on your purchase so go ahead check out dashlane the link will be in the description below so in this video i'm going to show you how hackers manage to get the exact location of someone by using simple social engineering [Music] please remember that whatever i show you in this video is intended for educational purpose only do not try this on someone without their consent if you want to get your hands dirty then just try it on yourself at the end of the day it's your intent that matters what you decide to do with the knowledge you acquire so be responsible do not do anything bad or illegal now usually when you hear someone talking about tracking location of someone on the internet you think about ip address an ip address in the most simplest terms is your location on the internet it is where internet apps can find you on the internet and can communicate with you and that is how you are able to access the websites or different internet services if someone has your ip address they can map it to a physical location where it is originating from and can potentially end up finding your actual location on the globe but this is not always the case internet service providers provide you connection to the internet behind a network address translation device or in other words nat this means that you share the same ip address with multiple other people and when you try to map your ip address into its physical location you end up getting the location of your isp and not your actual location so there must be a more efficient way of getting someone's location on the internet and there is it's called gps or global positioning system so basically how it works is that your location can be retrieved by using satellites that's right satellites here's the thing in order for gps to work there must be a gps component installed on your device if you're using a smartphone like any smartphone and there will definitely be a gps component already integrated in your smartphone but that's not always the case with a laptop or a pc some laptops have gps hardware and some simply do not so the trick i'm going to show you in this video works best with smartphones so we're going to use a tool called seeker basically what it's going to do is it serves a fake page that requests for location access and and if the location access permission is granted and the target device has gps then we will be able to get the exact latitude and longitude position of that particular target device this tool only works on linux so if you're on windows you have two options the first option is to use dock of a desktop and pull the docker image of this tool and use it without any issues and the second option you have is to use windows subsystem for linux or wsl for short and install any distro that you like in order to install wsl on your windows pc just go to settings apps programs and features turn windows features on or off scroll down and enable windows subsystem for linux and then restart your pc now go to the microsoft store and search for any linux distro of your choice and install it i will be using ubuntu in this video once the installation is complete you should be able to use the linux distro as a windows app open it and you will see a terminal like this finish setting up your disk row by choosing the username and password you can also use your linux distro directly from windows terminal just click on the down arrow and choose the distro you want to use the reason why i use it with windows terminal is because it's easier to open new tabs anyway now simply clone the tool from github the link will be in the description below or you can even alternatively download the code as a zip file and then extract it now simply cd into the source code directory and then run install dot asset script with sudo privileges and that's it all the requirements for the script to run are nav installed now to start the script just type python seeker dot pi space dash d space manual now you can see different templates that you can choose from these are basically the different type of fake pages that are used to lure the victim you can choose any template you like but i'll choose the google drive template and it asks me for a google drive file url so i'll just give it a url of a sample file stored on my google drive and then it says php server status success now this will start a local http server that can only be accessed inside your network in order to make it accessible over the internet we'll use a tool called ngrok go to ngrok.com and download ngrok for linux using wget unzip it and then run this command ng-rock space http space 8080. this will create a tunnel from your local host port 8080 to the ngrok service and you will be provided with nngrock.io url this is the url using which you can make anyone on the internet access your fake page so i will open this link in my smartphone and let's see what happens as you can see it shows a webpage that says you need permissions to access the file shared on google drive and if you click request access it prompts for location access permission once i click hello my gps coordinates are sent back to the seeker script that is running on my linux distro so if i go back to my terminal i can see the latitude and longitude information and also a google maps link which if you open will locate the target device on google maps based on the gps coordinates that are retrieved using the fake google drive page the location is accurate to approximately 30 meters of the actual physical location of the target which is really close right and that will be all for this video thanks for watching i hope you liked this video if you did like it please don't forget to leave a thumbs up below and also if you have any feedbacks or any doubts make sure you comment down in the comment section below i'll try to go through all your comments and reply as soon as i can so thanks for watching once again i'll see you in the next video until then cheers
