The first thing for a hacker is to know more about a particular <code>IP</code> for this he may use tools such as <code>nmap</code> which is used for <code>port scanning</code>, <code>OS fingerprinting</code> and know what <code>services</code> target is running.
For some cases you may require to know that where exactly your target lives i.e Location, i know in some cases target may be using <code>VPN</code> which may led you to wrong information. but these may be useful if our target is not using <code>VPN</code>.
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
#test.sh
read -p "Enter Target's Public IP : " ip;
curl https://ipinfo.io/$ip
</code></pre>the above command is simple it just talks to the sites API and get the information back in <code>JSON</code> format
lets have a Example here
<pre><code>user@kali~$ chmod +x test.sh
user@kali~$ ./test.sh
Enter Target's Public IP : 51.68.152.226
{
 "ip": "53.68.156.226",
 "city": "Stuttgart",
 "region": "Baden-Württemberg",
 "country": "DE",
 "loc": "48.7823,9.1770",
 "org": "AS31399 Daimler AG",
 "postal": "70173",
 "timezone": "Europe/Berlin",
 "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth"
}
</code></pre>Ok the above command gets results which contains location,region,city etc...
well i am also using a <code>VPN</code> so the information here is not correct. if you check it with your public IP
then it might be correct.

The first thing for a hacker is to know more about a particular `IP` for this he may use tools such as  `nmap` which is used for `port scanning`, `OS fingerprinting` and know what `services` target is running.

For some cases you may require to know that where exactly your target lives i.e Location, i know in some cases target may be using `VPN` which may led you to wrong information. but these may be useful if our target is not using `VPN`.

```
#!/bin/bash
#test.sh
read -p "Enter Target's Public IP : " ip;
curl https://ipinfo.io/$ip

```
