WhatsApp OSINT: How to Find an IP Address During a Call (Wireshark Tutorial)
Ever wondered if it's possible to find someone's public IP address just by calling them on WhatsApp? In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of WhatsApp OSINT to show you exactly how network analysis works in real-time.
Join us at CavemenTech as we break down the mechanics behind WhatsApp's peer-to-peer connection process. We explore the STUN protocol (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and demonstrate how to use Wireshark to capture the "Golden Packet" containing a target's IP address. You'll learn how to take a digital data point (an IP) and map it to a real-world geographical location.
As a bonus, we also cover a secondary OSINT technique for extracting publicly available information from WhatsApp Business accounts using specialized reconnaissance tools.
What You Will Learn:
The STUN Protocol Explained: How devices discover and share public IPs for direct connections.
Wireshark Setup: How to filter network noise and isolate STUN traffic using the WhatsApp Desktop app.
Live Demonstration: Step-by-step capture of a STUN "Binding Request" during an active call.
IP Geolocation: How to use IP lookup tools to approximate a target's location and ISP.
Bonus Reconnaissance: Gathering open-source intelligence on public business numbers.
