I don't know the exact parameters of the competition, but I doubt pretty strongly if the solution is allowed to manipulate the targeted user's behavior, and, oh, by the way, install a high speed listening device on the trunk of every ISP in the world.
If you have to know already which ISP the suspected user is using, you're not really finding the user, you're just confirming their identity.
And as others have pointed out, running with JS enabled is a vulnerability. If the user is that careless, it's probably easier to get them to load a particular file over plain HTTP and just listening to requests for that file.
