One of the most interesting lesson that i learn today is to make an exact replica of a website to get a user information. Mr. Kalpin our teacher that day show us how to duplicate a website. He duplicate a famous banking website in Indonesia, and show us how to attain the information of the user. When opening the website, the user will insert their information to the website which will then be given to us, and the website will redirect to the original banking website. This will make the user think that he/she has entered the wrong information and will not be suspicious of what happens.

I learn that to prevent this scam, everyone should always check their link when opening a website, be it from a known person or not. Because if they are not careful, they will send their personal information to a hacker which can then be used for many purposes.

Aside from that, we also learn to find the real ip address of a website that is given a front ip by cloudflare. One way to do it is by using crimeflare. Using this tool we will be able to find the real ip of a website.

We also learn to use a tool called DNStrails which can be used to find historical data about a website, the subdomain of the website. Another website similar to this website is robtex.com, the website can also be used to do various research on a website.

Here is the front page of DNStrails.

And here is the page that will appear once we search a website.

Lastly, i learn how to track an original location of an email via the ip address (in Gmail). First after opening the email, click on the message that you have received, then dropdown to “Show original”. After it is done, use control+F to search for a keyword which is “Received: from”. Once it is done, you will be shown the private ip address and the real ip address of the sender

Dropdown and click “Show original”

After searching, you will find the ip address

Another thing we learn about is viewing old webpages of a website. One way of doing this is by using archive.org.

This is the homepage of archive.org you can search the old pages of a website here.

Once we find a web, we can search for the pages in a specific dates. In this case, i’m searching for the pages of tokopedia in 8th April 2013
