They’ve got nothing on that hacker at 127.0.0.1 that fucker has all my files!
But have you tried that address 255.255.255.255?
I hear it’s the Master Key to the Internet…
Stop teaching people how to scream, please.
I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It’s just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.
Yeah by using out-of-bounds numbers they avoid accidentally listing legitimate values who might get upset or free advertising
They could just use IPv6. Legitimately values or not no one is going to understand them, much less get upset by them.
The attack was coming from ::1
Or if that’s too unbelievable, fe80:: has some scary implications while also not likely to ever be a real device.
You can also use
200::/7. It’s been deprecated since 2004
There are already several reserved IP ranges for this kind of purpose, like 198.51.100.0/24 or 203.0.113.0/24.
Probably intentional. There are enough stupid people in the World who would try funky things if those IPs where real.
Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.
There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That’s what they should have used.
It’s cooler to use 172.16.0.0/12 because everyone just sees “192” and thinks it’s part of 192.168.0.0/16.
That’s a for LAN use. The other IPv4 example ranges are 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24 and 233.252.0.0/24.
I don’t think the movie was trying to teach you any It skill
What is that scary shit that starts with ‘2001’?
The Klondike 5 of IP addresses.
the forgotten ipv5
Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.
See? The ipv4 pool isn’t exhausted yet. 3 quarters are still unassigned.:)
Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world
This is beginner level IT-TV mishap.
Wanna see something truly ridiculous? How about two
girlshackers one keyboard?There’s a great interview somewhere with the writers of one of these shows talking about how they knew this was shit and they had unofficial competitions with other shows to constantly one up each other on the stupidity.
This clip has I’m pretty sure the worst audio of all time, and not quality, were talking pure decisions. That sound has got to go, that’s how you make vigilantes
Dark web super subnets. IPV10!
What tv show/movie is this from?
It’s from FUBAR. I think they took the show’s name as a general directive.
Thank you, kind stranger! I put that one on my “to watch” list a while ago, but never got around to it. Guessing from your comment I possibly dodged a bullet?
Those IP addresses were about the most believable thing in that episode. It’s occasionally amusing nonsense, requires about 1% concentration, and if you fall asleep in one episode and wake up in the next, you won’t need to reach for the remote.
1% concentration is sometimes a stretch! 🤣 maybe I won’t completely rule it out, but I at least know what state of mind to be in if/when I watch it! Thanks.
