README.TXT -----------=========|OldFox|=========----------- FEATURES: ========= 1- OldFox is a tool written to trace the origin of ip address. 2- This Utility is meant for getting geolocation the IPv4 address some information of lattitude and longitude, city, country. 3- For the purpose of collecting path traversed, "traceroute" or "mtr" is used. The IPv4 address are stripped from the "traceroute" or "mtr" output. 4- The IPv4 address is matched against maxmind IPaddress database ( GeoLiteCity ). from which the Latitude and longitude City and Country information is. 5- To retrive the data sqlite3 is used. 6- The GeoLiteCity csv file is imported to sqlite3 and used as our database. SETUP: ====== 1- To compile it should be downloaded and put in a directory 2- Sqlite3-devel should be pre installed COMPILING: ========== 1- use gcc -o oldfox oldfox.c -lsqlite3 EXECUTING: ========== 1- Currently we dont have any instalation procedure. 2- it should be executed from command prompt. ( though it can be added to desktop menu ) 3- the application needs a file to be mentioend in the commandline. 4- this file contains the ip address of the hops obtained from "traceroute" or "mtr" 5- to get the file there are 2 shell scripts provided. 6- for "traceroute" based tracing execute "sh traceroute.sh <destination host name/ip address> <outputfilename>" the hop IPs willbe stored in the "outputfile" 7- for "mtr" based tracing, use "sh mtrscript.sh <destination> <outputfile>" 8- then execute "oldfox outputfile", the display is in a tabular form. 9- if you want to trace the path of an e-mail then by hand pick all the ip address from origin to your mailid 10- put it in a file and execute "oldfox <filecontaining ip address>
