Basics of Doxing - Meow - Sep 23, 2014 WHAT IS DOXING? “Doxing”, or simplified: “documenting” is a method used to gather personal information about a person. WHY SHOULD I DOX SOMEONE? Well there are a lot of reasons why you should dox someone and I will list some of them below.. 1. Revenge 2. You met someone long time ago and you can't remember his email/phone number WHAT CAN I DO WITH THEIR INFORMATION? You can use your information for a lot of causes, from ordering pizza to his house to renting a hotel room on their name. WHAT DO I NEED? •Basic computer knowledge •The ability to think outside of the box •Pen & Paper or some kind of Notepad IS IT LEGAL TO DOX? All information found is available on the internet so yes,it is legal. How to find someones skype : Method #1 (Google) Spoiler (Click to View) The easiest and fastest way to find a skype is by searching through the target’s posts. If that does not work, try using SE to ask the skype (I will not talk about that because it's forbidden on HF) If your target does not have enough posts, use google to search for other forums he/she might be active on. When you have their skype, you can use it to find a lot of details. You can get their IP and you can use it as a link to other information the target has posted on the internet using google, Method #2 (E-Mail) Spoiler (Click to View) Let’s say we only have the target’s email. Open skype and press “add skype user” Most people don’t even know they have multiple skype accounts on the same email address. Type in victims E-mail address and hit search. Method #3 Spoiler (Click to View) There are a lot of skype resolvers on the web. You can retreive the IP from your target’s skype. Or you can use their IP to find their skype. The website that is used for this is: http://skresolver.com/ There is a big chance that his mum/dad also made skype on same IP therefor you can easily find his mother/father name witch is GREAT advantage. How to find someones name/surname : Method #1 (Google) Spoiler (Click to View) If you need the name of your target write down all the names you have found. Keep searching for all the names possible, the more information you find, the better. Sometimes people use their real name on their twitter or have done so in the past. If their twitter has been removed, use google cache. Method #2 (Facebook) Spoiler (Click to View) There are a lot of different ways to find someones name on facebook. You can use their first name and city to search for them, or their friends. It is adviced to set up a fake facebook account so you can add them and their friends without problems. We know our target’s name is Joe,but we don’t know his surname. Let’s add the target on facebook first.. From looking at his friends we can only guess his name would either be "Mike" or "Joe". To be sure we can simply look through his photos and see if our target is in one of their pictures.. Hope it helps you guys and good luck with doxing! 🤝 Me & my friend put this together for HF and some other forum. * - Spaark - Sep 24, 2014 Thanks for this Meow. Time to get some kids <3 * - Kodo - Sep 24, 2014 No offense but this is a half assed tutorial. You could have at least included whitepages for addresses and phone numbers.
