interesting

Wanna try,

nah i gotta revise for my backup exams

Exactly

Real

i mean, they could use it in any future arguement

There are perverts who would go after kids if they knew. It's happened before

I don't know of a specific instance where it involved an IP address, but I know of multiple cases where pedos went after kids across multiple states after learning their location.

honestly fr

ok so i self taught myself a bit of ethical hacking

its actually scary what you can do with an ip address

even with little skill

theres a silly little program called nmap that lets you run a scan on a network with an ip address alone, checking for open ports and vulnerabilities. you can honestly hack into somebody's shit with just an ip address if you care to

damn

wacky shit
-sS and a proxy are all you really need to do it undetected too

Pretty sure IP addresses don't reveal exact locations

one time a mf threatened to report my ip to the police

DDos dumbass

just a DoS if its one dude 🤓

okay fair enough you got me

Most useful (malicious) action I can imagine, is superficially changing my evil device's IP address to your device's IP address and then doing evil stuff with my evil device.
Modifying an IP address to mimic another device's is called Spoofing.
