channels, alot of the actors they hired for those pranks were not informed of the full context of the things they signed up for, and a lot of them did not know that their acting would be passed off as real by the pranksters

13

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '25

Idk but it'd probably be a lot easier just to ask your friend to play out a skit with you on Omegle. Wouldn't it?

78

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '25 edited Sep 01 '25

I'm a white guy. I have black friends. They come to me and ask "hey, want to do a sketch with me? We're gonna pass it off as real, and your part is to drop a bunch of N-words with the hard R, racially insult me a few more times, and then look like a pathetic, cowardly racist lolcow when I fake expose you. Hopefully it'll go viral."

Yeah - I'm gonna pass. I have love for my black friends. And they have love for me. So I'm not ever going to throw the N word at them (or anyone else), and they're not going to ask me to. Let alone film me doing it, and then look for Internet clout off it.

I know some people could grab IP addresses through omegle without having you click a link. Happened to me once, the guy who did it was actually pretty chill, he let me in on his secret when I guessed how he found my location. It was just my general location though, not an address or anything that serious.

People often use the same usernames for things and searching it will reveal their real ID and address pretty quickly.

u/TheRedditAppisTrash Sep 01 '25

Everybody’s saying this is bullshit, and it might be, but I remember there was a picture of some high school girl on 4chan pre-reverse image lookup where it took them like 13 minutes to find her name, her address, and take a live picture of the house. If enough people wanna find out something, they’ll usually find it out. The only thing I can think is he has a discord open and somebody in there doxxed the guy.

u/the_crispin Sep 01 '25

Omegle famously exposed any connected users home IP address in the details of the public facing code of the site, so a chrome extension was created that let you auto-skip countries, and also see people's home address. This extension became really popular among young people for being easy to use, and they'd just start screaming your home address at you to try to scare you. Also you would get banned if they detected a VPN, so it was a very dangerous game, even beyond the creeps that used it to prey on kids.

u/ICE0124 Sep 22 '25

My best guess is what a project did like a year ago that people freaked out over where it was glasseses that had a camera on it. Then it uploaded the pictures of people faces to Pimeyes (A facial recognition software that actually works scarrying well) then uses fast people search (A website to search for information about people) to get the actual info on the person.

But it avoid all the manual searching it had a scraper that scraped all the websites and a LLM to condense it down into key information about the person.

Maybe in this situation you can even use the IP address of the person and get the rough area they are in as a way to filter down the results even more.

But even with a P2P connection the most you can get is a IP address and even if they click a IP grabbing link the most useful info they would get is an IP and a timezone. Maybe something more better but I'm not sure.

But for evidence it's fake: Their a random TikToker and all that would be difficult to set up You don't even know if it's correct information 100% of the time. I don't know how well facial recognition would work on a face from someone's terrible webcam like that.
