Yet another What's my IP (and much more) site..

[Redleg]

I'm jumping on the "What's my IP craze" here, but with an "improved" version this time..

It's mostly for fun and PHP practice, but I'm now developing

www.spyber.com

It's programmed in a mix of PHP, Java and HTML...

It finds your IP, and tries to determine if you're "hiding" behind a proxy, and (try to) display your real IP and Proxy IP if you are.
(50%-60% successfull in finding your real IP. it's real hard to make it more accurate)

It gives you your Operation System and Browser info/version
(20-30 browsers and OS detected now, more will be added)

Gives you your complete useragent.

Your screen resolution and color depth
(requires java).

How you found the site (referer)

And last but not least, it analyzes your useragent for know spyware/adware agents.
(only 5 common ones added so far, many more will be added soon..)


Please check it out and let me know if it displays the correct info, and if it's able to detect your proxy IP (if you're using one)...
It does also (kind of) work on WAP devices like cellphones...
(at least it worked on mine...)

Please copy and paste your useragent here (or PM me) if it displays the wrong browser/OS info..

Any suggestions to other features I should add there??

Thanks.

:hearts: Cool

Fixed a couple of minor bugs, and added some more Browsers and Operation systems..

Also made a "light version" of the site for WAP/Mobile devices.
It detects the IP, Host, Useragent and geotargets your IP.
You can find it at wap.spyber.com

Comments and Feedback are most welcome..

it didn't detect my proxy!! ..well, I'm pretty sure it's a proxy.. it's a feature that comes with Earthlink TotalAccess.. and it always redirects my IP to missouri, lol.

otherwise, great site! ..but, what's a useragent?

 

[Redleg]

It's (unfortunatelly) not able to detect all proxies, since it's a fairly simple detection script.
I'll see what I can do about that later.

The Useragent tells a bit about your Operation system, browser type (and plug-ins)..
I've also planned to add explanations about IP, Proxy, Useragent etc. on the site. (Maybe a small pop-up window when you click on the diferent tables...)

Nice, clean interface- instant results. Will check out w/ proxie server later on and give you the results.

You'll never be able to indentify all the proxies simply because their are different types of proxies, each giving different amounts of info.

If you don't use a proxy, just a straight connection, it'll look like this:

REMOTE_ADDR = your true IP address
HTTP_VIA = not determined
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = not determined

Transparent proxies look like this:

REMOTE_ADDR = proxy IP
HTTP_VIA = proxy IP
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = your true IP

Anonymous proxies show this:

REMOTE_ADDR = proxy IP
HTTP_VIA = proxy IP
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = proxy IP

High anon proxies (sometimes called 'elite' proxies) hide the fact a proxy is being used:

REMOTE_ADDR = proxy IP
HTTP_VIA = not determined
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = not determined

And finally, here's what a gateway (sometimes called distorting) looks like:

REMOTE_ADDR = proxy IP
HTTP_VIA = proxy IP
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = random IP address

 

[Redleg]

I know that..

And that script isn't ment to find all proxies either (as I wrote in my first post), but just check how "stealthy" you are when you surf around behind a proxy..
The script uses some of those commands, but it does some more as well.
And I still have some more work to do on the code, so it's not done yet....

It's possible to find your real ip behind (almost) any type of proxy by using advanced javascripts, but that requires a bit more javascript knowledge than I possess right now...

Yet another update on www.spyber.com

Changed the layout a bit, added country flags on the IP geotargeting, and changed/updated the Proxy detection code a bit.

It should be able to detect transparent Proxies, and find your real IP if you're behind one.
It detects some Anonymous proxies, but it does not find high anonymity proxies since they are pretty hard to detect (as dpk87 explained in his post)..

Comments and suggestions are of course most welcome..

Lookin real good, there, Redleg. Right on the money w/ Mac OS. Still haven't setup a proxy w/ this sys, and am still pruning and reconfiguring XP on other comp (which has proxy capability), before taking it back on line.

One prob- not sure if is on your side or mine, but your script reads my screen to show 4294967296 colors. When I finished a manual count this morning, I could have sworn I that there were 4294967298 colors, but I could have gotten lost in the midrange area and seen two where there was really only one.:hehe:

TX for sharing the progression of your project/script w/ us. :tu:

 

[Redleg]

Just "bothering" you with yet another update on www.spyber.com

updated the IP geotargeting database and the Operation System and Browser info.

Please visit the site and see if your info is correctly displayed there.
PM me or post here if you find any errors.


Spyber.com got a #1 spot in MSN.com for both "My IP" and "What is my IP" by the way, so the traffic is quite nice, and it got a whooping 14.5% bookmark rate last month! :D

Thanks.

 

[PoorDoggie]

it still dosen't work for me. Its funny because most ip sites say I live in the USA, but there is a program that tells me that I live in UK, and when I go to google.com it redirects me to google.co.uk.

Also, you seem to have lost your top spot on msn for both search words.

 

[Redleg]

Hm..

Could you please PM me your IP, and I'll look at it (again..) ??
It's hard (impossible) to keep an IP database 100% up to date..

I still see it as #1 on MSN..
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?FORM=MSNH&srch_type=0&q=my+ip
But MSN do geotarget their results, so that may be the reason why you're not seeing it there..

 

[PoorDoggie]

sorry - I use the iexplorer address bar to search for stuff on MSN, and in that I get spyber as about 4th (http://search.msn.co.uk/results.aspx?srch=105&FORM=AS5&q=my+ip). Your url is different, and its #1 there. Well Done!

my ip address is: 172.200.0.95. We did have this problem before. Its becasuse I use AOL, and I remember having this problem when you first started the site. I don't think there is anything you can do really. Sorry

Its a great site, well done!

Tom

Edit: sorry, but you live in the US! Just accept it..

...did you even bother to think of what he was saying? it's mostly for FUN and php PRACTICE!!! sure it costs a little, but that's just how it is with Hobbies..... dude, you need to lighten up!

 

[Redleg]

This is so lame, there are like 2 thousand of these out there, p.s your script is designed poorly buddy www. whatismyip.com is all that is needed, everything else can go, no offence to you mate, its just your wasting your money+ time to run the site, because there are loads of these out there

:lol:

It's been a while since I've visited my old thread, but that was certainly a good post..

I don't know if your still with us here or not, but I'll post a reply anyway:

The script works exactly the way it's intended to do.
It's meant to show the "average surfing joe" that you're not anonymous on the internet..
You can leave a lot of info behind everytime you visit a site, probably more than many surfers know about..

150-200 daily visitors, near the top on MSN and Yahoo for "what is my ip" and "My ip", and around 50%-60% bookmark rate.
So I don't know what wasted money you're talking about, it must probably be the $$ that Adsense is "wasting" on me every day because of that site??


But this was not the reason why I revisited my old thread here..

Just wanted to get some input on the design change, and the new features.
Changed a few things and added a couple of more features like the clipboard info..
Some of you may not be aware of that the info you have copied to your clipboard may be retrieved easily with javascript..
So it's not a good idea to have personal info (like usernames/passwords, credit card and bank account numbers etc..) copied in there when you're surfing.

Go to www.spyber.com to see what's in your clipboard right now.
If it says "null" then it's empty, so you can try to copy some of the text on the site and press the refresh button to test it..

I've only tested that script on IE, so I don't know yet if it works on Firefox etc..
But the clipboard info could still be available, even if it's not displayed on the site.
