Is there a legitimate reason why to obfuscate an ip address?
- stanislavb 4y agoI'd suggest - SPAM. For example, I use the presence of IPs in the URL as a SPAM signal. If one used such an obfuscated URL, they could avoid some of the SPAM filters.
- herpderperator 4y agoTo get around something that is otherwise blocking it? Seems useful as part of, for example, pentesting.
- grayfaced 4y agoOn the wire it looks identical. It would have to be a very niche use, like a web form that filters periods.
