Who writes in the ask anonymously. How to reveal an anonymous person? How to protect yourself from anonymous questions

There is a problem: someone wrote a post on your blog, how do you find out who this person is? Very simple - using its IP.

IP address (IP address, short for Internet Protocol Address) is a unique identifier (address) of a device (usually a computer) connected to local network or the Internet.

Traveling across the network, we leave our unique trace in the logs of the servers we visit. All we have to do is determine the well-wisher’s IP and use it to calculate the places he visits. Using these clues (login, nickname, email, mobile, address), you can create an approximate composite photo. Most often it is possible to access your personal page “In Contacts”. Email, the “Contacts” page can be broken, but we will limit ourselves to legal methods - namely, a targeted search for information on the Internet.

So let's start with IP. If you have a blog like I do, you probably have a free counter on it. Except useful property count the number of visits, the counter, as a rule, collects other information about visitors - their IP, time of visit, basic information about their computer (OS, browser version, and so on).

How does this happen? When visiting your page, the user's browser downloads its skeleton from the server on which it is located. After that, the browser loads all the pictures and additions from the main site, as well as other sites on which they are posted. There is a trick here - in order to display the counter image in itself, the client’s browser must send a request to the server that provides the counting service - and it does this. At this time, the server easily determines and records who asked for the drawing (IP), the time it was and other information that the client provides.

This is what the counter field looks like on my blog:

Seemingly simple drawings, but everything is not so simple:

If you look inside the page, this block contains the following code.

I underlined the addresses to which your browser is sent every time you load my page. At these addresses there is a processor that collects information about you.

There is no need to be afraid - almost all sites contain counters and there is no escape from this. Moreover, some sites regularly post (consciously or not) statistics of visits to their site, which means search spiders (google, yandex) have a copy of these pages. It turns out that everyone knows everything about everyone - all you have to do is use your brain a little.

A site that organizes visit counting provides the blogger with interesting statistical information about his blog, but in addition to beautiful graphs and numbers, the site contains a banal log

I changed all the IPs for the secrecy of my readers, but, as you can see, I see them in their pure form.

It is worth starting an investigation from the time when the comment was left. Next, we should look in the counter log for the entry made +/- at this time. Using the counter, calculate the IP address. Using the IP address (if you're lucky, of course) you can find other traces left from the author's computer. There is a non-zero probability that in those traces there will be other clues (email, mobile phone, asya, nickname on the forum) - then we can say success.

I did this twice. The work is not easy and it is not certain that it will lead to a result (or the right result). In any case, be prepared that this will take several hours of your time. In addition, the IP address can change (be dynamic). But even here there are opportunities to get out, and since they are unique for each unique case, I did not describe them here. In the future, if the opportunity arises to find someone again, I will definitely describe the process...

Not so long ago, the “Sprashivay.ru” service appeared on the World Wide Web - a standard answerer. Otvechalnik is a site that allows you to ask questions and answer them.

A special feature of “Sprashivay.ru” is the ability for users of this service to answer questions from the site itself. The last function was created for those who do not have enough questions from service users or simply want to be more understandable and interesting for readers of their account (an account is a record containing information that the user reports about himself to some computer system). Another feature of “Sprashivay.ru” is the ability to ask questions anonymously.

Both friends and enemies write anonymously. Many people write very unpleasant questions. And, of course, I want to know who is hiding behind the anonymous mask. This begs the question:

How to identify an anonymous person on Sprashivay.ru?

The answer is simple– in order to find out who is asking you questions, you just need to download it on the Internet special program. Internet users offer many programs, the essence of which boils down to declassifying an anonymous person.

Many sites offer to reveal an anonymous person on Sprashivay.ru completely free of charge. The program promises to expose anonymous people on Sprashivay.ru, determine the name of this user and immediately go to his VKontakte page (vk.com/). Isn't this complete exposure and domination of the hiding person? The creators claim that this service is very easy to use, and it has already been useful to many users of the “Sprashivay.ru” website. But are the creators of this program really honest with us or are they exaggerating their merits?

So, now let’s summarize what exactly the program gives us for opening anonymous accounts on Sprashivay.ru:

1. You will see a list of users who have logged into your account.
2. You will see who wrote messages to you on the Sprashivay.ru website.
3. The service will also recognize and give you a link to the VKontakte website of the person who wanted to remain secret.

But should we trust the creators of this program?? Or maybe this is another Internet trap? We can rely on the words of official representatives of Sprashivay.ru. They claim that it is impossible to recognize an anonymous person.

It turns out that all programs to expose hidden users are a simple Internet trap. It is not yet known what consequences these programs may bring to you. So communicate with anonymous users, and if you don’t like secrecy, then the site on Sprashivay.ru has a function that allows you to disable questions from anonymous users, you can also disable questions from unregistered users. And in general, if you don’t like a question, then no one is forcing you to answer it, you can send it to the trash. Why get upset over trifles? It's worth taking care of your nerves.

Be attentive and careful on the World Wide Web. Good luck to you!

Ask.fm — social network to communicate using questions and answers. Created in Latvia and is a competitor Spring.me(early Formspring). Using this site, users can answer questions and also ask other users. The main function of such a service is the ability to ask an anonymous question. Actually, this is the reason for this question.

Probably, many users of the site received the same question, after which you want to find the person who wrote it. Often these are questions of an offensive or piquant nature. Let's try to resolve this issue.

How to calculate an anonymous person

Of course, there are ways to expose an anonymous person. But you shouldn’t trust such “magic” sites that can find an anonymous person just by the page number. The scammers write so believably that even the most advanced user can believe that this service works. Such sites on the Internet a large number of. Their task is to defraud you of money or infect your computer with malware that can steal your personal data (for example, data from an electronic wallet). An example of such a site:

Attention! Don't trust sites that ask you to send a message from your phone. Sites that require phone verification automatically send you a message with a code that you need to enter.

Now let’s look at some really working methods that won’t steal your money or harm your computer.

Method 1: Psychology

Every person can be brought to clean water. But for this you need to find the right approach. This can be done in several ways:

• Try to talk with an anonymous person, ask him a couple of leading questions. Perhaps the person will miss something and let it slip, and you will be able to guess who is hiding their identity.
• Use the method that is popularly called “to show off.” In this case, you need to confidently and directly tell your interlocutor that you know everything about his tricks and ask why he did it. In most cases, the user who wrote an anonymous question will be scared. After this, he can begin to make excuses and reduce everything to a joke, and in the meantime you will be able to figure out the person’s personality based on some characteristics. If the anonymous person does not admit his guilt in any way and you think that he is telling the truth, then ask him to log in and, if necessary, tell the truth.

Method 2: Link Trap

To calculate an anonymous user Ask.fm, you can use the link to catch guests. To apply this method, you need to place in the column "Web site", link to profile in "In contact with" or "Classmates". To catch an anonymous person, we will use the application "My guests". To do this, you need to do the following:

After this, the construction of the trap will be completed. All users who follow the link will be displayed in the section "Guests". All you have to do is wait and periodically log into the application. This is where the methods of exposing an anonymous person end.

Greetings!

Services where you can ask an anonymous question to the page owner are gaining more and more popularity. However, human curiosity has no limits and sometimes you want to find out who asked a particular question.

Let's see if it is possible to find out this information.

Is it possible to find out who asked an anonymous question on the Sprashivai.ru or Ask.fm service?

A rather pressing question for many users of the above services is how to find out the sender of a question, what is hidden behind the anonymous name.

Perhaps there are some ways to find out this information of interest. However, there are no official methods - the service administration does not disclose this information, even on a paid basis. Undoubtedly, in the depths of the service this information monitored and recorded, but only for technical purposes, and also for public services, for example, law enforcement. In the event of illegal acts using this service, the administration is required by law to provide all available information to the competent authorities that would help solve the crime.

But if the data is collected, then it may be accessible from the outside; fortunately, on the Internet you can find offers that indicate that you can easily identify an anonymous sender, you just need to pay a certain amount of money.

It is worth especially noting and emphasizing that there are no third-party services that would show you, even for a fee, the anonymous sender of a particular question asked of you. All of this is pure fraud. At best, you will lose money and be shown a random person who supposedly asked the question, and at worst, you will compromise your account(provided, of course, that to “identify” the author of an anonymous question you will need to enter the login and password for your page on the anonymous question service).

Exactly the same applies to programs for computers, as well as applications for smartphones, the functionality of which promises to identify the user who asked you an anonymous question. Do not even think about installing them; these utilities are almost guaranteed to be viruses and other malicious elements.

It is necessary to understand that if you make it possible to disclose this data, then the very essence of the service, which asks questions on an anonymous basis, is lost. If a person asking an anonymous question knows that he may be recognized, then he will most likely simply refuse to submit the question. Traffic to the service and activity on it will suffer, so it’s unlikely that anything will ever change and the ability to find out who asked you an anonymous question will be introduced.

Probably, every person has such curious “well-wishers” who cannot openly express their opinion towards him. There may be various reasons. First of all, it may be personal hostility, fear of hearing the truth addressed to oneself, inability to defend one’s own point of view, and more. Such people who write on Ask fm, as a rule, have an acute psychological need to spoil you publicly and at the same time remain incognito.

How to find your offenders on Ask fm?
