Re: [Orb] OT ISP/IP question especially for Italians or speakers of Italian
How do I find the e-mail address associated with an IP or is this even possible?
The short answer to this is no. IP addresses and emails are not always linked, eg: someone uses email which is not linked to their service provider like with hotmail if they dont use MSN for their internet access... The long answer is: yes, it's technically possible, but only by employing large amounts of social engineering. Essentially you would have to ask the ISP who uses that IP address and then see if you can go from there. However, ISP's are loathe to give out customer information (and for good reason), so I would stick with the short answer.
