This goes back some years, back when the ping of death was still a thing. I used to hang out in IRC channels and someone decided they needed to show me what a real hacker could do. The dork asked for my IP which was hilarious to begin with, so I replied “127.0.0.1”. About 2 seconds later I see them disconnect from IRC.
A minute goes by and they are back online, spitting mad. Tells me i’m lucky their computer crashed but I’d better get ready…and disconnected again.
Back again and folks are dying laughing thanks to my 1337 teenage hacker skills but eventually someone spills that 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Instantly I’m talking to zero cool again and was too scared to give out my actual address. Being a hardened nerd, this time I complied.
I was on slackware and had already figured out their game from the get go; oh and I actually knew how to find an IP. So right in the middle of this future titan of industry’s insults and threats…they disconnect one last time. 😎
IRC exposed users ips, so not only did they not understand their low orbit ion cannon firing at localhost was self inflicted, but they didn't actually need to ask for your ip at all.
Why it was funny in the first place. I knew I was messing with the best.

I mean... this is definitely the kind of stuff that happened to "hacker" kiddos back in the days, this stuff probably happened a lot of time.
I swear on my life this happened to me but I don’t care if you believe me or not.
How do you know that wasn't OP?
He's bringing it back!
