We determine the location without IP

Yes, you heard right, we don’t need an IP address. We will not try to "break through IP" by stupidly inserting an IP address on a site like 2ip.ru to find out the city and threaten to come)) Our task is different.

We will find out the exact location of the user, accurate to home, from the moment he clicks on our link.

This method is based on a combination of JavaScript and HTML5. If in a simple language, programming languages (although with html a moot point).

I must say that it will not always work. It will work well if the user is behind the screen of a laptop or phone, as well as his browser will be configured in a standard way. Since this method is tailored specifically for these devices, we determine the coordinates via gps, wi-fi and cell towers, and the standard browser setting allows you to request the exact location.

There is such a function in browsers - location determination. Let's say you go on the Yandex and Google map, and you can determine your location. This is what we will use.

This thing called geolocation API, who wants to know more, you can google and read the official articles)

There is a ready-made script for Linux that allows you to use it, it is called TrackUrl.

Link to github

I will show by my example. I will use Kali Linux.

Download and run the standard commands by opening the terminal:

Download:

 git clone https://github.com/zanyarjamal/TrackUrl 

 cd https://github.com/zanyarjamal/TrackUrl

At the time of publication, this URL is no longer working
[DLMURL] https://github.com/zanyarjamal/TrackUrl [/ DLMURL]
maybe he moved here
[URL="https://github.com/cryptomarauder/TrackUrl"] cryptomarauder / TrackUrl [/URL]
but so far this is not verified information

Run:

./TrackUrl.sh

After launch, we will have two windows. The first window will be with two links (we need to choose the one that we will send to the person whose location we want to determine in the future), the second empty one with the name of the script.

In the second window, we need to insert the link from the first window. Since 2015, for security reasons, the transfer of geolocation has been banned over an unsecured connection (http), so choose https. Just copy and paste. After that, a third window will appear.

All is ready. Now send our link to the person we want to calculate. After that, its coordinates will appear in this form (latitude and longitude):

Then we just drive them into Google maps and look at the address.

So here you are friends, carefully follow unfamiliar links.
