Abstract
The techniques herein describe an approach that can quickly geolocate Internet users that are connected through a wireless (e.g., WiFi) network. To do so, one or more embodiments herein send specially-crafted signals to the user's IP address. When these signals are broadcast by the user's wireless router to the user's wireless device, they have a discernible signature. Other geolocation efforts may then be used to scope the Internet user's location (e.g., to the appropriate city or section of a city). A user or automated device may then physically traverse (e.g., drive through) the search area listening on wireless channels for the discernible wireless signature. Once it is located, directional antennas and triangulation may be used to exactly locate the user.
