A Weeaboo's Doxing Guide - チュートリアル
Welcome to a Weeaboo's doxing guide, this guide is made for a few reasons, one being with the intention of teaching you, how to find a specific person that you would happen to be looking for. Another reason is to teach you, how to cover your tracks and stay "anonymous". The best way for you to hide yourself, is by knowing what to hide and the only way to do that, is by knowing that to look for when finding others. I used to have to do with a small doxing service which taught me a lot of things, so now I'm here to teach you some of the things I know. I'm not going to claim to be the best doxer out there, but I do know quite a bit. I won't claim that this guide will make you an expert either, but it will definitely enhance your skills and may prove of good use to you.
Some things that knowing how to dox can be used for:
- Stalking someone you like / a crush.
- Knowing how to stay hidden and hide yourself.
- Knowing how to find someone who scammed you.
- Knowing how to gather information using the internet.
- Defending yourself against a potential hacker / scammer.
- Is doxing illegal?
- I doxed myself? How do I undox myself?
- Do I need anything to start doxing?
So with all that said, let's get started!
What is doxing? - ドキュメント
Doxing, basically means that you investigate or target a specific individual, you trace and gather information about someone. The information is acquired by using sources on the internet. Doxing can be used as a form of defense, which is mainly the way I use it, I rarely ever go out and target a specific person for no reason, I'll admit that sometimes I do, but it's rare. If someone comes up at me and "attacks" me for no reason, a good form of defense, is to be able to pull up their name, or even a picture of their house, taken from perhaps Google Maps / Street View and honestly, that is very effective.. They tend to never really bother you again. So doxing can be used as a good defense and give you a great advantage. Because as a lot of you already know, knowledge, is power.
Doxing can change a lot depending on where you are from, as well as where your target is from. It will be a whole lot easier if the two of you, happen to be from the same country. Also, if your social engineering skills are very good, then it will make the entire process a lot easier. Have you ever talked to the person? You can really gain a lot of information from someone, from just speaking with them for just 15 minutes. Have you gotten their name? Do you know where they're from? Their age? A picture? A number? Even the slightest bit of information can be of huge help to you.
However, as I mentioned, I'm not just here to try and teach you to defend yourself against someone, I'm also here to teach you how to hide yourself and cover your tracks. Keep in mind, doxing has a lot of steps, it's a long process, but each step will really just bring you closer to your target and provide you with a little more information.
Before you start a dox, it is extremely important how you choose to format it, for quite a few reasons. What I tend to do, I have a file saved with the format, I just open that file, put in the information I gain and save it as a separate file, then whenever I start another dox, I just open up the first file once more and repeat the process. A proper format can help you out a lot, first off, it'll stop a lot of confusion on your end, in my time, I've done a lot of messy doxes, which have confused the hell out of me, because there was no order in it or anything. Also, if you are to show the dox to someone else, you will appear a lot more professional if there is a proper order to it.
What I recommend you do, is use two files, one where you have your format, another file where you throw in all your acquired information, it'll be a bit messy in the one file, but when you put the information into your format, that's where you'll do the sorting of it. I always have two files when I try to find a target, I often put things such as chat logs, links to some posts / threads of theirs, some things that I believe may be associated with them, but may not be, so until I verify it, it stays out of my format.
A good software to use for this, that I strongly recommend, is Notepad++, if you download and try it out, you'll definitely see why. Overall it's just an amazing program that can be used for so so many things, and when it comes to sorting out multiple files, it's a lot better than the regular Notepad.

Information gathering - 採集
Alright, so I'm gonna assume you have acquired a target by now, or at least have someone in mind that you'd like to locate, so it's time to begin the information gathering, using the format that I provided you with, or perhaps even using your own, that is completely up to you. This can be done in a TON of different ways and I won't be able to cover all of them, however I'll try to cover some of the best and most common ways of doing so..
DO NOT and I repeat, DO NOT, trust any programs that are all like "Oh just download this program and put in their username here, it'll print out an entire dox with all the information you need and all their passwords", there's a lot of people who claim to have such similar programs, and as sad as it is.. A lot of people actually fall for this kind of scam, so I repeat, DO NOT trust this stuff.. That is not how doxing works, you will not just magically be handed all the information you wish to find, you have to go out and find it yourself.
- Talking to the person
- Lookup their usernames
Usernames can work as a great advantage for you, if someone uses an uncommon username like, xDesktroponator648, then looking up that username, it is guaranteed that anyone associated with that username, will be that one person, because who else would be using such a username? Unique usernames, not recommended, as that will make it very easy to track you down. Also, the longer that person has been using that username, the more likely there is to have been left behind a lot of footprints, which will be impossible for the person to erase. Using an uncommon, yet common username, Weeaboo, for example, will work as a huge disadvantage for you, if you were to try and look me up. Because you won't find anything, well you will, but nothing that relates or ties to me, you'll find thousands of different profiles and people..
- Associate with their friends
- Family
Associating with their family, is also a good move, and since you're gonna target their friends, why not go for the family as well? Chances are, that they may have a brother or a sister, who also happens to like video-games and what not, so if you can get a hold of their usernames, it may prove useful to you. Once again, people like gossip.. Also, having the target's family's information in your dox, is a good scare-trigger for the target.
- Use multiple accounts
Using multiple accounts can in a lot of cases come in very useful, for example having an extra Facebook account may help you a huge lot, let's say the victim has their Facebook profile set to private, so you won't be able to pull off any information really. What you can then do is try to add some of the victim's friend on your new account, this'll increase the chance of the victim being willing to add you a lot and once they add you, you can easily snoop around in their stuff. Myself, I actually have a fake Facebook account and made a page on it, for a "freelance photographer", the page has actually gotten 12 000 followers, which makes the account as well as the page look very legit. Most people actually have a dream of being approached by a photographer and become a model and what not. So sometimes I try to approach the victim and ask them to fill out this brief application and add some pictures. I basically let them do the doxing of themselves.. Funny thing is, it actually work a lot better than I thought it would.
You could try to do something similar, it doesn't have to be within photography or modelling, it can be anything really, be creative.
- Social media
- Skype
- IP logging
There is also a lot of softwares out there, that can help you with this, Cain and Abel for example, can help you with tracing an IP, it can track a target IP that is directly connected to you, which can be either through Skype or a lot of other softwares / games, it can even trace an IP through your console. So if you wish to use such a tool, I suggest you look it up, it is quite powerful if you are familiar with using it.
- Google
- Pictures
People tend to post the same pictures across multiple social medias, so let's say they take a picture and post it on Instagram, chances are that they will also want to share it on for example Facebook, or Twitter, you can easily use these pictures to be able to link and connect that person to multiple social media accounts. Reverse searching images are a blessing.
- E-mail
- Leaked databases
- RAT or keylog
Keyloggers will be able to extract all of your already saved passwords, as well as see EVERY key-stroke you hit and every website you visit, even in offline mode. It'll log it and send it to the person who keylogged you. A RAT will have a lot more features, such as see through your webcam, see everything you do on your computer, execute files on your computer, control your computer, delete files on your computer and download files from your computer. It literally takes control over your computer and once you have downloaded and run it, you better be fast about removing it. As it can cause some serious damage to your system.
Extras - エクストラ
For the heck of it, I'm gonna add an extra tab, where people who submit their suggested methods, will be added. You can post your suggestion either here on the thread or PM me it, and I'll add it to here. This is for stuff you think might be useful, a method that can help out and what not. So just a bunch of suggestions from you guys.
@Angel : If you're doxing Twitch streamers, I have a nice little tip for you!
If they're using twitch alerts as a donate option, just fill in the required fields, click ok. You'll end up in the paypall section. And if you look on the left side of the screen it should show the name of the streamer (if you're unlucky it probably is a business name).

Using the information - 情報
Once you feel you have acquired a substantial amount of information, you want to put it to actual use, correct? Well, there are A LOT of things you can use the dox to, I don't personally know for what reason you want to dox someone, and frankly it is none of my concern, I do not wish to know, so keep me out of it. However, it is good for you to know what can happen to you if someone decides to target you, which is why I'm gonna share with you, what this stuff can be used to, and why it's necessary for you to keep vital information to yourself.
- Threaten the person
- Blackmailing
- Contact their parents
- IP address lookup
- Port scan
- ISP doxing
You could also pretend to be the actual person who owns the internet, you can call in and ask what is wrong with your internet. Claim that it keeps going up and down, slow speed, disconnecting, when they then ask your name, you should have it ready, some details ready, just give them your IP and ask them to check it for you. Often they'll try to restart the router for you, you can then say something along the lines of "Nothing is happening here on my end?" "Are you sure you're checking the right address?", in some cases, I've actually had them try to verify the address for me, and I'm all "Yeah that's correct, that's my address". What you just need to do, is be very polite, address the person you talk to by their name. Also, pray and hope that you get a hold of someone who's either a little stupid, an older male or even a female. The thing is, they tend to be a little more open, a bit nicer, while younger men are often a bit more aware of things like this, and will not just hand out information as easily.
- Send stuff to their address
- Neighborhood services
- Free stuff
[spoiler=The no fun stuff]
A small list of things that are very illegal as well as very dangerous, for obvious reason, I won't tell you how to do this in details, but I will give a small description of how it works and what can happen. I really hope you do not try to do this stuff, as some of it can actually cause some serious harm to people, in bad cases, it may even cause the death of someone..
SWATTING / bomb threats: Involves a SWAT team to get called in, due to an anonymous report, they will be heavily armed and willing to kick down doors, they are even allowed to shoot on sight, if they believe something isn't how it should be. In most cases they will even evacuate an entire block or two, surrounding the victim's apartment, so it will also be very expensive. You can face some serious charges if you are caught doing this.
Drug-bust: Pretending to be the victim and act as if you're selling drugs, this can get the person's home raided by the police and may actually get the person thrown in jail for some hours while they're investigating the incident.
Deep web: Well.. The deep web, I'm sure you're somewhat familiar with it and what it has on it, you can order stuff from there and have it sent to the person's home. It will require you to actually pay for the products, of course, but you can have it sent to the person. It can be anything from hookers, to weapons and to drugs..
There's a lot of other things, that I do not wish to cover because some of it is just too messed up. [/spoiler]
Useful resources - リソース
There is a lot of useful resources out there that are completely free, that I'll gladly share with you, I'll add a brief description of what it does and how it works and I'll try and sort it out as best as I possibly can. There are of course a whole ton more and some of them are limited to just one country only. If you're looking for some target in a specific country, I recommend you do your own research, as most countries do actually have a website used to look up people, but it changes depending on where they're from. It'll be almost impossible for me to list all of them for you.
[spoiler=Username lookup] There is A LOT of username lookup websites out there, so I won't be covering all of them, most of them are free as well, so honestly there's no point in even paying for some of the services, honestly, you could get the same results just by Googling.
Namechk - Basically what this one does, is that when you type in a username, it'll then match it up with a ton of websites and social networks, the ones that shows green, are the ones that are available, meaning that there is no such match on there. If it is unavailable, it means the username has been taken, in other words, it's a place that you should check to see if your victim is there.
Knowem - This one goes under the same principle, that it shows which are available and which aren't. The difference is that, this one can search A WHOLE LOT MORE, I'm talking 500+ social networks, websites and what not. You can even choose categories, so you don't have to sit and wait for all 500 to load, you can just choose the ones you believe your victim may be using.
Namecheckr - This one actually allows you to go and visit the profile, unlike the others. You don't have to manually go onto the social network and lookup the user, just click the box and it'll take your directly to the target.
A few extras:
Usersearch
Usersherlock
Checkusernames
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=WHOIS] All of these are just tools, made for the purpose of looking up a certain domain name, e-mail or an IP address. They really don't deserve any other explanation other than that, they may not come in very useful for you, as they'll only really be useful to you, if the person you're trying to DOX happens to run a website. The only part that may come in useful, is the e-mail and IP lookup, but there is some better ones shared below.
Whois.domaintools - My favorite of all of these. It has a TON of features, easy to use. But of course some of it is paid for, so keep that in mind. But honestly this website is worth it.
Who.is - Domain name and IP address
Statsinfinity - Domain name, word, e-mail address and nameserver.
Whois
Icann
Whois.net
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Reverse image]
Google - Google, one of the best tools for anything, really. This allows you to either upload an image or just use a link to an image. It is very accurate.
Tineye - My go-to after Google, sometimes Google won't find anything, however, don't get your hopes down just yet, Tineye is also very good, and sometimes it'll challenge even Google, I have often tried where I don't get the results I'd want on Google, but then Tineye is there to help me out and gets me the results I want.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Skype resolvers]
Skype Resolvers are truly valuable when it comes to doxing, it's almost a must for you if you are gonna dox someone, getting their IP, I mean honestly that's the least you can do.. But there are other ways of getting the IP, than just using a Skype resolver. But let's focus on Skype resolvers for now. Most of the Skype resolvers, are also improving their methods, which means they come with a bunch of extra features, such as IP loggers, Cloudflare resolvers, Geolocators, etc.
Skypegrab - If you are familiar with Skype resolvers, you definitely know this one, as this is probably the main one, everyone just knows this one. I mean it has all the features you need, really.. Regular IP resolver, database lookup, e-mail to Skype, IP to Skype and of course, Skype to e-mail. Probably the # 1 Skype resolver.
SKResolver - A very popular one as of late and has grown with new and improved features. It has a regular resolver, with the feature of showing multiple IP's, IP to Skype, Skype to LAN and some extra features.
Hanzresolver - This one comes with features such as Skype resolver, e-mail to Skype, Tinychat resolver, domain resolver, IP to Skype, geolocation. Plus it is working on a bunch of new features that will soon be added.
A few good mentions:
Mostwantedhf
Orcahub
Resolvethem
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=IP logger]IP loggers are extremely common, especially since a lot of people are familiar with making their Skype unresolvable, but there are of course other ways to obtain their IP, which is with IP loggers. You basically disguise a link as something else, meaning you redirect their traffic for a split second, they'll visit another website so quickly without evening noticing it, and you'll have obtained their IP. A really simple and effective process. The link you choose to disguise, can be anything, it can be a link to a website, a game you both play, to Facebook or just to a picture. They're all very simple to use and doesn't really need an explanation.. Some of them even have a video explaining how to do it..
Grabify
Blasze
Skypegrab
SKResolver - Requires a login
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=IP lookup]
Once you obtained an IP from your target, performing an IP lookup is almost a must, I mean, that should have been the goal, finding out where they're actually from and to see if their IP is actually real, or just a proxy / VPN. There is a lot of ways you can do that, as most IP lookup websites will be able to tell you if it's a home IP or a proxy.
Whatsismyipaddress - I really like this one and I've used this one for a loooong time. Also the most accurate one I've used, when it comes to locating where they're actually from.
A few other good ones:
Infosniper
IP-lookup
Whatismyip
Whatstheirip
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Social networks]
The internet is full of these.. So here's a list of some of the most popular social networks out there, in case you're not very familiar with them all. Just to make it a little easier and so that you'll know where to search for your target. Of course, there is a ton more than just the ones I linked here.
Myspace
Tumblr
DeviantArt
Xanga
Blogger
Yasni
Twoo
About
Flickr
Yahoo
Stumbleupon
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Archives]
The internet archive.. Learn how to use this, this can come in very useful, in case of websites having been taken down, it can help you with finding out more things about your target. Websites do get taken down once in a while, and this, is why the internet archive exists.
Archive
Archive-it
Archives
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=People lookup]
So finally, looking up the actual person, this is the part that can be a little bit tricky for a few reasons.. One, the person may not be above the age of 18, just taking a guess, but most likely not, therefore they won't actually appear on most sites.. It'll at least be very difficult to actually get any info on them, like an address or a phone number. Instead, what you can do, is try to aim for their parents, see if you can get their name and then look them up instead.. Two, it really depends on where they're from.. The websites I'll be sharing, is mainly just for the US, if you want to look someone up in Germany, Russia, Sweden or w.e., you'll have to find those websites yourself. Almost every country does have something similar, you just gotta know where to find them.
Advancedbackgroundchecks - Background, address, phone and e-mail
USSearch - E-mail, social network, property, name, address, phone and criminal records
Radaris - Phone, address, name, business and properties
Pipl - Worldwide search, very accurate and very good, can look up a lot of things
Peekyou - Another worldwide one, also pretty good, but still not the best
Numberway - Worldwide phone lookup
Yellowpages
Publicrecords
Skipease
Zoominfo
Jailbase
[/spoiler]
The End - 終わり
Or is it?..
I hope that this guide has been useful to you and that it has taught you a few things. A lot of this information is actually necessary for people to know, in order to remain hidden from those trying to find out, plus it'll serve as a great method for you to defend yourself against certain people. Because let's face it, the internet is full of assholes. It sure took a while to write all of this though, so I hope you can put it to use.
If you do have any questions, anything you'd like to know, do not hesitate to ask, if you wish to keep it private, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message as well, I'll be happy to respond and try to help you out. Maybe if you even feel like I missed a step or there's something I should add / update, I'll gladly do that too. Just leave a comment below.
A little something something before ending this:
[hide cost="8"]
This stuff I wish to keep to Demonforums members only. As I mentioned earlier in this guide, there is a lot of leaked databases around, and some of the websites that gets leaked, are actually quite large and very popular. Well, these databases are shared among people and some of them are kept private, as they often contain some very valuable information. They will then sell on the information and stuff like that, can actually sell for a huge price. However, a lot of it, is also shared on certain websites, that specify in this stuff, they will then crack the passwords and share them with the users who have a subscription going on their website.
The purpose of these websites are "You may only use this tool for your own personal security and data research. You may only search information about yourself, or those you are authorized in writing to do so. Searching information on others is strictly prohibited. In the event somebody else shares the same username or full name as yourself, you must delete any data of theirs that is displayed." In other words, you can go on there and see if your information has been leaked and if it has, you can have it removed. Plus it is then recommended you change your passwords. Of course, not for free though.
There's a lot of websites out there, that specify in this, leaked databases, one of them, probably the most popular one as well, is Leakedsource It has a HUGE collection of databases and each week there is new databases added to it. Of course this is not free in any way. But it is HIGHLY suggested that you do actually check out some of these leaked databases, as there is a huge risk / chance your stuff has been leaked, if you use the internet a lot. You can search up your username, e-mail, IP address, real name and phone number to match with any leaked data.
This is a bit of a far step into doxing, stealing accounts, however with websites like Leakedsource, it has sadly become way too easy. A lot of people who dox are aware of this website, therefore the people who wish to defend themselves against those people, need to be aware of it too. Then once in a while, match to see if your information has been leaked, if so, then you should definitely consider changing your information. Yes, I do have an account on Leakedsource and yes, I do use it quite regularly. I actually found out that some of my information had been leaked, so I went on there to check and true enough, two of my passwords has been exposed, as well as IP's and e-mails, so I quickly decided to change them and ditch some of my old accounts / information.
Referral to support me: Leakedsource /Will gladly remove referral if the staff team does not approve of this./
None-referral: Leakedsource
Skidbase - Allows free searches to certain databases. However it has way less databases and information than Leakedsource, so honestly, it doesn't even compare.. Plus it's far more expensive.
The reason I deem it necessary to share this website, is mainly to serve as a warning. This website does contain A LOT of passwords, a lot of usernames and a lot of e-mails. I mean the amount of leaked records on there is insane. Last time I checked, which was a long time ago, it had a minimum of 490,000,000 records, which is 490 million.. That was somewhere at the end of 2015, and weekly, it gets at least a few hundred thousand extra records or more. So as a warning, you should definitely check it out to see if your stuff has been leaked on there.
A recommended thing for you, is 2-step verification, as a lot of websites and games these days support, which is great and a lot more secure. Honestly, there isn't any reason as to why you wouldn't want to do this. Sure it takes a little longer to sign in, however, it'll stop you from getting hacked.
