I have an IP address that is attackeing my computer. How can I find out who it belongs to?

Question

My security is blocking the address. It is classified as an attack.
Protocol UDP

I looked up three suggestions and haven't found an answer yet. dnsstuff.com showed it to be a private IP. Is this something to concerned about.

Answer 1

Spoofed IP Address's don't bother you won't find the attacker
the question is are you the target of his attack or it's someone
else and your just caught in the crossfire?

To explain a UDP Flood Attack: UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does not require any connection setup procedure to transfer data. A UDP Flood Attack is possible when an attacker sends a UDP packet to a random port on his targets system. When the victim system receives a UDP packet, it will determine what application is waiting on the destination port. When it realizes that there is no application that is waiting on the port, it will generate an ICMP packet of destination unreachable to the forged source address. If enough UDP packets are delivered to ports on victim, the system will go down.

Answer 2

well first of all IP means "Internet provider address" This tells things over the Internet and etc.So an other user cannot be "Attacking" your computer. If your getting an virus message saying you have a spy ware or something like that then you have to run a "FULL" system scan. If all fails and you are still worried bring your computer to a local computer store and tell them your problem.

Answer 3

This could probably mean that the remote computer (IP) is doing it on purpose or he is infected with some kind of virus.

First check how far that remote m/c is

start=>run=>cmd and type 'traceroute ' . If the number of hops are less then it means that the remote ip is near to your network (not in terms of distance).

use the geoip to see where exactly the person is http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country . This tells us the country/location/..etc

If you want to know that remote computer is infected, try 'nmap' program on the remote server. (remember, doing portscan on IPs in some coutries is against law).

The safest things are to use 'whois,geo-ip,traceroute'

Answer 4

They may have your number. Top of Browser; Tools > Internet Options > Find and click Delete Files, if, a box open check off-line content see if it stop. IF not this is common, they hit certain ISPs and see who they get in on, some people not have a Firewall or Virus Software to stop. If, your Firewall blocking them look and find where it "Back-trace" and it give everything about them or if you get their ISP, it be a number like 101.04.85.82, you can enter the number into your Address Bar and it go to the ISP, or give the number to the FBI, say they Al-Qidida and said they going to kill Americans. Go here; http://www.fbi.gov/
The FBI like Fu*king with these people as much as they like Fu*king with us. Heck, you say they Al-Quivers and the CIA may Fu*k them too.

Answer 5

Maybe they werent attacking you, maybe you download stuff . and it anted to share files, ( i think u have MaCafee) it always does this (it sucks)
other than that... look at the ip address and ask internet service providers near you (it might have also been a friend)

Answer 6

Go to the following link http://remote.12dt.com/ and enter the IP you have. You should get a DNS name and an option to get a "whois" on the DNS address.
Hope this helps!!!
