Tracking an IP (Internet Protocol) address involves the process of identifying and tracing the numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses are crucial for routing data packets across the internet, allowing devices to communicate with each other. Here's an overview of IP address tracking:

IP addresses come in two main formats: IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) and IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). IPv4 addresses are usually represented as four sets of numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 addresses are longer and use hexadecimal notation.
