The Basics
What is doxing?
Doxing is basically finding out information about a person. The vast majority of people on the internet are anonymous and with anonymity comes power because you cannot hurt the physical person behind the username.
Doxing takes away this power, that is why people will go to extreme lengths to make sure they remain anonymous.
However, the internet stores information from decades ago. Almost everyone can be found on the internet if you know what to look for.
What Are You Looking For?
Anything and everything. The main goals of doxing are to find out;
- Real Name
- Address
- Phone Number
- Parent's Names
- Parent's Jobs
- Place of Education (School/University etc.)
- Job
- Relatives
With these you have power of the person you are doxing. However you are not limited to this. Look for absolutely anything on the person.
