  2. You could use the whois information to learn who is administrating the IP range the IP originates from. They have to provide contact information (email address, …) to report abuse by their users.

    If you are just interested in the location there are ip geolocating services available on the net but they are not very accurate (maybe they’ll show the right town).

  3. Add the following code to bottom of your functions.php in theme folder it will stop the ping back request.

    add_filter( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'remove_xmlrpc_pingback_ping' );
function remove_xmlrpc_pingback_ping( $methods ) {
unset( $methods['pingback.ping'] );

return $methods;
}
