Well, usually you would download a port scanner (or make your own). Then you would scan the IP owner's ports to see which ones are open. Here is a site to see what each port does.

Hopefully, the person will have a port open that is vulnerable to attack. Then you should use a proxy so you don't get caught, then use the open port to your advantage, however you can.

Or you can opt to try a Ping 'o Death attack.

It's also worth noting that most home windows users are behind a router and forward no ports, effectively making port scanning useless.

However, these dumb home users also leave their routers accessible remotely on the web interface and don't change the default password, so it's easy enough to place their machine on the DMZ and have access to all the windows services and server programs they have listening. UPnP is another weakness in routers, although I never have researched it.

So unless you want to get your hands dirty with their routers' settings, port scanning isn't going to do a lot unless they specifically decide to expose themselves, they use a cable modem, or they use dial-up.

You can hide your personal details in whois database by hiding your IP address. And also you can know the country, ISP address, Ip locationb, latitude and longitude, domain name/host name and personal details like name, email address, phone number etc, using IP address. To know the information about your IP address visit the site Ip-details.com .

Hide IP using a proxy server, is that correct?
