Ip Address Maddness
Ok, I recently read a thing where a guy(script kiddy) "hacked" himself because he was a dousche and didn't know the proper ip address knowledge that he needed to to even fake that he knew something. First some of the basics of an ip address:
IP is for "Internet Protocol." An IP address is a tool used by a computer to determine which computer is which. If you connect to a specific ip address then you are connecting to a specific computer. An IP address consists of 5 numerical sections. The first 4 are called octets and are seperated by periods and can be from 0 to 255 while the last is seperated by a colon and can have a much wider range. The last numerical section indicated the port that is used through the computer. The finished ip usually looks similar to this 68.3.25.255:27960
Now with the close to 4.3 billion combinations that arise through ip addresses there are several that are restricted for specific use:
127.0.0.1 is your computer. Yes I'm talking to YOU!!! If you ever go to 127.0.0.1 then you're going to your own computer. If you send someone else to 127.0.0.1 then you're sending them to their own computer. This ip address is also known as Home or the Loopback address. In the convo I read this guy sent the script kiddy the ip of 127.0.0.1 and said it was his own. The script kiddy not knowing jack shit believed it and "hacked", if you can call it that, himself.
192.168._._ The reason for the 2 blanks at the end of this ip have meaning. This ip address is to a physical firewall/router. If you ever connect to a ip that starts with 192.168 then you're going into a router. The most common ending for this is .0.1 but I've seen many many different ones. Some common ones are .1.1, .1.0, .11.1, etc. My personal favorite is 192.168.0.1 ;-)
0.0.0.0 is the current network. If you're on a home lan and wanna know what's crackin then 0.0.0.0 is the ip that'll get ya there.
255.255.255.255 is used for broadcasts.
There are a few classes of ip addresses. Class A is for huge networks that giant companies or international companies would have. If your ip's first octet is somewhere from 1 to 126 then you are part of this vast class. These account for half the total number of ip addresses. Class B is used for medium sized networks and their first octet starts at 128 and ends in 191. Class C addresses are commonly used for small to mid-size businesses and consist of addresses with a first octet from 192 to 223. The other 2 classes are a good bit different and you probably won't encounter them so I won't bother.
Well, there you have it, If you have random ip addresses and want to know more about em go here and type em in. It's a nifty little tool.
