how to trace a hacker

This is a nice beginners tutorial that tells you how to trace people who try to break into your computer. It covers lots of explanations to questions like “How do these people find their victim?” and “What the phrases TCP/UDP actually mean”.

It explains the netstat command which shows all connections to your computer and how to interpretate them. After that the tracert command is explained which traces a connection. Finally it gives information on dns, how to lookup a ip and get the host of the connection.

It´s a useful tutorial that everyone who does not understand this concepts should read. It does not explain proxies which most hackers nowadays use. A tracert would lead to the proxy but not to the hacker himself.
