Second address is technically incorrect. The loopback address subnet 127/8 does not contain private network addresses like 192.168/16, 172.16/12, or 10/8 and doesn’t provide any utility for routing within the local network.
Yeah IPv6 has some pretty sweet innovations baked in. More efficient packets and routing, reduced performance hit by oversized broadcast domains, etc. But potentially problematically it technically does not allow for NAT so every computer has a publicly routable IP address. It does however have a very nice system for link-local networks.
I think the biggest brainfuck for IPv6 is managing a dual stack network because you end up translating concepts between IPv4 and IPv6 that really aren’t meant to be translated
No one can understand how much I love this show and how much I still will in the future. it literally gave me a goal which I was too desperately trying to find.
It inspired me to try and become cybersecurity tech just like him. Before I watched the show I knew I was going to do something computer-science related in future but had no idea in which specific field I should focus in.
Right on man! Cybersecurity is such a cool thing, I’m on the software engineering side of things but looking at how to break software has always intrigued me. Good luck!!
