Information
Brian's Xbox IP Resolver (Gamertag2IP) is a script created in Python that will come with a preexisting database so you won't need to create one and add information to it. The main database will receive updates every so often. Since the main database already has information in it you can begin searching right away. You can search for a Xbox users IP Address, XUID, and Machine ID (MID) with just their gamertag from the main database if available. The script also allows users to create their own databases too! You can contribute to the main overall database by submitting your database to the developer to be merged together or they can share their database online for others online to use.
The main database is created on the developers side which works by using the IP log (iplog.txt) file generated by ApparitionNET when logging IPs, other ways to import from a ip log file are planned. Once the file is created it is dropped into the scripts root and the script uses that to create or add that information to a new/existing database. Data can also be entered manually as well if needed.

How Tos
Below will be a list of tutorials that should help you learn how to use Brian's Xbox IP Resolver. Tutorials ranging from searching a database to creating and submitting one to the developer.
Searching A Database
Searching any database made for Brian's Xbox IP Resolver is very easy. Just download the database file that ends in .db and drop that into the scripts root folder and the script should recognize it and allow you to select it in the database list. You can also create a database using the "Create Database" option and insert some records and then search that database.
Searching a database is easy just start the script up and choose the first option which should be "1" after selecting this you will be asked to select the database you want use. After selecting the database you can freely search that database for a Xbox users IP, XUID, and Machine ID with their gamertag.
Using The Script | Example
>>> python main.py>>> 1. Search Database>>> 2. Create Database>>> 3. Insert Into Database>>> 4. Edit Database>>> 5. View Database>>> 6. Merge Two Databases>>> 7. Delete Database>>>>>> Please pick a option above by entering the number: 1>>>>>> - backup.db>>> - database.db>>> - old.db>>> - example.db>>>>>> Database Name (without .db): backup>>> Searching Database: backup.db>>>>>> Gamertag (case sensitive): TestUser123>>>>>> ID: 2>>> Gamertag: TestUser123>>> IP Address: 10.0.0.1>>> XUID: 000601FE39FAC3C3>>> Machine ID: FA0000000404BE9E>>>>>> Gamertag (case sensitive):Creating A Database
Creating a database for Brian's Xbox IP Resolver is very easy. Creating a database will allow you send that database to the scripts developer to be merged to the main database or you can share the database online for others to use or contribute too.
Creating a database is easy just start the script up and choose the second option which should be "2" after selecting this you will be asked to enter a name for your database. After entering a name the script will go ahead and create the database for you. The database can be found in the scripts folder and will be empty until you insert information into that database.
Using The Script | Example
>>> python main.py>>> 1. Search Database>>> 2. Create Database>>> 3. Insert Into Database>>> 4. Edit Database>>> 5. View Database>>> 6. Merge Two Databases>>> 7. Delete Database>>>>>> Please pick a option above by entering the number: 2>>>>>> Database Name (without .db): testdb>>>>>> Successfully created the database.Inserting Into Database
Inserting information into a database for Brian's Xbox IP Resolver is very easy. Creating a database will allow you send that database to the scripts developer to be merged to the main database or you can share the database online for others to use or contribute too.
Inserting information into a database is easy just start the script up and choose the second option which should be "3" then the script will ask if you want to insert information manually or by using a iplog.txt file. The iplog.txt file is generated by ApparitionNET Studio. I have plans of adding support for others ways for information to be inserted into the database. If you are inserting information manually you will be asked to enter the following information:
- Gamertag*
- IP Address*
- XUID
- Machine ID
Note: The XUID and machine ID (MID) inputs can be left blank if unknown.
When inserting into a database using a iplog.txt file the script will open the iplog.txt file to read and create a new formatted file with the contents of that file. This new file will be named something like "new_iplog.txt" unless changed in config.py. By creating this new formatted file it allows the script to be able to use and read the data in the file to be used later when adding it to a database. When adding the file contents to a database the script will add the file contents to a list then insert that list into the selected database automatically for you. Be sure the iplog.txt is inside the scripts folder or it will throw a error.
Using The Script | Inserting Manually
>>> python main.py>>> 1. Search Database>>> 2. Create Database>>> 3. Insert Into Database>>> 4. Edit Database>>> 5. View Database>>> 6. Merge Two Databases>>> 7. Delete Database>>>>>> Please pick a option above by entering the number: 3>>>>>> Insert data manually or with the iplog.txt file (manually/iplog): manually>>>>>> - backup.db>>> - database.db>>> - old.db>>> - example.db>>>>>> Database Name (without .db): example>>>>>> Gamertag: TestGamertag123>>> IP Address: 10.0.0.1>>> XUID: 000901F0138D1241>>> Machine ID: FA00F49BFED244BB>>>>>> Successfully added information to example.db.Using The Script | Inserting From IP Log File Example

Edit a database that was made for Brian's Xbox IP Resolver is a very easy thing to do. Edit a database will edit records in that database this includes a gamertags, xuids, and machine IDs. You will need to know the ID of the entry in order to edit it. The editing database part of the script isn't finsished so take caution when editing anything.
Editing information that is stored in the database is easy just start the script up and choose the fourth option which should be "4" then the script will ask you to select the database you want to edit then the script will ask if you want to edit multiple columns at the same time or edit one column at a time. If you choose multiple columns you will be asked enter the new gamertag, ip address, xuid, and machine id. These can not be left blank.
Note: as of right now the script only supports editing of multiple columns not one at a time.
Using The Script | Editing Multiple Columns Example
>>> python main.py>>> 1. Search Database>>> 2. Create Database>>> 3. Insert Into Database>>> 4. Edit Database>>> 5. View Database>>> 6. Merge Two Databases>>> 7. Delete Database>>>>>> Please pick a option above by entering the number: 4>>>>>> - backup.db>>> - database.db>>> - old.db>>> - example.db>>>>>> Database Name (without .db): example>>> Would you like to update multiple columns at the same time?
