How to trace accused from IP address
An Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) is the starting point for not only initiating communications across the Internet but also to trace back the same to a particular Computer System. Of course, an IP Address is not always as it seems to be and there may be instances ofIP Address Spoofing where the IP Address is forged to mislead the Traceability exercise. This is also the reason why an IP Address should not be the exclusive criteria to arrest and convict an accused.
Nevertheless, tracing the “Real Culprit” essentially involves the exercise of IP Address Tracing as the first step. In this article I would discuss some of the issues connected with tracking of IP Address from an E-Mail. The scope of this article is not to explain how to obtain E-Mail Headers but to discuss how to “Interpret” E-Mail Headers. So I would presume that you are aware of the procedure to obtain E-Mail Headers from your respective E-Mail Clients. Reading of Anonymity and Traceability in Cyberspace(PDF) by Richard Clayton would be a good idea in this regard.
