Dodgy Address = Fail!Intentional Fail, probably, similar to how most phone numbers on a TV show are in the 555 exchange. You put a number on TV, and drunk idiots will call it, as a number of annoyed people found out after Tommy Tutone had an actual hit song... 257 seems to be a popular octet value. (Personally, I'm surprised 148.18.1.193 got used in that image)
So am I. But I'm surprised 1918 space was used as well. ANY v4 address will get typed into ping or a browser or something by someone if it is on TV. How many corporations have 1918 space that their VPN'ed home users are about to abuse because of that? Is 127.0.0.1 / ::1 the Internet version of "555"? Or will "I hurt myself, so now I'm going to sue you" mean we can't even use that? - - -- TTFN, patrick - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk2GgTEACgkQznMLL4aoth+u3wCglGK+yrFj3PhI61O78IEqQ40V KyMAoK0MJ26OxPab10za4LQ6U8qomrPU =uJz7 - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk2GgTcACgkQznMLL4aoth9c8ACgkT0XYIAsZ2IORlYH+nopOLmH z/sAoLILGcEnxhR1QHXnU+NvJPDuaYvT =RNrE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
