Get IP address on other side audio call in Telegram.

Telegram get remote IP

New 2023 version written in python, against bash.

This script is intended to be used to determine the IP address of the interlocutor in the telegram messenger. You must have tshark installed to use it.

Working on MacOS, Linux and Windows.

Thx @WonderMr for adding Windows support and other improovements.

TechCrunch wrote about the utility — Telegram is still leaking user IP addresses to contacts

Attention! To determine the IP address, you must be in each other's contacts.

How to use?

1. Install Telegram desktop client on Linux or Mac.
2. Install tshark (sudo apt install tshark or download for macOS here, it's comes with wireshark).
3. Run script, call and wait for an answer.
4. Profit! You have received the IP address of the interlocutor.

Get & Run (Ubuntu 20 example)

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-venv tshark
$ git clone https://github.com/n0a/telegram-get-remote-ip
$ cd telegram-get-remote-ip
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ sudo python3 tg_get_ip.py

Or specify the interface immediately at startup:

$ sudo python3 -i en0 tg_get_ip.py

PS. Possible work with termux on android smartphones. Root authority is required to capture traffic.

Docker

Alternatively to the previous Ubuntu + pyenv way of running it, a Dockerfile is provided, just build it with:

$ docker build ./ -t telegram-get-remote-ip

And run it with:

$ docker run -it --cap-add=NET_RAW --cap-add=NET_ADMIN telegram-get-remote-ip

Doesn't work

It doesn't show the IP after the call on mac

Describe how Telegram calls work.

I think it works through a peer-to-peer setting, it's not okay to have each other's contacts. In Telegram Settings -> Privacy... -> Calls -> Peer-to-Peer, both the recipient and the listener must set Peer-to-Peer depending on the current relationship type such as Everybody, Contacts or Nobody to receive get the corresponding target IP address.

Telegram notes that: "Disabling peer-to-peer will relay all calls through Telegram servers to avoid revealing your IP address, but may decrease audio and video quality."

This explanation will help everyone better understand why the tool is not working as expected and how to make it work. This is a great tool.

Shows My info ?

It should output the target's information, not mine.

I run the script, then I call the target, but it outputs my IP, etc.

Unable to Use!!

It just shows "Capturing traffic, please wait..." after selecting interface and calling to a mutual contact in Telegram Desktop. Using Windows, downloaded all modules, what's the problem? Please help.

sudo python3 -i en0 tg_get_ip.py

Termux

Как запустить данную программу на Termux? Всё поставил, запускаю файл tg_get_ip.py, и выдаёт ошибку, что нет tshark, хотя этот пакет установлен

В чём может быть проблема?

Some call won't detect remote caller IP

I'm facing issue for some calls while
packet.stun.get_field_value('stun.att.ipv4') always returns None while calling
So no IP returns

Why it is needed to be in each other's contacts to determine the IP address?

I wonder why is it needed and does it mean that it's not possible for any strangers to find our IP address while in a call or on a voice chat in groups?
