But it will only tell you who the owner is... the rest is confidential.

This should list the routers, you might get a clue that way. The ISP may also give a clue as to if they are using cable/bb or dial up (not as much as previously) or more importantly if they are likely to have a fixed IP or not

No, if what you want is specific information (e.g a street/house number) then the only way to get tihs information is from the ISP themselves - and even then they require a court order/warrant.

The services/tools mentioned can do no more than pin and IP down to at best a specific city/town.

Is this a new question?

Only older, unpatched systems are susceptible to it.

It sounds suspiciously like you are enquiring on how to maliciously attack a system. That is not what this forum is for.
