Please do not follow this link, or do so at your own risk - if it
even works!

I got an e-mail that I suspect is linking me back to a boggus
PayPal site. The link is:

htp://1422718346:82/cmd_home/index.php

I changed http to htp so this would not create an active link. But
will this resolve? Can this work as a dns/domain name? I've never seen
a domain name like that before and wonder if there is something new
being done in domain name resolution, or if I missed something and
this has always been able to be done.

I know this is an odd place to post this, but I figured server
admins with DNS expertise would know. I didn't follow the link, maybe
it works, maybe it doesn't, but I don't trust that this is a
legititmate PayPal site and didn't want to activate some web-virus or
something.

Anyway, if this does work for a domain name, how? Thanks!

I dont know what you are asking, but I can tell you thet the http is a
protcol, not a domain name. "htp" is not a valid protocol so that will not
work. Second, the domain name will not work whatsoever because it is not
valid. If that was suppose to be an IP address you would nee a dot between
quadrents. I still have no idea what you are trying to do, why not just
delete the email and bbe done with it?

So, this is standard? IE, DNS system, or something else, converts
the decimal number to hex, then uses the octets for the IP address.
What does this conversion? IE, DNS, TCP/IP stack, etc...? Would this
work in any browser? This seems sneaky - well, how this is being used
in this case, ecpecially with the port 82 modification. It's annoying
that people go to such lengths to cause trouble.

Thanks!

One, read my email. I said I changed "http" to "htp" so this would
not show up in your newsreader software as a hyperlink; so as to make
it harder to "accidentally" follow the link - as I suspect it is
potentially malicious. Two, I know that http is a protocol and htp is
not (thus my intentional name change to break the auto-hyperlinking
function that many newsreader softwares out there may have applied to
it. Third, this is not the point of my post, the domain name part of
the post is my focus. As Osman Shener explained, this IS a valid web
link, as the number is converted to hex and then the octets of the hex
version of the number are used as the IP. Fourth, I could have simply
deleted it and could have just gone about my mary way, but now thanks
to Osman Shener, I know another little piece of information about how
something I work with - works. I find knowledge to be a useful thing.

To answer some of your post, this has nothing to do with DNS. DNS is domain
name service, and since you just clarified what you were asking, DNS does
not come into play. Therefor your question did not make sense to me, and the
link would be invalid because there is no valid root listed. I am behind a
firewall at the moment but will a browser actually open this link? I'd have
to try when I get home on my test bed. I also did not understand your post
completely, which is why I stated "I don't know what you are asking". Maybe
that question could have clued you in that I needed more information, but
guess not. Glad you got your answer.
