You can trace an IP address back to the source, but you generally need a subpoena to get the name and address of the account holder.

Why?

I've heard there are apps for that, and other online programs, but couldn't tell you the validity of it, sorry.

"Finger" used to tell you all kinds of things from an e-mail address. But those days are long gone. I'm not sure you can find the name and address from someone's e-mail. Even if they have their own domain, they may have an organisation register for them, like collarme does. I think you're simply SOL.

it's possible. For example if there are records out there that also have your email address linked to it you could find someone's home address.

For example if you have a yahoo email address and you filled out your entire yahoo profile with all your info...name, phone, address, etc...and you have your profile set to public, anyone could look you up and get your info.

If you have your facebook set to public and you have your email address in there alone with all your other info all someone has to do is google your email address and it would come up with a link to facebook.

And then there are places like spokeo.com where if you have public records out there with your email linked to it someone could just pop in your email address and trace it back to you.

So yeah...very very possible.

Thank goodness Spokeo has changed and doesn't share half of what they used to without a user having to pay for it. Even so, I've had my info from Spokeo removed.

It can with the right programs, or linx based programs. If you did something illegal and trying not to get caught well good luck hiding.

lol! it can't if you have the right programs working for you. hiding is fucking easy, trust me. look, if the person knows what the fuck they are doing, it is going to take the authorities years to find them, and you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of doing so.

I put my email into spokeo and all it came up with is the music I listen to on pandora. And half of that actually belongs to one of the kids. So if someone put my email into it and accused me of being fond of Rihanna, I would be able to tell them they were wrong.

If it is an ISP email, yes, with a warrant. If it is a web-based email, no, unless you added your address to the email's profile and set it to public.

With a good bit of social manipulation, a hack on the email's password, and a blabber mouth in your contact list, it is also possible.

For the normal Joe Schmoe, not really likely.

There are ways to increase the layers of protection around your anonymity. Things like short use email addresses, SSL connections, gpg key encrypted emails... True anonymity is hard, but not impossible.

One of the recent threats to internet privacy (if you're unaware) is photos taken by devices with a GPS built in (like the iPhone). By default a lot of these devices append the coordinates of where the photo was taken (geotagging).

Post on of these photos to someone and it can be ridiculously easy to find out where you are (or at least were when the photo was taken).

Is that what he meant?? Geesh, I was thinking it might be some obscure router or a network mapper that I had not heard of.

OP..

It really depends on who you've pissed off.

If it's mossad, for example, I'd check under your doormat right now as the chances are that one of the sneaky fuckers is already there.... waiting.

Then it depends on how careful you were about remaining anonymous in the first place. If you've signed up left right and center with the same email address you'll have left a long old trail.

Tell ya what... what's the email addy we're talking about?

[ED to add... the mossad stuff was sarcasm....]

Yes it could, but it can also be hidden with a bit of finesse...

Sometimes, but directly being traceable is unlikely. Chances are though you don't need direct tracing.
