How to track a person on the net? (Part II)
The power of the Internet is extremely high. Many of the modern remote-control systems work over the ethernet. That makes fast and properly working internet one of the vital tools when we are thinking about sharing the information but also when some systems like engines are adjusted by using the remote control.
The search engines have stored very much data, which is not indexed. That means that there are card files for that data, but the page rank of those files is so low, that they are not seen in the public eye. And somebody asks sometimes, do those data storages follow the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) standard? If that data can be changed or otherwise manipulated that thing can cause harm for many actors.
So what makes this data interesting? The thing is connected to the thing, which is called "Carrier IQ". When some user uses the net search, the data is stored in the indexing system. Also, the homepage that the user has been click is stored in the indexing system. This thing is rising its page rank and the place where it is visible in the search results. But when the homepage is coming to the screen, the data travels on the net. And in front of each data packet is the identifier called Carrier IQ.
The purpose of this small code the routers route the data to the right place. That place is the IP-address of the network card. And the risk is that when the data is transmitted by using the TCP/IP protocol, the computer sends the feedback where is the size of the data package and the check number, what tell the sender server that the data is reaching the receiver. So the answer is that "IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" has been received the data.
The thing is that the IP-address is telling the network what the computer uses. And then the system can ask, who is the customer, who uses that IP-address? But how Carrier IQ is connecting with this kind of thing? The homepages could contain the data, what is prohibited to share, and the server what runs those homepages would send the data about visiting those homepages to the third party. When some server sends the data to the internet, that feels innocent. The IP-address of the server can be used to track the users of the web services that server hosts.
The answer or echo that is coming from the internet is telling that the system. What has certain IP has received the data. So the tracking computer can send the orders to the network, what the target uses to start the track the device. And that thing would uncover the location of the user of the network by millimeter accuracy.
