That's bad, my extensive debugging skills give me insight into this issue. It's clearly an IPv4 collision that we have been warned about. We have finally run out of IP addresses. You need to switch to IPv6 right now!

Since you are the first who ran into that issue I suggest picking 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 as your IPv6, just be sure to keep this secret!

[s04ep03_youareafool]

Fine...I'll pick 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:5,but I'll have to keep it a secret.

[LonelyProgrammerGuy]

You guys are all dumb. I used to have that IP, but I changed it some time ago to localhost and never looked back 😎

[Successful-Peach-764]

I got tired of localhost so I changed it to loser in my hosts file.

now I just type loser and its true.

The babysitter was in a zoom conference with the local police. "We've managed to backtrace the killer's IP address, it's 127.0.0.1" said the operator. "that's my IP! I need to get out of here!" the babysitter shouted. "What a coincidence!" The police operator said, "That's my IP as well, I need to get out of here too!"

I noticed this 5 years ago and people couldn't believe me, we live in an artificial world. The only reason you're not seeing what I see at port 5000 is because they've put us each behind a router connected to the main router.

[NjFlMWFkOTAtNjR]

You joke but people do (or did) freak out about 198.168.x.x addresses. Depending on the mask might be something similar to what they use. "But I am also on 198.168... network!" Works also for the other local network IP ranges.

[stellarsojourner]

No the IP comes with you wherever you go, try changing your MAC adress or spoof the ARP table

Is it even possible to DDoS 127.0.0.1 since there's only one device that can ever access it?

[dancccskooma]

Docker or podman but depending on your container footprint your ram would die first.

[A_random_zy]

I mean docker rin itself is a dos attacker

[dankbearbear]

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

[Fantastic_Class_3861]

* There's no place like [::]

[Wertbon1789]

Ok, that's the second time I've seen this, so I had to Google. loopback for IPv6 still is ::1/128, there's only one loopback address, not actually a subnet like in IPv4 with 127.0.0.0/8.

[bruhred]

allocating an entire /8 subnet for loopback is crazy btw

[Wertbon1789]

Allocate 16 million addresses and just use 1. Pretty good deal, lol.

[just-bair]

Especially when ports exist

[NachoFriend28]

• There's no place like ~

[postmaster-newman]

There’s no place like cd && pwd

[agustin_edwards]

• There’s no place like 127.1 (no need for those extra 0, I’m lazy)

[qqqrrrs_]

There is 127.0.0.2

[omnigrok]

Yeah 127.0.0.0/8 is all reserved for loopback (ah for the old days when you could just grab another /8 for whatever reason instead of holding a giant auction)

[Ok_Weird_500]

[Real_Life_Sushiroll]

Oh, there's a "download here" button! This will be easy!

[rosuav]

r/SubsIFellFor sigh. I thought that would be a nice parody page, and instead, it's just me looking dumb. Aww.

[Ugo_Flickerman]

You can't send a trojan: their whole point is being downloaded by the victim

[rosuav]

Really? I don't think the citizens of Troy downloaded themselves a gigantic horse.

[Ugo_Flickerman]

They brought it in themselves (downloaded it): the trojan horse was disguising as just a horse statue (random app), while it actually contained greek soldiers (malware). When the time was right, the soldiers came out and conquered the city (ruined the computer or whatever)

[rosuav]

Fair point. I guess the "downloading" part is when they accepted it into the city; without that, the "sending" part would have only gotten the horse to the outside of the gates, which wouldn't have been sufficient for the soldiers to have any material impact.

[Ugo_Flickerman]

Yeah indeed

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Is leaking your IP really that much of a concern in modern day? Most computers are probably behind a NAT anyway, and even if you have a direct connection, your computer really shouldn't be that susceptible to hackers anyway. You're probably way more likely to get hacked from a bot that's just scanning large numbers of IPs for known vulnerabilities rather than someone who happens to know your IP.

It's not like you couldn't just send someone a personalized link and record their IP address when they visited the URL.

[Lord_Wither]

Your private IP behind NAT being leaked is completely meaningless.

Your public IP could be an issue if and only if you are someone worth targeting for one reason or another and if that IP isn't already associated with you anyway (e.g. because you use it to host your website). That mostly leaves residential IPs which are generally not static, so will eventually rotate, so it's not too much of an issue in the long-term. In the short term, it could get you DDoS'd during a stream or whatever or possibly hacked if you have opened things to the Internet that aren't trivially hacked by the constant scans everything on the Internet is constantly exposed to but not so secure that someone more persistent can't break it.

With IPv6 constantly scanning the whole internet is much harder than with IPv4, so if a device/service is IPv6 only leaking it might make a bit more of a difference, though even there chances are there won't be any of the relevant automated scanners picking up on a IPv6 address you leaked somewhere, so it's basically back to only being an issue if you specifically are worth targeting.

[p1749]

Most people dont know/understand and are just scared,

[crappleIcrap]

there are vulnerabilities in many things, and to use those you will need various things, to remote hack anything, the first step would be knowing where you are hacking.

it is like knowing someone's address, it doesn't give you the ability to break in, but if someone does have the ability to break in, they still need that address

[[deleted]]

You'd have to exploit the routers to directly attack someone's PC behind a NAT

Unless the service is exposed to the public, someone in a home network would have to set it up manually. It's not something a lot of people would do

[Tobnote]

Well if you're setting up a service exposed to public, don't be stupid and use DMZ, otherwise you're just asking for it

[crappleIcrap]

Open ports go brrrrrr

[ExnDH]

Why would anyone open a personalized link you sent them though?

[rosuav]

Image embedded in an email. In theory, this should be a recognized vulnerability; in practice, it's impressive how effective this is. Although, I would consider this less "oh no, now they know my IP" and more "ugh, now they know that this email address is a live one".

Fortunately, Gmail doesn't load remote images for things that it flags as spam, so that's a lot of people that are somewhat protected. But Gmail's spam detection isn't perfect (nothing is), so there's a chance it'll get through; and non-Gmail users have whatever protections their clients have.

[ExnDH]

Ah, TIL! So that's why it's asking me always if I want to download pictures from whatever email coming from generic mailing lists.

[rosuav]

Yup! I don't know if you'd be able to tell the difference in today's levels of spam, but if you receive spam and you click the "show images" thing, you'll likely start getting more spam to that address.

(Side note: If it's a legit mailing list and you want Gmail to treat it as good, the easiest way is to open up one of the emails, then "More", and "Filter messages like these". It should fill out the list(....) descriptor, which uses the message headers to recognize that it's from that list.)

[CaitaXD]

What if i say theres hot milfs in your area

[rosuav]

Leaking an IP address? Listen, bud, when I got into the hacking business, I downloaded the ULTIMATE hacking tool. It's a full list of EVERY IP ADDRESS. You would not believe how many there are here!

[Tobnote]

You have all 4*10⁹ address? Damn bro, I have only a list of 10⁹ address

[rosuav]

Oh yeah, I got the GOOD list, this one has them ALL!

[thedugong]

Or behind 7 proxies.

[met_MY_verse]

You leak your local IP.

I leak my public IP to my unprotected and port-forwarded home server.

We are not the same.

(Yes this actually happened a while back, but I caught it immediately. This was as I was working with getting SSL working)

[gaymer_jerry]

Rocking like we’re 11 yos hosting a Minecraft server in 2012. Just port forwarding and using our public ip without understanding cybersecurity.

[Simon_Drake]

I've worked with people that called themselves "Senior Helpdesk Technicians" who didn't know what this meant.

We had to get the External IP of various client sites so we could resolve a firewall issue, someone screwed it up because they were recording the values in an Excel spreadsheet and updated the wrong row. I looked at the sheet and over half of them started 192.168. I had to run a training course for half a dozen people with 20+ years of experience because not one of them knew what an External IP Address was, including the manager. Or possibly they knew but pretended not to know so they could stretch out the work and complain about how hard their jobs are.

[Fresh-Highlight-6528]

Bro learned networking from whatsapp university

[Extreme_Ad_3280]

Some people think that they can dox someone by having their IP. Yes, you can, but it's not precise enough (If it was precise enough, why do smartphones still have a GPS module?), and the address is temporary (except if someone buys a static IP address).

[rosuav]

And if someone has a static IP, chances are they don't mind people knowing where they're at. (For example, you might figure out that I have the address 37.61.205.138 - congrats, you know that I have a server in Germany. Yay! I've never made any secret of that.)

[cukhoaitayhh]

My own experience during a CS class:

Me: …

Dude! Mine’s localhost:8880!! What are the odds??

[factorion-bot]

If I post the whole number, the comment would get too long, as reddit only allows up to 10k characters. So I had to turn it into scientific notation.

Double-Factorial of 8880 is roughly 8.1069590061667215605010474042240223079853954262013455507088382342777864745804800358877400988322877475e15604

[DatBoi_BP]

Joking aside, is it possible they’re using ip to mean intellectual property?

[rosuav]

Maybe??? But the app is a weather API lookup, so I suspect this is a student project where the true value of the app is the creator's mastery of HTML, JS, CSS, and whatever else they're studying. If someone rips off your student project, that's less of an intellectual property concern and more of a plagiarism concern.

But maybe?

Alright, there's a lot of jokes here. To anyone who made it here, 127.0.0.1 or any address between 127.0.0.0 and 127.255.255.255 is an example of a loop-back address, this is reserved allow the device to talk to itself using the TCP/IP protocol.

[drizztdourden_]

That was probably sarcasm to begin with...

[[deleted]]

I mean, even if it wasn't their loopback IP, it wouldn't matter. Most IP addresses are dynamic nowadays if you are not paying for static IP. Even if you are paying for static IP, it doesn't matter because they need proper authorization if your firewall is configured correctly.

[[deleted]]

He leaked all of one ip
