I noticed the ipv6 address, and I was curious to check who it was:
That is not an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses are written with hex notation, e.g. 2001:888:10:90f::2 i.e. 8193.2184.16.2319.0.0.0.2 when written in decimal. What the meaning is of the '::ffff:' part I don't know, but it has nothing to do with IPv6 afaik. So your analysis has no meaning.
Wrong. Ipv6 addresses can be written in several different formats. The "::ffff" part is equivalent to :0:0:0:0:ffff. Further info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_mapped_address ] As a special exception to IPv6 addresses notation, IPv4 mapped addresses ] are commonly represented with their last 32 bits notated as an IPv4 ] address. As such, ::ffff:c000:280 would typically be notated ] ::ffff:192.0.2.128 instead. And rfc4291. More proofs: cer@nimrodel:~> host ::ffff:195.135.221.135 Host 7.8.d.d.7.8.3.c.f.f.f.f.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) See? The host command knows how to read and interpret it, so it is standard notation. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
