What does doxing mean?

Doxing or doxxing is a technique of tracing someone or gathering information or details about an individual using the various sources available on the internet. Word ‘doxing’ is derived from ‘documents’, ‘docs’. It entirely depends upon the ability of an individual to gather information and recognize even a tiny bit of information as valuable and use it in his/her benefit. Using various sources and data, leaked information, etc available on the internet, you can find personal details of a person. So, doxing someone is quit popular among hackers and law enforcement. It’s like, the more you know about your enemy, the easier it becomes to find his/her flaws.

remember that doxing someone is illegal and we are not responsible for what you do.

How police and hackers find details about someone

Well, police and hackers have their own way to dox someone but they have lots of common way. Police can check on their database about criminal’s profiles or in other databases bided by law but hackers don’t have such access. If the police don’t have a record in their databases or files then the way they perform is similar to hackers.

You can design a doxing template according to the information you want. The basic format of data or details you need to acquire to dox someone is given below:

  1. Personal information
  • Name:
  • Date of birth:
  • Phone number:
  • Email:
  • Facebook:
  • Youtube:
  • Twitter:
  • Skype/Instagram
  • Other:

2. Additional information

  • Picture of an individual:
  • IP Address:
  • Hobbies:
  • Friends:
  • Other:

3. House address

  • Address:
  • City:
  • State:
  • Zip:
  • Country:
  • Occupation:
  • Other:

4. Information about family member(Optional)

  • Name:
  • Date of birth:
  • Occupation:
  • Email:
  • Phone number:
  • Picture:
  • Facebook:
  • Other:

This is a template that you fill by doxing someone. You can dox someone according to the information you needed. For hackers above information will be enough for doing fraud activities and for law enforcement, those information will be enough to identify and pull out someone.
