North Korea internet consists of only 1,024 IP addresses

It's me!

The North Korean internet failures have generated a massive amount of international press coverage. One would expect this to be the work of a sophisticated group of hackers, possibly even with the funding of the United States, or other governments wishing to stem the tide of North Korean hackers. Turns out, a 12 year old kid can likely do it. North Korea only has 1,024 IP addresses for the entire country, compared to the 1.5 Billion IP addresses in the United States.

I kinda thought this was public knowledge? Guess not.

 

Probably a repost from somewhere else earlier this year.

I dont think it is a repost. There are articles about the attack on N Korean internet, but none on the scale of the network.

Lol we could DDOS them forever, easily. 

The UN should, just to prove a point.

I've said it again and again, the attack and the fact that the group calls itself GOP seems way too trolly to be North Korea. Apparently they only have 1024 IP's now?

N Korea can easily hire some groups in Russia or China to launch the attack. All Mr. Kim has to do is to hand out a paycheck.

They have 1024 public addresses. With Network Address Translation they could theoretically have millions of devices behind each of those 1024 addresses. They probably don't but they could.

 

NAT is what most of the world has utilized with IPv4 in order to avoid/delay moving to IPv6.

 

For example, everybody here is undoubtedly utilizing NAT already. When your ISP hooks you up with Internet, your router gets a public IP from your ISP (For sake of example lets say its 142.156.88.24). It also has a private IP for the local side of your router which is likely 192.168.0.x or similar. You can set your local side up as any IP class range you want but by default its probably configured class C (254 devices).

 

In that configuration if you had 254 devices on your local network they would all be represented by the single 142.156.88.24 IP on the Internet, provided by your ISP.

 

Just didn't want people to think that NK is restricted to 1024 computers/devices in total. But yes, they do only have 1024 public Internet addresses. :)

Unless you use the binary instead of the decimal definitions. :)

I believe, for most people here, the real news is that North Korea has internet.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

What you see as a drive capacity involves space for Cache and drive firmware.

Really you left my point and went for the HDD, 1TB = 1000GB not 1024 GB, 1TiB = 1024GiB.
