is it possible..

[Uwe]

to find out where someone is posting from? :P
[country etc]

[Charlie]

Look at their location or ask them?

Should tell you were they are, and where they are posting from.

[Uwe]

I mean, via admin CP - without anyone telling them ;)

[Charlie]

I don't think so, because then you'd have to be able to find out exactly where that computer was, to find out which country it is in.

They have this hack on DigitalPoint, you can pinpoint exactly where they're posting from, right down to the exact street using Google Map and IP's.

It's quite neat actually.

Why not check it out.

Thing is, Habbox don't install hacks because it's a security risk, but big technical sites like DigitalPoint do - and nothing has become of it.

Big sites like DigitalPoint are run by adults and not related to child sites such as Habbo. Therefore their chances of being exploited by people are minimized.

Keywords: technical sites

These sites are people who know how the software works, how to install mods/hacks, how to look over a mod/hack, test it for vulnerability make it safe, integrate it correctly and code for the software.

Habbox isnt run by those sorts of people. Mainly because it is a habbo forum, not a technical one.

Plus, its easly done, simply take the ip and trace it, although accuracy is often limited.

Actually I realized we can sort of, just a general area that is rather large and could easily be faked or if it wasn't changed because the user forgot to it could be wrong but yeah. We could just check out the timezone. But no, we don't.
