i need to find out from where a constant stream is being broadcasted from, is this possible? so yes, how?

It depends on how it is routed. You can’t get an initial source from a mirror, of course, which most streams will be.

Once you’re connected you can quite easily do netstat -an which will give you the IP. If you want to be a bit more specific, you could also use Wireshark to monitor the packet IO.

I’m not very familiar with this so could you tell me a bit more? Like how exactly those things work? i’ve just installed Wireshark but no f*cking idea how this works.

If you don’t know how to use Wireshark, it straight out isn’t for you simply because of the volume of packets it will display without the correct filters.

Just do netstat -an in different situations to deduce which is the stream’s originator.
