Get IP with Socket & C++

[kgun]

As some of you may have registered via the last link in my signature, I am working with C++ Builder 2009 Professional.

I found this Get IP with Socket & C++ - What Is My IP Forum very interesting forum thread.

The tcptunnel tool mentioned in post #3 is interesting and related to another WPW Google thread: The Power of the WebProWorld SEO Community

I noted the following regarding the tcptunnel tool:

"This tool listens to a local TCP port and all the received data will get sent to a remote host".

This is a security related subject so I made a new thread here in the security sub forum.

Curious. Why would you think it is security related?

Simply because anyone can get any visitors real IP in any scripting language. That is nothing new or dangerous at all.

My bolding.

I thought of this and similar tools. Of course that has been known for a long time regarding bad bots.

tcptunnel is new to me.

The heading of the thread could have been better.

I agree, that the DOM model is language independent.

Ahh ok, tunneling has been around for quite some time. A friend of mine once showed me how to even use it to proxy thru for one way connections.
