Talk:Geolocation software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd love to know if anyone has seen any open source software that can do this..

GeoIP is an open source geolocation library. It works with a free database that looks up the country of an IP address.
IP2Location has a free version of geolocation library and database for IPv6.
ipligence.com Free Geolocation database project to locate IP addresses
[edit] Mac address
yes, for the protocol your statement is right, the mac addess is only needed to the next hop, however, mac address number, hdd unique number, external storage device numbers, motherboard unique numbers are also collected for validation like "genuine" and other reasons, the fact that these numbers can be retreaved by specific software makes them fit for geolocation software.

I agree with your opinnion, the article fails to explain clearly what different geolocation methods are out there and what works best for each one. Edcross 8 December 2006
