Doxing is a technique of tracing someone or gathering information about an individual using sources on the internet. Its name is derived from “Documents” or “Docx”. Doxing method is based purely on the ability of the hacker to recognize valuable information about his target and use this information to his benefit. It is also based around the idea that, “The more you know about your target, the easier it will be to find his or her flaws” ~ Urban dictionary.
Such flaws can then be exploited. The exploitation wildly differs depending on the adversary. For example, profiling information can be used for encapsulation attempts by intelligence agencies. If those attempts are tried and fail, and you are still enough of an annoyance to your government, expect aggressive demonisation by government paid trolls (and exceptionalism at its current flourishing best).
D0xing is also a part of reconnaissance, which generally focuses on its dark side. And useful for background checks.

(Counter) moves
You can use the same (or similar) spies online techniques to see yourself through the eyes of the adversaries that might d0x you. That information can then be used to protect yourself from your adversaries as best as you can. And when setting up other, anonymous or pseudonymous identities, these same resources can be used for test-driven-development of the identity.

IP lookup
When you have an IP address an IP lookup will provide details such as ISP name, country, state, city, longitude and latitude. Domain names can help us to find out important information such as address, email id and phone number:
- Domain tools: whois and rwhois
D0xing tools
And then there are tools particularly created for d0xing (also known as human recon). Please follow the money, where the makers are located, and assess likelihood of the code being poisoned. I use as little automated tools as possible. Not only because of the risk of poisoning, also because I prefer to pay more attention to little-easily-overlooked-details. The more you automise, the more you overlook.

Reuseful archives
Such as wandering through archives, yellow pages, phone directories and other possibly useful information made publicly available.
