How to know information about IP from External Network

To gather information about an IP address from an external network, you can use various online tools and commands, as well as specialized services.

Here are some common methods:

1. Ping Command:
   • Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux/macOS).
   • Type ping followed by the IP address you want to check and press Enter.
   • This will send ICMP echo requests to the IP address and display response times if the IP is reachable.
2. Traceroute Command:
   • You can use the traceroute command (or tracert on Windows) followed by the IP address to trace the route packets take to reach the destination. This can help identify network hops.
3. Online IP Lookup Tools:
   • Various websites offer IP lookup services. You can visit websites like “ipinfo.io,” “geoiptool.com,” or “whatismyip.com” and enter the IP address to get information about its location, ISP, and more.
4. NSlookup or Dig Command:
   • You can use the nslookup command on Windows or the dig command on Linux/macOS to perform DNS lookups for an IP address. This can provide information about the domain associated with the IP.
5. Whois Lookup:
   • Use a “whois” lookup service to gather detailed information about the owner, organization, and registration details of the IP address. Many websites and command-line tools support whois lookups.
6. Reverse IP Lookup:
   • You can perform a reverse IP lookup to find domains associated with an IP address. Several online tools and services offer this functionality.
7. Specialized IP Geolocation Services:
   • There are specialized IP geolocation services that provide detailed information about the location, city, region, and even latitude/longitude of an IP address.

Remember that the level of detail you can obtain about an IP address may vary, and some IP addresses might have privacy measures in place that limit the information you can access.

Always use these tools and methods responsibly and in compliance with legal and ethical guidelines.
