Identifying IP Addresses of Internet Trolls

Overview of Identifying IP Addresses of Internet Trolls

Internet trolls disrupt online communities by provoking emotional reactions and targeting individuals with harassment or threats. Although techniques like VPNs and proxies can mask IP addresses, our investigators use various methods to uncover the identities of these harassers.

We employ tracing techniques, utilizing network analysis tools and examining metadata to track online activities. Collaborating with internet service providers (ISPs) may also be essential in identifying the source of harassing messages.

Additionally, we gather user data beyond IP addresses to create a profile of the troll. This includes analyzing social media profiles, communication patterns, and other publicly accessible information.

We prioritize thorough documentation of our findings, which can serve as crucial evidence for law enforcement, online platforms, or attorneys in taking action against the troll.
