Hello All,
I was searching for firewall testers and came across this link.

This link tells you what information your pc gives to the website.
It shows the ip address which is quite normal, but it also gives an
area map of where you are located within Mumbai using google maps.
I am not even on the map which displayed half of mumbai. It does not
even show prabhadevi where the mtnl gateway is located.
There could be one possibility that the map is just a starting point.
Using the drag hand, you can access the entire city. I noticed that later.
How does it locate? it's called geoip afaik - a database of ips sorted
by country and city and dont forget to draw a suitable large map.
Hmm.
