A Weeaboo's Doxing Guide

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.

Some common questions that people tend to ask:

Is doxing illegal?

No, no it is not. The thing is, when you dox someone, you just look up information that is available to the public on the internet, which pretty much means that it is public information. Therefore, not illegal, and if you want, you're free to compile it and use it for yourself. However, how you choose to obtain the information, as well as what you do with the information, is where it can get illegal. If you choose to hack into their accounts and obtain it from there, that is illegal. Also, if you choose to publish the obtained information, or share it with others, that is also illegal. Plus, a lot of websites are very against this, meaning that they will often ban you, if they find out you choose to dox someone of their members and what not.

I doxed myself? How do I undox myself?

Pls kill yourself.. :oscar:

Do I need anything to start doxing?

You really do not, honestly, doxing doesn't really require anything, other than having some brains and some common knowledge. When it comes to doxing, overall it really isn't too difficult, as most people tend to use the same usernames over and over, as well as the same e-mail. Anyone can really become a "doxer", the two things required to doing so, is your brain, and the stupidity of people.

What is doxing?

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.

Formatting your dox

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

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, you have to go out and find it yourself.

Talking to the person

Like what is the worst that can happen? Plus, the best way of obtaining information, is simply just by talking to the person, there is, of course a slight chance that the information the person giving you is false, I can easily just say that my name is Michael, I'm 27 years old and I live in Germany, of course, it's a possibility, which is why you're gonna try to verify the information later on. But a lot of people tend to and are willing to give out more information than they realize, as mentioned earlier, an important aspect of doxing, is the stupidity of people. Just keep in mind, don't ask too many questions in a row, don't be too persistent, and just talk casually, it'll give you a lot of valuable information.

Lookup their usernames

Ask into what games they play, ask what games they've played before, try to ask what server they were on, what guild they were in, but ask casually, pretend like you're trying to match it to see if you two may have encountered each other before on the game. A lot of games have forums and a lot of the guild recruiting happens on there, which is why this can be of help to you. A lot of forums also have public moderator applications, or just applications in general for a lot of different things, which a lot of people apply for, this is a goldmine if you happen to find one from your target.

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

I imagine you met the person through some online game or a forum of some sorts, maybe even through a guild, either way.. You met them somewhere and I doubt you're the only one who knows the person from wherever you crossed roads. They will most likely have other friends from there, talking to their friends can even help you out a bit, quickly make friends with your target's friends, and bring up your target as a subject, people love to talk about another person, you know.. Gossip.. People love it.

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

If you, per say, aren't really friends with your target, you hate each other, make a fake account or two. At one time I used five different accounts to get the information I wanted from a target. Took me a while and a bit of effort, but if you really want it, you can get it. But it might not be as easy as you want it to be. Pretending to be a girl for a short while though, it can be of huge help to you, if your target is some lonely and desperate teenager, they'll easily fall for a girl and give up a lot of shit. I even got one person to donate me a few CS:GO skins.. So.. Pretending to be a girl is not always that bad.

Social media

It really does not get any better than having their social media account, like, this can be Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, there's a ton of other social media things, but those three are the main ones. It'll give you a lot of valuable information, things such as pictures of the target, their name, age, information about their family and real-life friends (If they got any friends), and information about what they may do in their time off, besides school and work. It may even be able to tell you where they live. Also, if you're a girl or pretending to be a girl, then getting their Facebook is going to be a heck of a lot easier.

Skype

I mean, most people have Skype, so this is an easy way of doing it, using Skype to gain information on them. The most common method, is to resolve their Skype, there is a few possibilities here, using just a regular Skype resolver, will often provide you with their IP address, this can help you in locating where your target is from, given that they're not hiding behind a VPN / proxy, or have made their Skype unresolvable, as a lot of people have done these days. Another thing you can do, with most Skype resolvers, is do a database lookup, to see previous IP's associated with their Skype account, this is something not a lot of people think of, but it is a very accurate method that can give you some good results. A third thing, is that you can in rare cases, also lookup an e-mail, associated with their Skype account. If you are REALLY lucky, you may even be able to find their phone number on Skype as well, which is found on their profile. However, finding their e-mail and phone number through Skype, low chance of it, but it is possible and it does happen.

IP logging

There is a lot of IP logging websites out there and for good reasons, they have been blocked by a lot of forums and Facebook, however, blocking all IP logging websites out there, is near impossible, as a lot of them are quite clever in their way of working. There is invisible IP loggers out there, some that hide in pictures and a lot of others. Some of them even have a URL that looks almost identical to famous picture hosting websites, so sending them in a message over Skype, is often very effective. This will work well if their Skype is unresolvable. Just be good with words, have sent a few pictures before and disguise the IP logged picture somewhere between them. That'll throw them off guard.

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

Google is.. Truly a powerful weapon.. I mean, you can find just about anything on there, if you know how to search and what to search for. If you know how to use Google properly, there are no limits.. For example, if you have their Kik username, Snapchat or their Skype, you can search like "Kik: Weeeaboo" or "Skype: Weeaboo" and it will often bring up results, if you have put out your Skype, Kik or Snapchat out for people to add you. Try it with your own Skype and see if you get any results. This can help you locate their activity on other websites and may help you in acquiring some of their other usernames that they associate with. This is just one of many examples, I won't bother listing all the methods because there are thousands of ways to use Google, but I recommend you look up a tutorial on YouTube, because honestly, there is A LOT you can learn about Google that most people don't know of.

Pictures

If you have a picture of your target, maybe even just an avatar they use on a forum, you can reverse search it, this can be done on both Google and another popular website called Tineye, both of them can be used to reverse search a specific image, this can also help you in finding out if your target is using a false identity, of if they are indeed who they claim to be. The thing is on the internet, you never know if someone is real of if they are hiding behind a false identity. Using a false identity, will make it A LOT more difficult in tracking you down, and for your own sake, I almost suggest you use a fake identity.

E-mail

With an e-mail of the target, you can manage to do a few things, like look them up on for example Facebook and a few other social medias, you could Google their e-mail and see if they have put it up somewhere, as a lot of people are actually quite careless about hand out their e-mail. You could also go on PayPal and get some of their information from there. You can actually go on PayPal and go to Transfer, then click Request Payment, type in their e-mail and request a small amount of 0.01 $, that way you will be able to get a name of the person. However they will also be able to get yours, so I suggest using a fake PayPal or have someone else do it for you. You can also try to sell something to the person for cheap, like minecraft accounts, a hack for a game, whatever, but something that you know they'd be interested in. Sell it a lot cheaper than usual, you know a "friend discount". You can just refund the money and say that unfortunately it doesn't work, but you'll have been given their name and e-mail, which was the point of it.

RAT or keylog

This, is a bit of an extreme method, that I definitely do not encourage, as this is indeed very illegal. But at the same time, I can not ignore it due to the importance of this, for your own sake, you need to know how common and dangerous these two are. You basically convince your victim to download something of theirs, it can be a game, a mod, a hack, a song, a word document a picture, it can be anything really, in rare cases, you don't even need to download it, just visiting their website and through a javascript, your computer will automatically download and run it, without you knowing it. What they can then do, is extract all your passwords and files. With some good social engineering skills, it isn't that difficult to convince people to download either your keylogger or your RAT. In most cases, antivirus softwares won't even be able to pick it up, as they are crypted.

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.

Using the information

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.

IP address lookup

If you obtain the IP address of your target, you can use an IP address lookup website, which can tell you things about that specific IP, it can tell you what ISP the user has, if it's a proxy or not, what country it is in, in most cases, it can even tell you the correct city that the person is from, even the area code of the city. This will also help you in locating the correct target, if the person has a very common name, then knowing what city they are from, will help you greatly in finding the correct John Smith, since finding a John through the entire world is a bit difficult, but when it comes down to just one city, it'll help a lot.

Port scan

With an IP address, you can perform a port scan, and in rare cases, you can actually gain access to their router, as some routers allow their users to access the interface from outside of home, I'm really not sure why one would want such a thing.. But point is, you can. It is really funny to go in and turn their router off or perhaps even blacklist them from their own router. That shit is hilarious..

ISP doxing

ISP doxing, I'm sure most of you are probably already familiar with this, it has become a very common thing, if not.. I'll briefly explain to you. You can actually call their ISP, pretend that you're from some company, then provide the ISP with the name of the person you're trying to find, as well as their IP address, you can claim that they have given you a false address as well as a false phone number and they owe money to your company, so you need to get a hold of them. Often in cases like this, the ISP will hand you their phone number or address. However, you need to sound very convincing and have a good story behind it all. Social engineering, baby.

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

Let's say you did manage to get a hold of their address, a lot of websites allow you to sign up and receive stuff, for example there's newspapers and commercials, a lot of websites also do a service where you pay once you receive the product, which could be pizza, just one of many examples. Be creative and Google a bit, as this will depend a lot on where they're from.

Neighborhood services

Just about everywhere in the world, there are these great services that you can call, and then say you need something fixed. This could be a broken car, a smashed window, a broken toilet, a lawn you need mowed and a ton of other things, you should schedule these things to be as early as possible in the morning on a weekend. Make a ton of appointments, preferably at the same time for all of them. This could annoy the hell out of the person.

Free stuff

Many countries got these websites, where you can post that you're giving away some free stuff. Make up a good story that you'll be moving country and need all of your stuff gone, they just need to come and pick it up, trust me, doing something like this, will get a ton of people to show up. Tried this on one of my neighbors once to see how effective it was, in 48 hours the account on the website had received more than 150 messages, and at least a hundred people had shown up at their house for those two days. They eventually had to put up a sign explaining it was a prank to stop them.

[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

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.
