Hi list, I was wondering to have any clue on this. While having a chat session with somebody in yahoo messenger, how is it possible to obtain his/her Private IP address if that person is behind a Router and/or a Firewall (NATed)?
not without the person giving it to you.. i.e. I know of no way to obtain that information without getting it directly from the user.
Moreover, Is there any way that he/she can hide successfully (behind the NAT or something else)so that NO internal IP address is revealed?
as far as I know, that is already the case-- as a user you have no way of getting ip address information, especially the private side. of course it prolly depends on the protocol and the implementer of the service.
Thanks. Warm regards.
hope that helps a little regards, -- Jeff MacDonald, Zoid Technologies <http://zoidtechnologies.com/>
