I find it pretty funny these days how often I see people getting paranoid about their IP address when back in the 90’s/early 2000’s it was common to show other people their own IP in chat rooms or on forums to scare them and it didn’t work because most people understood it didn’t matter.
It still seems pretty stupid to most of us. It’s still common knowledge that knowing someone’s IP is meaningless, it’s mostly kids and the technologically inept who don’t understand this in my experience.
Uh oh I have that same IP address
Oh crap he leaked your IP address then!!
Better call my ISP and ask for a reassignment
My IP is in this photo and I don’t like it.
Oh shit! So is mine!
::1 gang rise up
I’m so glad someone posted this. I was going to lol
How come you know my IP !?
Wait, I remember that address… it’s the Tor SOCKS5 proxy address! He’s the darkweb guy!
That’s probably a VNC/local server listener.
tor listens for socks on 9050 by default. tor uses 5400 as the default DNS port.
I look forward to them trying to DDOS that address
Oh shit, he’s good. He DDOS’d me right back.
What kind of resources does this guy have? I don’t think governments can even do proportional and instantaneous DDOS responses. I messed with the wrong dude.
Did you try to hack a Gibson from your home?
There was that one bash.org quote where a script kiddie was given 127.0.0.1 as part of an “oh yeah I dare you” taunt after he said he could hack anyone, and he fell for it hook line and sinker. He was posting things like “Hahaha your K drive is being deleted! Now your H drive! [connection reset by peer]” and right after that the challenger was like “I don’t even have a K drive.”
(RIP bash.org though. I would have tried to link it otherwise)
Bash.org is gone!?! No!!!
Yeah. RIP bash.org, where introverted people could read chat logs of other like-minded introverts. And I don’t even /s this, I genuinely miss this stuff…
I came across this when looking up a quote a couple weeks back: bash-org-archive.com
Okay back in the days of IRC, I met this script kiddie who said he’d hack me, just give him my IP address. So I sent him his IP address and he disappeared suddenly.
What good is a script kiddie if they cannot find an IP?
Especially on IRC
Average hosts file (> 100k loc) in Windows. Or did they fix ithis?
I called the SWAT on them.😈
Update: The SWAT came to my home!😅
Nah, the SWAT would have to arrest themselves.
Hey! That’s my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?
No place like 127.0.0.1
But there is more space in ::1
all my homies hate ipv6
my best friend in high school (also a nerd) gave me a shirt that says that over 20 years ago! now my son wears it ha. thanks thinkgeek!

rm -rfaccident… :(Condolences…

I was really hoping it was dubbed.
tip: add this to your html for it to automatically follow browser settings for dark mode:
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
another tip: in firefox, go to about:preferences > general > fonts > advanced > proportional > sans serifthat is theme-color (accent color for browser ui), not color-scheme. color-scheme is supported more, see compatibility table for meta color-scheme
This dude probably just made a joke. No need to call him stupid smh.
this is why you should always use
localhost😉tries to hack into it
“Oh no, someone is trying to hack into me too!”
Hey, I set up this new database, wanna see it, here is the link
edit: this is a joke, because sending a http request to postgres is stupid, haha
God, it’s like teachers trying to copy a link from their file browser. Well, bless them for trying.
why? sending a http request to /home/user/x sounds like a good idea
That IP address is coming from inside the house!
