Hi,
Is there anyway of tracking an IP Address in Facebook Chat realtime or otherwise? I have a case in that I wish to track down the IP Address of a FB User so I can locate. Is there a way? Method? to do it, through realtime or is it logged any where??
CMIIW but, I don't think you could do it straight away, except probably if you are using gtalk or yahoo, then yo do file sending activity, then probably you will be able to see the ip of the other user.
But I remembered a story of my forensic instructor, tasked with tracing IP of an person through email, my instructor then send a link via email (spoofing a website name of some kind) then when the link is clicked, the page record the IP address.
It's not even necessary to send an email containing a link. Just create an HTML message and embed pictures linked to your Web site (with <img src="http//mytrackingsite….. ). Yes, some email clients will not display such images by default, but chances of them being displayed are higher IMO than the chance of a link being clicked.
FB will provide you with the info provided you present the proper legal documentation (i.e. Law Enforcement Judicial request).

I think you can use the netstat -an while chatting with the facebook user. it should show you his IP.
