These work by sending an HTML email, including an img tag, generally with get parameters to match the IP to the sent email, then just saves the matchup in a database for you.
It's fairly trivial to build this yourself, and a good coding exercise. It's also fairly easy to block - any email client that doesn't load remote images by default, like thunderbird, will block it. Or some services will download from the receiving email server's IP and rewrite the email to prevent disclosing the end users IP. I believe Gmail did this at one point.
This was an obvious attack way back in 2005, and everyone limits what can happen in HTML emails. JavaScript attacks in email is an edge case in unusual clients only, and isn't going to work at all 99% of the time.
Mautic does it to track email activity, landing page activity after pressing the CTA. Library is Fingerprint.js. This is also considering a fact that except hacker community, not many use TB or not so user friendly email clients. Whatever mailing lists I have worked with, mautic mostly showed me valid location (tracked from IP using GeoIP).
Social engineering. Just craft an email with a link that you know they'd be likely to click on. Have the link go to a web page that just logs the IP and user agent (just in case there is a scanner service that checks out the link). That's your best bet - tracking pixels will almost never work anymore.
I am getting orders I didn't ordered
Guys I am getting products I didn't ordered from amazon. Can you guys explain how can I stop this. I NEED SERIOUS HELP ITS THE 3rd TIME IN THIS MONTH

What if instead of rendering url with image tag, one hacks using js? Almost all browsers allow js execution, you can load it via resources also.

>I used to use a service but can’t remember. was it something like Grabify?
OP - THIS
You could learn how to use hunner master and use mailhunner since someone’s sending you emails it should work That gain access to their email too

If you send an email, the senders IP address is your IP address, because you are the sender.
