Find out the ip address of my friend's Minecraft server without him noticing.
Open the command line and then enter:
ping namedesminecraftserversyourfriends.operator.tld
I don't think that's possible. Is the server at home or did he rent it somewhere on the internet?
He rented it on the internet why?
Do you know the name of the server? Do you know where he rented it?
I only know where he rented it
Which point is true?
You have the normal address of the server (the one with letters) and now want to determine the IP address (the one with numbers) from it
You don't have the server address and the server is at his home
You don't have the server address, and he rented the server
Option 1 is simply via the command line or tools like Wireshark.
Option 2 goes with Wireshark if you are connected to each other via certain P2P services such as Skype. Alternatively, you can use an IP logger (fake link).
Option 3 is only possible through social engineering.
I will elaborate on whichever applies.
What use is that to you
As soon as you join on, he'll see you ingame.
Then you can't just find out about it on your PC. You either have to ask someone who has access or in a Minecraft from someone who is already on the server.
Apart from this. Maybe your friend has already blacklisted you so that you can't join at all, or generally only certain people can be on it. He'll see it as soon as you join the server.
