CIA tracing those IPv44 addresses

They've got nothing on that hacker at 127.0.0.1 that fucker has all my files!

I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It's just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.

Yeah by using out-of-bounds numbers they avoid accidentally listing legitimate values who might get upset or free advertising
- They could just use IPv6. Legitimately values or not no one is going to understand them, much less get upset by them.
- There are already several reserved IP ranges for this kind of purpose, like 198.51.100.0/24 or 203.0.113.0/24.

Probably intentional. There are enough stupid people in the World who would try funky things if those IPs where real.

Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.
- There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That's what they should have used.
The Klondike 5 of IP addresses.

the forgotten ipv5

Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.

See? The ipv4 pool isn't exhausted yet. 3 quarters are still unassigned.:)

Almost ¾ of each 8-bit part! That's about 230x of the current space!
Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

This is beginner level IT-TV mishap.

There's a great interview somewhere with the writers of one of these shows talking about how they knew this was shit and they had unofficial competitions with other shows to constantly one up each other on the stupidity.
- This is entirely believable.
I used to watch that show and it was always full of this sort of master hacker bs and I loved it - for a while.
This clip has I'm pretty sure the worst audio of all time, and not quality, were talking pure decisions. That sound has got to go, that's how you make vigilantes

Dark web super subnets. IPV10!

What tv show/movie is this from?

It’s from FUBAR. I think they took the show’s name as a general directive.
- Thank you, kind stranger! I put that one on my “to watch” list a while ago, but never got around to it. Guessing from your comment I possibly dodged a bullet?

I love those cyber UI mockups in TV shows.

Not a single mouse, cursor or command line in sight, but somehow they always type 84 letters per second, and get a flashy UI with animation, 3D models spinning, moving, zooming and morphing, or at the very least windows popping up and doing various stuff.
Just like in real life.
- Not like the good old days.
