Cybercrime refers to any crime that involves a computer and network, where computer may or may not play an instrumental part in the commission of the crime. Detection and investigation of cybercrime can likewise be difficult because busy network traffic and frequent online transactions generate large amounts of data, only a small portion of which relates to illegal activities. In this paper, we are focusing on technologies that can help to improve the effective investigation of cybercrime, facilitate police work and enable investigators to allocate their time to other tasks. We have developed an IP mapping tool called MIPA that combines online mapping techniques and IP geolocation technology, and uses application functionality from disparate web sources. The emergence of the Web 2.0 and user-friendly online mapping techniques have created public interest in contributing information through Web- enabled geospatial tools.

  • The Case of Shared Public Ips at Hotspots
    How Others Compromise Your Location Privacy: The Case of Shared Public IPs at Hotspots Nevena Vratonjic1,K´evin Huguenin1, Vincent Bindschaedler2,and Jean-Pierre Hubaux1 1 School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL, Switzerland 2 Department of Computer Science, UIUC, USA Abstract. Location privacy has been extensively studied over the last few years, especially in the context of location-based services where users purposely disclose their location to benefit from convenient context- aware services. To date, however, little attention has been devoted to the case of users’ location being unintentionally compromised by others. In this paper, we study a concrete and widespread example of such sit- uations, specifically the location-privacy threat created by access points (e.g., public hotspots) using network address translation (NAT). Indeed, because users connected to the same hotspot share a unique public IP, a single user making a location-based request is enough to enable a service provider to map the IP of the hotspot to its geographic coordinates, thus compromising the location privacy of all the other connected users. When successful, the service provider can locate users within a few hundreds of meters, thus improving over existing IP-location databases. Even in the case where IPs change periodically (e.g., by using DHCP), the service provider is still able to update a previous (IP, Location) mapping by inferring IP changes from authenticated communications (e.g., cookies). The contribution of this paper is three-fold: (i) We identify a novel threat to users’ location privacy caused by the use of shared public IPs. (ii) We formalize and analyze theoretically the threat.

  • Towards IP Geolocation with Intermediate Routers Based on Topology Discovery Zhihao Wang1,2,Hongli1,2*,Qiangli3,Weili4, Hongsong Zhu1,2 and Limin Sun1,2
    Wang et al. Cybersecurity (2019) 2:13 Cybersecurity https://doi.org/10.1186/s42400-019-0030-2 RESEARCH Open Access Towards IP geolocation with intermediate routers based on topology discovery Zhihao Wang1,2,HongLi1,2*,QiangLi3,WeiLi4, Hongsong Zhu1,2 and Limin Sun1,2 Abstract IP geolocation determines geographical location by the IP address of Internet hosts. IP geolocation is widely used by target advertising, online fraud detection, cyber-attacks attribution and so on. It has gained much more attentions in these years since more and more physical devices are connected to cyberspace. Most geolocation methods cannot resolve the geolocation accuracy for those devices with few landmarks around. In this paper, we propose a novel geolocation approach that is based on common routers as secondary landmarks (Common Routers-based Geolocation, CRG). We search plenty of common routers by topology discovery among web server landmarks. We use statistical learning to study localized (delay, hop)-distance correlation and locate these common routers. We locate the accurate positions of common routers and convert them as secondary landmarks to help improve the feasibility of our geolocation system in areas that landmarks are sparsely distributed. We manage to improve the geolocation accuracy and decrease the maximum geolocation error compared to one of the state-of-the-art geolocation methods. At the end of this paper, we discuss the reason of the efficiency of our method and our future research. Keywords: IP geolocation, Network topology discovery, Web landmarks, Relative latency, Statistical learning Introduction In general, IP geolocation methods locate a host with IP geolocation aims to determine the geographical loca- following procedures: tion of an Internet host by its IP address (Muir and Oorschot 2009).

  • Identification of IP Addresses Using Fraudulent Geolocation Data
    BENG INDIVIDUAL PROJECT IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING Identification of IP addresses using fraudulent geolocation data Supervisor: Dr. Sergio Maffeis Author: James Williams Second Marker: Mr. Dominik Harz June 15, 2020 Abstract IP geolocation information is used all over the internet, but is easily faked. A number of differ- ent internet organisations do this – from bulletproof hosting providers attempting to conceal the location of their servers, to VPN providers looking to sell services in countries they don’t have a presence in. Servers using fraudulent IP geolocation in this way may also be more likely to be hosting fraudulent content, making IP geolocation fraud important to detect in the context of in- ternet fraud prevention. In this project, a system has been developed for detecting this kind of IP geolocation fraud. The system developed in this report uses measurements from a global network of measurement servers – an array of 8 servers in 7 different countries managed by Netcraft, and over 10,000 servers in 176 countries through the RIPE Atlas API. Using this system we have analysed the prevalence of geolocation fraud in address space spanning over 4 million IPs, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest study of its kind conducted. Despite focusing on only a small part of the IPv4 address space, our analysis has revealed incorrect geolocation being used by over 62,000 internet hosts, targeting 225 out of the 249 possible country codes. In terms of address space, we have discovered incorrect geolocation being used by IP address blocks cumulatively spanning over 2.1 million IPs.

Co-Advisor Dr. Anderson Santana de Oliveira, SAP Labs, Mougins, France. Examiners Prof. Francesco Bergadano, Universit`adegli Studi di Torino, Italy. Prof. Luigi Vincenzo Mancini, Sapienza-Universit`adi Roma, Italy. Dr. Roberto Carbone, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy. Submission: 31st January 2017, Revision: 24th June 2017, Defense: 3rd July 2017 Abstract The prevalence of mobile devices and their capability to access high speed Internet have transformed them into a portable pocket cloud interface. The sensitivity of a user's personal data demands adequate level of protection in the cloud. In this regard, the European Union Data Protection regula- tions (e.g., article 25.1) restricts the transfer of European users' personal data to certain locations. The matter of concern, however, is the enforce- ment of such regulations. Since cloud service provision is independent of physical location and data can travel to various servers, it is a challenging task to determine the location of data and enforce jurisdiction policies. In this dissertation, first we demonstrate how mobile apps mishandle personal data collection and transfer by analyzing a wide range of popular Android apps in Europe. Then we investigate approaches to monitor and enforce the location restrictions of collected personal data. Since there are multiple entities such as mobile devices, mobile apps, data controllers and cloud providers in the process of collecting and transferring data, we study each one separately.

To technique because of its ability to geolocate the hosts where the best of our knowledge, no other research uses such an GPS or other techniques become ineffective or unavailable. intensive infrastructure of real Internet hosts. Analysis of the Measurement-based geolocation techniques utilize landmarks to make end-to-end delay measurements and compute the host collected data and the inferences on data have lead us to location based on delay to distance mappings. Fewer landmarks propose improvements on delay to distance mapping. This and/or inaccurate delay to distance mapping leads to large research contributes to IP based geolocation on three aspects. error margins. In this research an Adaptive-IP-Geolocation (AIG) Firstly, the observation that a distant landmark results in technique is proposed. AIG is based on PingER and PerfSonar a poor location estimate, is used and the landmarks as well worldwide deployments. Based on the analysis of PingER data, AIG uses two tier approach where tier one landmarks identify as targets are grouped into geographical regions. Secondly, the region of a target host.
