There are services provided that give you information about specific IP addresses. You can use WHOIS to find who owns the IP and you try services like https://www.iplocation.net/ to ask where the IP might reside geographically. I'm pretty sure all free geolocation services you try with be fairly "rough" and even the commercial ones often makes mistakes. Finally, even if you do get a reasonably certain location for the address, the IP you see might be a proxy, a TOR exit, a VPN or another victim that the attacker is using as a gateway. So not at all the location of the attacker. -- / daniel.haxx.se | Commercial curl support up to 24x7 is available! | Private help, bug fixes, support, ports, new features | https://curl.se/support.html -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/curl-users Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
