HOW TO TRACING AN EMAIL

-
HOW TO TRACING AN EMAIL In the following steps you'll learn how to find and copy an email header and paste it into the Trace Email Analyzer to get the sender's IP address and track the source. Would you like to track down (or trace) where an email that you received came from? This Trace Email tool can help you do precisely that. It works by examining the header that is a part of the emails you receive to find the IP address. If you read the IP Lookup page, you'll get a clear idea of what information an IP address can reveal. (A header is the unseen part of every sent and received email. To learn a little bit more on headers, click here. You can see an example of a header at the end of this article.) What email provider do you use? To find the IP address of a received email you're curious about, open the email and look for the header details. How you find that email's header depends on the email program you use. Do you use Gmail or Yahoo? Hotmail or Outlook? For example, if you're a Gmail user, here are the steps you'd take: 1. Open the message you want to view 2. Click the down arrow next to the "Reply" link 3. Select "Show Original" to open a new window with the full headers Note: We are in the process of compiling instructions from a variety of popular webmail services and email applications. In the meantime, if you have a question about your email provider, please post it in the Email Tracing Forum. STEPS TO TRACING AN EMAIL: 1. Get instructions for locating a header for your email provider here 2. Open the email you want to trace and find its header 3. Copy the header, then paste it into the Trace Email Analyzer below 4. Press the "Get Source" button 5. Scroll down below the box for the Trace Email results! You should know that in some instances people send emails with false or "forged" headers, which are common in spam and unwanted or even malicious e-mail. Our Trace Email tool does not and cannot detect forged e-mail. That's why that person forged the header to begin with! Whois: The IP address 173.243.0.0 appears to have been assigned by the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). ARIN is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the United States, Canada, and several islands in the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean.

OSI MODEL (Open Systems Interconnection model )

To Day I Explain OSI MODEL,   Open Systems Interconnection model  ( OSI ) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into  abstraction  layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), maintained by the identification ISO/IEC 7498-1. The model groups communication functions into seven logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer.  The Below Shown Diagram is helpful to understand the OSI seven Layer Model. OSI MODEL EXPLANATION Th...
