Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at?

There was an appliance where the wifi chip was at the end of the power cable, embedded inside the plug. From the outside, you couldn’t really tell. It was there so radiation inside the box couldn’t affect the wireless signal as much.

I can imagine some genius thinking it’s a good idea to run a server from inside a cable or a connected home appliance.
