Intelligent PC Location Tracking System

We usually come across conditions where we need to track the location of


a particular PC/Laptop. This conditions arises from security issues as well
as companies need to track pc/laptop locations to check the geological
location of their online customers. This data is obtained through ip address
tracking. The ip addresses issued by internet providers is location
dependent. Our systems need to reverse engineer this data in order to get
the city of that particular terminal.

We here use a live windows based application as demo ip recorder to


capture the ip addresses of terminals. Then we make a reverse lookup to
map those ip address into city coordinates. This helps a company to record
and track it target customers by plotting them on a map. It help companies
take better marketing decisions by checking the geographic spread of their
software/product in various cities.

We here propose a system that helps get the ip address of a pc and based
on it tracks the ip address on a google map. The system is to be designed
to retrieve ip address information of particular PC/laptops and then reverse
engineer then into city coordinates. These city coordinates are then
mapped onto a google map in order to graphically map them on a google
map. This provides a robust and efficient PC/lap top tracking system for
companies as well as cyber crime that allows for instant ip retrieval and
reverse ip looking that PC address to plot it on a google map. This system
uses dotnet framework coupled with sql backend in order to achieve this
functionality.

Software Requirements:

 Windows 7
 Sql 2008
 Visual studio 2010
Hardware Components:

 Processor – Dual Core


 Hard Disk – 50 GB
 Memory – 1GB RAM

Advantages:

 Main Advantage of this System is that users will not know that they
are being checked.
 We can get name of city from where this ip belongs to.

Disadvantage:

 We can not track exact location of the ip.


 Users should have Internet connection.

Applications:

 This system can be used by government officials to check any


suspicious activities from any PC.
 It can be also used by private detective companies.
