Retrieve public IP

[z0ny]

Here's a command that shows your public IP, no matter whether you're behind a router: :)

 

Code:

wget -q www.whatismyip.com && grep displaycopy index.html|cut -d\' -f2 && rm -f index.html

kick ass man, thanks

[anyweb]

the above scrfipt doesnt seem to work anymore, perhaps because www.whatismyip.com have changed their code, (looking in index.html tells you to use a different url)

 

so i modified it slightly so now it reads

 

Code:

wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp

 

which does display the ip but it's badly formatted,

 

 

[anyweb@localhost ~]$ wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp81.235.240.204[anyweb@localhost ~]$

 

so who can tidy it up ?

 

 

 

cheers

so who can tidy it up ?

 

Code:

$ wget -q http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - && echo

 

Done

I updated the command ;)

 

Code:

elinks --dump www.whatismyip.com | grep -i "Your IP Is" | awk '{ print $4 }'

[znx]

I updated the command ;)

 

Not to sound a bit funny but why update the command when mine still works just perfectly? Also you are using the main URL which anyweb has already pointed out doesn't wish automation!

 

Code:

$ wget -q http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - && echo

 

Still works fine!
