Doxing Tutorial
Doxing is basically when you get access to someone's information through the methods I am about to mention.
== Methods Of Doxing ==
-
Via Ip Address -
Doxing via IP won't get you much information but it will help you in your goal of getting your targets dox. There are many ways of getting someone's IP address, I'm going to tell you two of the most used.
Way #1: Obtain the IP through email. I'm not going to explain all that but here is a tutorial on how to

Way #2: Obtain the IP through Xbox Live. For this you need a program called "Cain & Abel" here is a video tutorial on how to set that all up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19D9E3e0b0 .
Now once you have obtained your targets IP head on over to this site
http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/ . From there you can find their latitude/longitude which will let you find their state and city (the city isn't always correct)
Via Email Address -
Assuming that you have their email address(es) there is quite a bit of information you can find from this head over to
http://com.lullar.com/. This site is a very handy doxing tool enter the email address you have on here and it will pull up any accounts or names registered to that email, you know...facebook, myspace, youtube...ect. If you get their facebook or something with their first and last name on it
then you are golden and go ahead and use the next method. (Note, You can use email to obtain IP's that has been explained above)
Via Telephone Number,Names,Address -
For this method the only website you will need is
http://www.whitepages.com/ just fill in the first name, last name, city, (or just a phone number if you have it) and state boxes and search. More than likely you'll have multiple people pop-up with same name as your target but different addresses, now this is were the hard work starts. In order to elimate the "fakes" your going to have dox a few more people. Now if you look to the right of the names (

Via User Names -
http://knowem.com/ Is the site you need, it works the same as the email method
.
Via Social Groups -
Social groups are good once you found your targets facebook for example. You can use it to obtain more information on your target and also get pictures of your target. Pictures can also help you dox your target, I will explain that later on.
-
Social Engineering -
Social Engineering is a greatly used technic for obtaining information. Social engineering is basically manipulating or tricking your target in to giving you his/her information. One way of doing this for example is by email. I once doxed a person by making a believable email address and pretened that I worked for a website and wrote articles. So I asked my target if I could interview him he said "sure", I said "would you mind starting off this interview with telling me you first and last name?" and boom, he gave it to me simple as that! Then I used the other methods for the rest of his dox.
Via Domain Names They own -The Lawyers Web Page
Domain names (website URL's) are also very useful in doxing because you can obtain a full name and address from them but only if your target is stupid enough to enter his/her real info for his/her site. Go on over to
http://whois.domaintools.com/ and enter a website (
http://i51.tinypic.com/30rmolk.jpg) then click "look up" and you will get something like this (
http://i54.tinypic.com/iylqfp.jpg) as you can see though that is a example of false information ( or just not the dox we are looking for ).
Via Images -
Searching images is a good way to find where pictures are uploaded at. So lets say you have a picture of your target, just go herehttp://www.tineye.com/ and enter the picture you got. It will search it
for you and with any luck you will get a link to his/her's facebook or myspace.
== What To Do With Dox ==
Once you have obtained all the dox of your target there are several things you can do.
1. You can use them as black mail, threaten to post them everywhere if you don't get what you want.
2. You can just be an asshole and post them everywhere and send your target the link.
3. Or use that information to gain access to something thats theirs such as a xbox live account.

Good Luck and happy hunting
