Law enforcement took down 22 000 addresses.
That title doesn't make any sense.
BGP hijacking is a way to do that. But the article nowhere suggests that happened.
"Infrastructure running on 22k ip addresses". Either the authors are dumb, or they're writing for a dumb audience.
"Infrastructure running on 22k ip addresses". Either the authors are dumb, or they're writing for a dumb audience.
Correct on both.
The operation, which ran from the beginning of April through the end of August, resulted in the arrest of 41 people and the takedown of 1,037 servers and other infrastructure running on 22,000 IP addresses.
Let me unplug my router, then plug it back in. I'll have a new IP address.
This reporting lacks understanding of IP.
theres fixed IP addresses that servers use, and dynamic IP addresses that consumers borrow.
But what about fixed addressed that consumers use?
And servers that use dynamic IPs
Caching is hard, buddy, I get it.
There is no such thing as IP protocol, IP stands for internet protocol it's an osi layer 3 networking protocol that handles routing and addressing of packets. Dynamic host configuration protocol DHCP is a network management protocol used on IP networks to automatically assign IP addresses.
Ummmm, no.
You don't use ISO or clns at all. We standardised on the DOD TCP/IP model and still teach ISO because who fucking knows why.
And before you say otherwise check your network adaptor and notice you don't have a clns or nsap.
