Oh yeah, that’s the new hexadecimal IPV8
IPv4 was easy to remember. IPv6 made it very hard. This implies that IPv8 has to be base64 encoded.
Hello, I am apparently an idiot. What is wrong with that IP address that people can tell it's an immediate phishing scam?
IP addresses can't have segment numbers going over 255.
Yeah, IPv4 addresses use four bytes. Those four bytes are represented as four decimal numbers, separated by dots. And a byte can only represent the decimal values 0–255.
IPv5.
I think you mean IPV0x08
I try to avoid "this" style comments, but I genuinely don't know how else to respond to this one. It was hilarious. I literally (by which I actually mean "literally") laughed out loud.
wait what? I feel like I am left behind in the tech. I only know about ipv4 and ipv6 😭😭😭
They’re making a joke. The numbers in the IP are way too high for v4, but the format isn’t v6, so it’s a “new range” of v8.
Where's IPv7?
In the drawer right next to IPv5
at 192.512.512.10.0/42.
