And this so called "ICT expert" hasn't heard of IP spoofing. With a spoofing tool, an attacker can modify the source IP address of an IP packet header.
One of the flaws of the TCP/IP suite is that some systems rely on only the source IP address as a means of authentication.
Routers only inspect the destination IP address in the packet to make routing decisions. The source IP address is not required by routers and even an invalid source IP address will not affect the delivery of packets. #Shalom

Obviously u know less about routing.
A router uses both source and destination address for routing decisions, path selection and keepalive. Even access-lists use source address.

So why trying hard to explain wat u know little about

Mr.Gbenga Sesan who taught you networking? I am a better IT Expert than you are. The subnet masks are the only addresses restricted between 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. But that is not even the point.The faked pole according to you doesnt contain anything above normal. The highest I.P address in the faked pole is 82.145.210.186 which is in a normal Internet protocol cum Transfer Communication protocol range. Why do you fools like faking reports? Please that result was faked. if you need expatiation you can contact me through my nairaland I.D let me teach you basics of Networking. Take a look at the pix and you see for yourself that non I.P octal was above 200. Meanwhile the subnet wasnt shown so shot your crap you cow.

In addition to this, I remember when PayPal has not allowed Nigerians to "officially" use their services. They configured their website so that it rejects IP addresses from Nigeria. Yet, internet marketers had a way of bye passing this restriction by locating a cyber cafe that uses foreign IP address to create an account by registering with a random foreign home or company address they googled online, manage and fully operate their PayPal accounts from Nigeria here.

Based on this possibility, the claim of an IP address with 82 as the first octate number being located in Europe does not hold water.

Miss....port addresses are used to identify services running in a device. We are talking of layer 3 addresses here, which are ip addresses and no ipv4 address can end with greater than 255.

Go back and learn. Port addresses are layer 2 addresses. In addition, MAC addresses are layer 1 and this is tied to the device hardware.

Thanks.

MAC are layer 2 addresses. PORT are layer 4 addresses. However, i totally agree with your analysis on the fake ip. It was just on point.

wait what do people in computer science do pls, my cousin in computer science(3rd year) came to visit us some weeks back and Dad asked her if she could dis -assemble a computer and she said no, my Dad already has the opinion she is a dullard.
Computer scientists don't assemble computers...
It's more a Computer Engineering thing...

Computer Science involves software. It has very many branches.
e.g the games you play(game programmers), all these operating systems, etc were created by computer scientists. Some people are involved with AI, web development, networking etc.

The appropriate question from your dad should have been: "do you program ? What language do you use ?"

Not all computer scientists program( daily as a job) but all should know how to.

This has more to do with the hackers having database access than bogus IP address.

I mean it is easier for the hackers to just manipulate the poll data in the database than to vote, change IP address and then vote again

Here is what I think they did:
There probably was another table in the database where the name of each candidate is matched to the number of votes gotten. Now, these hackers went and inflated the count for their candidate. To maintain the integrity of the poll so that they will not be discovered, they had to make sure that the number of IPs that voted for their candidate tallied with the inflated numbers. They wrote a script or a program that generated IP addresses "incrementally". The program generated IP adresses and then automatically inserted it into the database.

My guess is that this procedure locked the database and slowed down the voting site and this alerted the site technicians.

The whole thing was automated of course. See attached photo of the CSV file. Notice how the whole "Voting" occurred under a minute or two.

In the statement released by DAAR earlier, they did say they noticed the use of a software application that incremented IP addresses. So, I believe it is expected for some IP addresses to be out of range since the efficiency of the IP generator was not stated.

I believe the data presented BY AIT was misinterpreted by someone and then led everyone to join him in his misunderstanding.

So, yes maybe AIT's poll was really hacked.

Try harder mate!!!. Spoofed ip addresses still have to be in standard ip format. In fact, most spoofing attacks are aimed at masquerading as legitimate ip address on the internal network of the firewall.

AIT lied on this one. If AIT could lie on a simple issue of online polls, how do we ever believe anything from AIT again.

For me personally, this has helped me resolve a number of doubt on previous allegations, e.g PVC cloning, etc. PDP have always lied. I hope most Nigerians would be smart enough to see through their loads of bullshit.

Masquerading as a legimitimate ip address is just one type of spoofing in which case the attacker wants the receiving host to believe the packets were coming from the masqueraded address. But what if the attacker doesn't care which ip address gets sent to the destination host??. Routers only inspect the destination ip address for routing. And it would still route packets irrespective of whether the source ip address in the header is a standard 32 bits IP address or not..
Although a simple ACL can be configured to prevent spoofing attacks, it is actually possible to spoof such ip addresses if such security measures are not in place. #Shalom

ACLs can be configured on the border router to prevent packets from coming into or going out of the router from or to a particular interface(s) based on the destination or source ip address, the port number or the communication protocol, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the routing process.
Take it anywhere, Routers do not require the source IP address to make routing decisions..

It is very possible AIT Poll was hacked. Check the corresponding time of the voting. A quick IP address generator script was written but the programmer forgot to add a check so it does not exceed the valid range. If you check the time stamp you will notice the voting pattern was inconsistent with normal practice.

Garrithe1st:
@gbengasesan In the next few tweets, I’ll explain how Internet Protocol (IP) addresses work and prove that AIT is guilty of FORGERY. Please be patient…

@gbengasesan AIT claims that their website was hacked by APC supporters who rigged votes for Buhari from similar IP addresses. Here’s why they’re stupid!

1. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are number labels assigned to devices within a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication

2. Internet Protocol designers used 32-bit number. IP protocol version 4 (IPv4) is limited because it’s only from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

3. That basically means IP version 4 only has 4,294,967,295 IP addresses. That explains why IP version 6 (128-bit numbers) is now being used

4. Long numbers can be confusing. So, IP addresses use dotted-decimal format: 4 numbers separated by periods. Something like 192.168.123.132

5. If geeks don’t want to be nice, they’d leave easy IP address 192.168.123.132 as 32 bit number. That’d be 11000000101010000111101110000100

6. To make 11000000101010000111101110000100 easy, split into octets - sequence of 8 bits. That would be 11000000.10101000.01111011.10000100

7. 11000000.10101000.01111011.10000100 made much easier would then be 192.168.123.132. How? Let’s look at octet 1 - 11000000. Still with me?

8. To convert 11000000 from binary to dotted-decimal format, just do the 2 raised to power thing. That’s 1*2^7+1*2^6+… (the rest are all 0s)

9. For the 2 raised to power thing, we count from the right. Last number to the right is multiplied by 2^0. Next one by 2^1. 2^7 for the 8th

10. So 1*2^7 = 1*(2*2*2*2*2*2*2) = 128. 1*2^6 = 64. Add both and you have 192. Binary 11000000=Dotted-Decimal 192. Repeat for 3 other octets

11. If you run your numbers well you’ll have binary 11000000.10101000.01111011.10000100 in dotted-decimal format as 192.168.123.132. Got it?

12. So the highest binary set in an octet = 11111111. Convert that. That’s 128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1=255. If an IP address exceeds 255, it’s fake

13. Enough jargon. I said all that to say it’s easy to know a fake IP address when you see one. More on IP addresses: http:///fVkfEXo15r

14. Now, to AIT. For those who skipped from tweet #2 to this one, una nor try at all ☺ AIT claims that votes were rigged in favour of Buhari

15. I now have a copy of the CSV file sent by AIT to media houses. This copy was obtained from a pro-GEJ news website http:///fOhtSifyKN

19. Ladies and gentlemen, look at the IP addresses again. What did you notice? Exactly. 82.145.210.258 to 82.145.210.293. 258 and 293? AIT?!

20. The folly went all the way to 82.145.210.570. First, 82.anything isn’t geographically in Nigeria. It’s in Europe. AIT says NIG. Error 1

21. The biggest error is that anything above 255 is not a valid dotted-decimal number. Remember, highest binary is 11111111. That’s 255.

22. Ladies and gentlemen, AIT messed up! Big time. If you would fabricate lies, don’t be lazy like the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
This is big time revelation. A working system will never do a thing like this. A working leader does not strugle for 2nd term. If they want to fabricate another lie they should be smart. This is 2015 not 1999. Nigerians are wiser now.

Source IP addresses are not stored in the Routing Table.
what you have in the Routing Table are paths (ip addresses and exit interfaces) and metrics to reach a particular network.

I woun't be engaging you further on this.
I'd suggest you revisit your routing course. #Peace
