In computing, geolocation software is software that is capable of deducing the geolocation of a person or object and perhaps their actual location.

Sometimes, the geolocation of an object is used to impute the location of its owner or user.

For example, on the Internet, the identification of a device's IP address can be used to determine the country and even the city and post/ZIP code, organization, or user the IP address has been assigned to, and then to determine an object's actual location.

Other methods include examination of a MAC address, image metadata, or credit card information.

The W3C Geolocation API is an effort by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to standardize an interface to retrieve the geographical location information for a client-side device.

It defines a set of objects, ECMAScript standard compliant, that executing in the client application give the client's device location through the consulting of Location Information Servers, which are transparent for the application programming interface (API).

The most common sources of location information are IP address, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MAC address, radio-frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi connection location, or device Global Positioning System (GPS) and GSM/CDMA cell IDs.

The location is returned with a given accuracy depending on the best location information source available.

Tor is free software for enabling anonymous communication.

The name is derived from an acronym for the original software project name "The Onion Router".

Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis.

Using Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back to the user: this includes "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms".

Tor's use is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored.
