Tristan9669 Posted September 2, 2005 CID Share Posted September 2, 2005 If I change my IP would my isp know my previous IPs? Like do they log all the ips linked to your account or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted September 2, 2005 CID Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yes they know who has what IP.. via MAC address of the modem.. Are you changing your ip on a network or your physical ip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted September 2, 2005 CID Share Posted September 2, 2005 If I change my IP would my isp know my previous IPs? Like do they log all the ips linked to your account or something? Your ISP will generally log the most recent IP addresses you've had for a short duration (usu. only a few days). It is usually logged by the MAC of the NIC or router if it's an ethernet connection, or by the MAC of the modem if USB or built in wireless.

netmasta Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 If I change my IP would my isp know my previous IPs? Like do they log all the ips linked to your account or something? Obviously they would. Your ISP gives you your public IP address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 they propably look at the websites logs and check who downloaded what, thats how they get all the info hashes and what you downloaded..at what time, etc. there's a shitload of info to look through... especially on a large site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 i agree..but thats propably what they do, RIAA and the other companies got enough time on their hands to look through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperspace Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 they propably look at the websites logs and check who downloaded what, thats how they get all the info hashes and what you downloaded..at what time, etc. Even if they do get your IP from a websites logs, don't they still need to go to your ISP to find out your identity (name, address, etc...)...and if the ISPs only log the most recent IP addresses you've had for a short duration, then how can they cross-reference your IP with your account?

resopalrabotnick Posted September 6, 2005 CID Share Posted September 6, 2005 he. even my router will pretty much log the ip's i have for an indefinite amount of time (or until the memory fills up) if i don't clear the device log once in a while. not much data to store, and the logs are generated automatically, some large text file on one server. my guess is they log every ip since the isps inception out of sheer lazyness. why bother clearing old entries.

Hyperspace Posted September 6, 2005 CID Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yes, if a person does illegal activities from their own pipe...there is most likely a trail that leads right to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
