For those who want to try it at home:
ping 33333333
ping 55555555
I am sorry, two random Internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are simply special.
ping 1.1also works. It resolves to 1.0.0.1, which is Cloudflare’s secondary DNSIt sure is better then
ping 194.204.152.34which I used to use.Prior to cloud flare and Google doing DNS, a common one was 4.2.2.2 which is a level 3 IP.
Best ping is 127.0.0.1
It always resolves!
Try pinging 127.1 - it is the same, but shorter.
Just another tipp from someone who learned TCP/IP from reading the sources over three decades ago…
Voodoo! I had no idea.
even shorter:
ping 0This is a special case. This resolves to 0.0.0.0, and technically cannot be routed. Some(!) systems use it as a kind of alias for all local network addresses, but it is not a given.
Also two random internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are blocked by mail server since I started getting phishing emails from your country.
I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell but I have to ask: Can someone please explain? I’m perpetually trying to expand my knowledge on the technical side of Linux.
