I didn’t see the answer I know of so I’m posting.
1. If someone is harassing you online in a way that is criminal, you can trace them back to their IP address. This can be done using an IP Trap to get their IP and then supplying the IP address to a cyber crime division. Example: if you’re 12yo sister is being advanced towards by a grown adult, you can get their IP address and report to Perverted-Justice along with online contact info.
2. One thing you can do with an ip address is connect to a server using a client. If you’ve heard of being “RAT’d” or an “undetectable server” this is what it’s referring to. Once you get someone to open a file you send them that has a server “bound’ inside of it, the next step is to connect to the server to get information such as a keylog. So, to be RAT’d, someone needs you to run a server.exe that doesn’t get caught by antivirus/firewall AND they need to be able to connect somehow to get info from you. Frank Abagnale explains this process in more detail.
