You'll be hard to find an Optus employee who will have access to do this, let alone will do it for you. What are you hoping to achieve by tracing the IP? Do you know if it's a static or dynamic IP, or if the person you're trying to trace is using a VPN?

I can see where this is going.

he has traced an ip and found it an optus net block.

thats as far as you can take it publicly.

guessing this person has attacked/hacked their servers.

I used to manage this process for our company.

so if it just attacks/scans you can notify the IP's abuse address with the logs and they will generally disconnect the user.

if they have hacked you, unfortunately you will need to go through a legal chance to subpoena the details.

Emts your pretty much on the ball..I'll give some brief detail.

I own a site and this person must know me in person. And is inpersonating me and writing abusive things and posting my mobile etc.his used the same I.p twice out of the 4 times posting

It's against the privacy act for an ISP employee to provide that information so either way you won't get far without formal legal action. If it's a serious incident then proceed, if it's just a punk impersonating you but not actually hacking in to your personal accounts or systems, then just laugh it off and move on. If the person is smart they wouldn't do anything that would get them in trouble from their own computer/network.... If all you have is an IP address - big deal. That doesn't equal the person you're looking for. I deal with attacks that come from random IP addresses and ASN's around the world and it's just not that simple to trace an IP address to an actual person. Whoever it is could be using someone elses network or computer and you wouldn't know. They could be using free wifi hotspots in the CBD. Good luck with that. But you might get lucky, some people aren't that smart.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
