@RustedComputing @nixCraft Random numbers lol

@H0W25 @nixCraft will is a hacker and found mikeuhh's IP address, which is basically their computer's home address. it implies that will has the skills to hack mikeuhh's computer too, so mikeuhh immediately regrets insulting will 🤭

[h0w25@hachyderm.io]

@bazkie @nixCraft but that's not a valid IP, can't get higher than 255, that's why I am so confused...

[bazkie@beige.party]

@H0W25 @nixCraft huh you're right lol. made sense that it was fake, but a pretty bad fake too then! well noticed

[h0w25@hachyderm.io]

@bazkie @nixCraft I suppose the one who insulted didn't know was not valid and was worried about being hacked...

[bazkie@beige.party]

@H0W25 @nixCraft sounds plausible (or worse, the entire thread is faked for internet points )

[thehiddenlayer@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft lol thanks for that

[bazkie@beige.party]

@rood @H0W25 @nixCraft will knows no mercy!

[locnar@bsd.network]

@nixCraft it's good, but it is is not hunter2 good.

[h0w25@hachyderm.io]

@rood @bazkie @nixCraft then would be like `166.X21.X90.249` but those 990 numbers made me wait and think what those numbers could be, as it's still not a valid IP... I can only think Will typed random numbers to simulate an IP without noticing it, and the one who insulted him got scared and apologized as he didn't feel that "anonymous."

@bazkie @H0W25 @nixCraft So easy to spot that my first thought was that it had to be some weird formatting for a phone number or something. It really confused me because it didn't even look right for that.

Honestly, even seeing it explained it feels too awkward for me to laugh. (Eg even if someone edited the numbers to look valid I still would mostly just feel confused from it.)

Well, then too, even just the joke of doxxing someone doesn't feel funny to me.

@RustedComputing @nixCraft that's the point, guy thought it was an IP address

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft FURBLAND'S FAKE IP CHECKLIST:

4 segments, separated by periods
segments do not contain letters
segments are three digits or less
segments are below 255

FINAL SCORE: 3/4

@nixCraft that’s a shot over the bow if I’ve ever seen one.
