sylver1: 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 2 Likes |

obynoses: 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. |

alcuin: 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. |

pamcode: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. 1 Like

goshen: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 |

sodams007: 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.. Do you even know the meaning of 'ROUNTING' ?? |

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. |

I am highly disappointed in AIT for showing how weak they are by being one sided. Raymond Dokpesi,how much were you given to show such documentry, I dislike the TV station the more for being one sided and which is d reason why BUHARI will get my vote. After the Elections and Buhari wins so what becomes of you. OTUOKE CLOWNS |

Re: AIT's Online Poll Hacking Evidence Was Faked - Gbenga Sesan by sylver1(m): 8:38pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
sodams007: 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 |

you can never have an IP address end with .255, that is a broadcast address. Now I am seeing IP address ending with .256, .257 etc. AIT don create new IP addresses... Naija, We hail thee genearts: |
