| Anyone know if I can trace a stolen laptop via Skype? Posted: 6/1/2009 7:13:46 AM | Hello,
On Monday, May 25th, a thief broke into my truck and stole my laptop computer (and digital camera.) Since the theft, a Skype contact of mine has informed me that "I" have been signed into my account.
My Skype account loads automatically on my laptop, so whoever has it obviously hasn't wiped or replaced the hard drive. Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to trace my laptop simply by virtue of Skype loading/being online? Or would I have to actually engage this A-hole in conversation (via my own account) in order to get a trace?
And yes, a police report has been filed, steps have been taken to prevent fraud via identity theft, and I have e-mailed Skype support (their response was to get in contact with the cop I dealt with and get him to contact them.)
Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. | |

The cops will (assuming they bother at all) get a subpoena for the ip-address of the connection to their servers from skype and then go to the ISP and subpoena the address of the ip-address. | |

You can NOT get EXACT locations by doing a whois on an IP address by yourself. The original post that was in response to the OP was perfectly on track, no need to call people retards for speaking the truth. Perhaps I should be so rude and call you a retard for your poor grammar and call out the false information you've provided.... But I won't, well, too late I suppose. Anyway!
If you do a whois on the target's IP Address, you'll only get the ISP that the IP address has been registered to, thus, you'd have to go through legal channels to get that ISP to reveal the location that connection was made from. With it being a laptop, and with how almost all laptops today have wireless cards, this will probably get you the location of some poor sap's unsecured wireless access point.
If you do a trace route, that only gives you the general area of the local data center in which your node connect to. For instance, I live in Camarillo, a trace route on my IP Address would place me in Los Angeles.
Skype provided the OP with the correct information in this situation, you'll need to have the police contact Skype so they can work on getting live information and then follow up by contacting the ISP to get addresses, something the private sector can't do without involving the court system (legally).
Keep in mind if you do contact the laptop thief, they might get spooked and wipe the laptop / uninstall skype (if they haven't already) which means you'd probably lose it forever.
In the future, you might want to consider a 'phone home' software like
http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/
While it is software, which can be uninstalled by an experienced person (or wiped if they format it), based on the thief you've been dealing with, they don't seem that smart; Which means this may have been prevented if this software was installed. Or, (hopefully not) the next time this happens.
Good luck, hope you get your stuff back! | |

You can call them and they brick (render non-functional) your stolen laptop. | |

Hopefully the cops are going to contact Skype and bust these A-holes, I'd like to get my stuff back. | |

Depending on how your insurance company is for your truck, and what coverage you have on it, you might be able to get them to pay for the cost of replacement.
Check on it, might help you out a ton, but be warned, it could increase your premium. | |

| Anyone know if I can trace a stolen laptop via Skype? Posted: 6/2/2009 9:52:37 AM | | The insurance thing has been looked into, and no, I'm not covered. Here in British Columbia, if you have belongings just sitting loose in your vehicle (as opposed to, say, your car stereo, which is installed and takes some effort to remove, and is therefore considered a part of the vehicle), and the vehicle is broken into and that stuff is taken, you're out of luck. | |

yeah, I got a kick outta that too...lol The majority of today's so called hackers are really just script kiddies who think double-clicking something qualifies them as a hacker (usually easy to tell difference b/c script kiddies like to brag about being a 'hacker'). | |

BYTES in a header, you mean? What version? IPv4 or IPv6? You must be specific in your question in order to get an answer!
There are only three languages that would be structured like that.
ASP.NET, Python, and Visual Basic (.NET / VBScript)
Judging by the dim statements, I'm guessing Visual Basic.

That is a computer lesson how? Oh, wait. You mean back in the days of DOS 6.22 and below? The days where you would have to actually put your hard drive in PARK in order to shut your computer down properly, which, by the way, still exists today; You just don't have to do it manually anymore. Back when BASIC programming was introduced? Or how about how Microsoft purchased QDOS in order to start work on MSDOS?
Aside from that, where is your rebuttal to the incorrect information you provided? We won't even got here on how hard it was to read your posts and understand them, because I really wanted to see if you had anything intelligent to say. Are you not even going to say you're sorry for abruptly calling someone a retard, when he was providing correct information? I don't see any. So you must stop here, just stop, before you completely make a fool of yourself on the forums and on your profile (or did you forget your forum posts are linked on your profile for a little while?) Whoops, too late!

yea thats it smart alow spyware to b installed on ur computer smart one fat man i cant balieve how easy peaple make it to hack them these days
Calling me a fat man? Is that all you got? Really? That's not going to affect me, so why do you think it will? Why resort to name calling when you know fat can be changed, but ugly is forever? Do you even know what spyware is defined as?
Spyware: computer software that obtains information from a user's computer without the user's knowledge or consent.
The software link above is given with the user's knowledge and consent in order to assist law enforcement in recovery of stolen property. It works just like parental software used to tack a child's computer usage. Welcome to the white hat world, get used it it.
(Pssst: White hat refers to a good hacker by definition)
This topic was to focus on how skype can be used as a tool to recover a stolen laptop. I provided the correct information, you did not, and your initial response warranted a comment from me, because, that is who I am. Deal with it and learn to keep on topic. Trying to personally attack someone isn't going to work.
I say it now, and say it proud, I am a Technology/Computers forum troll, who provides CORRECT information, and you will never win  | |

sweetie boy
Ping...lol, You must mean Bing (Bing is recommended for Script Sweeties, Ping might be too much for you until you can bing a whois database)
Dude...I mean... Sweet Boy, 1st of all, When you post in English maybe try your hacking skills on spell check.
2nd, I don't understand a damn thing you were trying to say
3rd, If hacking is so easy for you why are we still posting, wouldn't a hacker have hacked when someone gives them problems? -Might lead people to believe you are better at chatting than hacking, & that doesn't make you look very good b/c your chatting is lacking.
Cute script by the way & I'm not single  | |

But you still seem to think that a whois, will tell you the street location of an individual using the internet. That, combined with your refusal to even TRY a whois command to see if you are right or wrong (because you would see you are wrong), just makes you stupid.
babyboysweet.. or little boy as you are proving to be... All your posts in this thread have had some common elements. You insult others, and you beef yourself up, taking every available opportunity to make sure your elite skills (sorry, 1337 5ki11z0rz) are emphasized. You don't respond to direct questions. When you are shown you are wrong, you ignore it. You then attempt to step into the obscure, changing the thread topic, just to see if you can buffalo others. And someone keeps stepping in, showing you the error of your ways.
And you keep ignoring them.
Sad, really. Especially since you won't actually read and understand what I am saying. I mean, you might reply with some pathetic insults... you might even try to veil the insults, as you did to 'Net up there... with the fat comments, then begrudgingly acknowledging that he know what he is talking about, then continuing to attempt to insult him.
Face it. You opened your mouth (like usual) and got butt hurt (like usual) and now you are just backpedaling like crazy (like usual) pulling out everything from your bag of tricks (like usual) to distract everyone from the obvious fact that you don't know what you are talking about, and for that matter, you can't speak or spell.
I mean, from your butchering of the language, I'd have to guess your age at... 12? You definitely did not graduate High School... and if you did your teachers should all be shot, drawn and quartered.
To the OP. Now you know the value of using a BIOS password, and registering your laptop with the manufacturer at time of purchase. For the past few years, clearing the password from the bios has graduated away from something you could do with a paperclip and the right contacts on the eprom chip. A new Toshiba, for example. The bios password has to be changed from within the bios, or at the factory. And, if you are the registered owner, and the laptop gets sent in by someone else to have the bios pasword cleared... guess what? Toshiba will send it back to YOU... because you are the registered owner.
Or course, who thinks of security these days, right? I mean, it isn't like you were taking an expensive and sensitive piece of electronics out into public and leaving it unattended for any length of time... right? I mean, if you WERE taking an expensive piece of electronics out into the public and leaving it unattended... why WOULDN'T you go crazy with taking extra security measures... in this economy... who wants to tempt thieves any more than they already are tempted. I mean, just your question brought crazies out of the woodwork. Leaving your laptop out is like leaving cheese out in a mouse training facility. | |

Where do I get a copy of a Windows OS that is either "nice" or "little"?
" i wrote that code to tell weather a user is male or female or weather they have not decided "
I prefer to rely on the antediluvian methods of conversation and observation, but that's just me. Nonetheless, I'm rarely fooled.
Maybe boy genius can "write code" to tell if someone's profile or email contains any falsehoods besides gender, such as someone's true weight...now that would be useful! | |

Phule, Your post is actually really insightful, thanks.
For Laptop Recovery: Depending on where it was stolen, the chances of getting it back are very slim.
You might want to take a close look at your friends/neighbors/neighborhood kids.(if your car was parked at home when it was stolen) If you do start looking at your friends/neighbors as potential suspects, keep it to yourself and don't give anyone any hint that you are suspicious.
Assuming your laptop is still in 1 piece, It will have a MAC Address/Service tag#/etc. (unique identifier-with exceptions that are not likely to be issue in this circumstance) {If you don't know the MAC Address, you may be able to figure it out by checking your router log or WAP log >should have list of MAC Addresses that have connected to it}
*If you do suspect a 'friend', do not confront them directly- call police. And if they turn up innocent, if they are a real friend they will forgive you and you can chalk it up to a trust building experience...lol
Also, You might want to check the 'Craigslist'/'Backpage'/Free Ads in the local area foor computers for sale. You might find it that way. Good Luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With all of the terrorism threats/etc going on And with tracing/info collecting capabilities the government has (don't tell you b/c they want you to think you still have privacy) , I'm really surprises that they don't take computer theft more seriously.

ok i give u probs ur not just some fat man that site around eating donuts all day. tho u know how msdos works then u know im right about what i said dont think ur no genious cous im pretty shure i could out wit ya if i tried but all im out to do is learn and help exspecialy not put down other programer if u say u are one u should have respect if not then theres somthing very wrong with
Huh? Oh wait, let me bing it! (Thanks Microsoft! You make understanding illiterates possible!)
ok I give you props, you aren't just some overweight man that sits around all day eating doughnuts. You know how MSDOS works and you know I'm right about what I said. I don't think you are a genius because I'm pretty sure I could out wit you if I tried, but I'm only out to learn and help people; not to put down other programmers. If you say you are one, you should have respect, if not, then there is something very wrong with you.
Now that it makes sense....
I never claimed to be a genius, but, if you want to hint that I am one, I take that as a compliment.
What if I like doughnuts? Nothing wrong with enjoying life to the fullest! (Granted I don't eat doughnuts, but if I did, how sweet would that be, that you're actually right about one thing?)
I am a programmer, and with that, there is a certain level of criteria that needs to be met before respect is given. (Even in the non-coding world, it still applies) To get respect, you have to earn it, and you, sir (or ma'am) have not earned it.
Saying you're a programmer because you can write code in visual basic only touches the top of the ice burg of the coding world. Try something harder, like Assembly or hell, even C++ would be more of a challenge than Visual Basic. I can direct you to some nice books and websites in which would help you learn if you want.
Perhaps you could go into business with your elite hacker skills and write a phone home utility that the original poster could have used!
Oh, and by the way, MSDOS, in ANY version, does not have a WHOIS command by default like a linux/unix does. Perhaps if you want to justify your case, you need to tell the OP the direction he would need to go in to do a WHOIS. (Of which, it still does not give you an exact name an address, it is an IP Addresss assigned in a block of IP Addresses to an ISP, it is NOT a website registration, in which the WHOIS information would give you an address if that person is stupid enough not to use a private registration. Again ISP WHOIS VS WEBSITE WHOIS, TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, SO DON'T THINK YOU'RE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT)
Also, a netstat -n command, in order to identify which IP Address if your target effectively, you would need to run a netstat -n before the connection.
Wait.... let me use bing to translate for you to understand....
N0w u make it sens, I nevr clamied to be a genus, if u want to hint that I am one, I take that as a compliment. What if I like doughnuts? Nothing wrng with enjoing life to the fulest! (I don't eat doughnts, how sweat wuld that be, that u're right about one thang?) I am a progrmamer, there is a certain lvl of that needs to be met before respect is given. (Even in the non-coding world, it still applies) To get respct, u have to earn it, and u, sir (or ma'am) have not earned it. Saying u're a programmer because u can write code in visual basic only touches the top of the ice burg of the coding world.

Again ISP WHOIS VS WEBITE WHOIS, TWO DIFFEENT THINGS, SO DON'T THINK u'RE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT) Also, a netstat -n command, in orde to ident IP Address if ur target effectively, u would ned to run a netstat -n befre the connction.
