In recent years,as one of the well-known instant messaging platforms in China,Tantan is often used by mali-cious users to carry out various illegal activities such as fraud and countermeasures.To effectively discover and combat such malicious users on the Tantan platform,it is urgent to target the positioning technology of Tantan malicious users.However,at present,there are no relevant reports at home and abroad on Tantan user positioning.The existing positioning methods for other instant messaging platforms do not consider the characteristics of Tantan platform(i.e.,the characteris-tics of report distance),which makes it difficult to efficiently find users and implement high-precision positioning.There-fore,this paper proposes a malicious user geolocation method on Tantan app with distance transition.Based on the data characteristics of report distance of the Tantan,the relationship between the report distance and actual distance is analyzed,and the report distance model of the Tantan is established.Aiming at the characteristics of segmented report distance model and approaching malicious users,this paper designs a potential area discovery algorithm for malicious users.To improve the positioning accuracy,this paper designs a geolocation algorithm based on distance transition by combining the characteristics of probe to announce distance transition,and the probe movement strategy is used to better obtain the tran-sition distance,and the theoretical position of the target is obtained by combining the trilateration method.A series of ex-periments are carried out in the actual network environment,and the results show that the average positioning error of the proposed method is 20.92 m,and 95%of the positioning error is less than 50 m,which is reduced by 34.99%~60.60%compared with the existing typical positioning methods for WeChat and Momo based on space partition,weighted least squares,and heuristic number theory.
