How IP grabbers work
Understanding how IP-grabbers work is fundamental to using them effectively.
An IP grabber is a service or web page designed to log the IP addresses of visitors. An IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to your device by your internet provider or VPN.
By itself, an IP address usually does not reveal someone’s exact location, but it can often indicate:
- Approximate city or region
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Country
- Whether the visitor is using a VPN, proxy, or data center
However, an IP address alone generally cannot:
- Reveal a person’s exact home address
- Hack their computer
- Access personal files
How are they Implemented?
The process is simple:
- A user visits a website or clicks a link.
- Their device sends a request to the server.
- The server automatically sees the visitor’s IP address as part of normal internet communication.
- The server records the IP address and may also log:
- Browser type
- Operating system
- Device type
- Time of visit
- Approximate geographic location
- Referring webpage
This is standard web server behavior, not something unique to IP grabbers.
Using IP-grabbers offensively
Now that you understand how IP-Grabbers work, we can learn how to leverage their capabilities as a tool.
- Ensure that you have read and understand the OPSEC guide to protect yourself. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP
- Choose a grabber service from the list below.
- Make it believable with the settings on your grabber website, usually some data mining is required to make it look appealing to click.
- Once you’ve datamined and KNOW YOUR TARGET WELL you can make a convincing grabber suited to their interests, baiting an impulse click. Example image:
Note that the “not for snowflakes” makes it more of an impulsive click, as not clicking implies that your a snowflake. Since this target was stupid it was easy to identify what they would click on based off their interest in dark humor and mention of South Park.
- Filter bots, you may get some random company IP’s after sending since crawler bots try to figure out what you sent to display a preview. Look for a unique IP that is coming from somewhere close to your targets general location.

Cobsoy is a great choice for smarter people who won’t click obvious links.
https://grabify.org
Grabify is the most standard IP-Grabber and has lots of settings, however anyone who’s not a dumbass isn’t gonna click this. Good for use on retards though.
https://iplogger.org
Same as Grabify, won’t work on non-idiots.
Countergrabbing
- If you got your IP grabbed, don’t panic. Hopefully you had your VPN on, which if you did you have nothing to worry about.
- If not, and they actually have your IP, Google “what is my IP” and confirm it, then write it down or take a picture.
- Then, unplug your router for like 5 minutes and plug it back in.
- After, google that again and pray that it’s different. If it is, congratulations. If not, just hope that the guy who has your IP is too poor to buy a DDOS .
- Don’t be a dumbass and click stupid links or leave your VPN off when doing shit.(OPSEC)
