This is more a privacy question but I could not figure out a forum for it. Given that one can track IP addresses of people that visit a website, and given that IP addresses of all mail, including Usenet posts, is in the header, is there an automated way of checking all Usenet posts by IP address? To see if a particular poster who visited a particular website also posted certain messages on Usenet or elsewhere? This would be done by the webmaster of the website visited. Is there a program to do this? Not manually, which anybody can do, but a software program. I recall years ago some stock forensic accounting firm working with the US SEC developed some kind of software--or was it off the shelf? that's my question--that allowed you to tell, by comparing IP addresses as well as sentence syntax (sentence syntax is difficult, so it was probably a custom program) who (by IP address) posted what on various penny stock bulletin boards and chat rooms. Then they were able to subpoena the internet provider to find out the real world identity of the particular person who had that IP address assigned to them on a particular day of a certain posting (assuming it was not a permanent static address).

RayLopez99 stated in post on 1/3/11 9:00 AM: I have, in my logs, the names of some of the folks in COLA/CSMA labeled. For example, Steve Carroll used to claim to never visit my site - so I labeled his IP address. His name pops up in my logs... and he visits often. I also get visits from others in his area (the IP address can show where someone is from). He likely goes to neighbors and the library or wherever to view my site.
Security groups may be what you are looking for. No. Many posts don't have the IP of the poster, and even those that have may not be reliable, as not being the IP of the poster but of some proxy. I use a anonymizing proxy to post in Usenet, so even if some header has a IP it will be the proxy's IP and not the system's IP I'm posting from. Regards.
*Some* servers include the IP address of the poster in the header Your post's header had this line in it NNTP-Posting-Host: 94.71.18.120 which, unless it was spoofed, should be your address... Not all servers implement this feature so some postings are less traceable.
Hadron stated in post ifstms$c10$-september.org on 1/3/11 9:32 AM: Yes... mine has been spoofed on a number of occasions by trolls masquerading as me. For a while Carroll and crew were posting under different names with my IP address... and then claiming to be my wife and the like. Utterly repulsive behavior.
Unless he is using a proxy. In that case it is the proxy's IP that the nntp server will see and put in the header. Regards.
Juan stated in post on 1/3/11 10:26 AM: Look at the list of quotes he has *about* me... scavenged over many years and many are out and out forged (from Carroll socks and the like). He does that because he *knows* he cannot show me doing as he accuses. It is reprehensible on his part. Then again, the fact he and his cohorts target me to such an extent is proof they know I am right ... or at least mostly so ... in what I write and that I support my views well. There is no other reason for them to obsess about me so much.
Just visited your site. So I see now why you're against Linux. Indeed, it would give people without any medical problems a heart attack, anxiety attack or worse (like epileptic fits trying to install it). Makes sense. RL
Yes apparently easily spoofed--and Peter Kohlmann for one thinks I'm not posting from Greece. But tell me, how is it easily spoofed? Using what program or platform? Unix? Microsoft? I've always heard that it's easy to spoof but never looked into the mechanics of it. RL
Oh, lessee, let me think, hmmmmmmmmmmm *ALT.PRIVACY?????* Nooooo, you don't want to go there and get your rectum reamed for the umpteenth time. LOL Show mine. Can't? Stick to thumping your meat. Yes. Jesus, what a blathering idiot you are. Here, have some more Astrolube, TallyWhacker. lol

(For the rest of you reading this thread, I threatened Ari with a voodoo curse unless he replied to a certain post, and he dutifully replied, showing that he was afraid of the curse. LOL Ari believes in black magic, as do many people). RL
RayLopez99 stated in post on 1/3/11 11:28 AM: To be clear: I am *not* against Linux. I use it and suggest it to others. I think it is great... but I also realize it has a *lot* of room for improvement.
So where's th IP? You are one of the more insufferably stoPidD imbeciles on Usenet, you are aware of that? On top of being a fukksnort, you're a pathetic troll too.So back to your dick you go. *LOL* <http://groups.google.com/group/rec....4c0c2?tvc=1&q=RayLopez99+nut#d8ec9b08cc94c0c2>
Well, Meat Thumper, where is my IP address? Stick to thumping your meat. <http://groups.google.com/group/rec....4c0c2?tvc=1&q=RayLopez99+nut#d8ec9b08cc94c0c2>
Is Meat Thumper RayLopez99 one of yours over there on COLA? If so, would you mind packing him back into his Jack-In-The-Box, fer chrissakes? lol
Some privacy newsgroups have the word "privacy" in their names. I don't know the program you are talking about, but if you find it I would be interested in the "posting style" aspect of identification. It is my belief that *that* method is more powerful than just an IP address or even a range of IP addresses. With all of the different ways users can access the internet and usenet, IP numbers change too often to be of any use outside of the authority's ability to match the IP and the time to the client account and contactable person's name and street address. Usenet posts can be completely untraceable if the right system is used, but posting style can be a dead giveaway good enough for non-authorities.
