How to Trace Hackers

Ever wondered how hackers function and what you can do to find someone that is hacking into your system. Read through the following article for some answers.
If you want to know how to trace hackers then you will find some answers in the following paragraphs. The first thing that they need, to be able to get into your system is your IP address. One way that can get your IP address is from the header information from emails that you send. Included in header information is the IP address of where the email is being sent from and once they have this they can access you.
Since there are now two kinds of IP addresses, the static and dynamic, hackers are generally able to access people with static IP addresses or using DSL lines. So if you are operating with dynamic IP addresses hackers are of little concern to you.
One way of how to trace hackers is to use a tool referred to as the NETSTAT tool. Using this tool you will be able to see who is connected to you. On your PC go to start, click programs, choose MSDOS prompt and then type in "netstat -a". There must be a between the last t and the a'. The screen will then display a list of active connections. It will show a local address, that is the address of your PC and the ones that they say foreign address are the ones that are connected to you.
There are various NETSTAT commands that will help you understand the workings of your network better. If you want to know how to trace hackers, I recommend that you learn as many of these commands as you can. Once you know them, then you are set.
