It's supposed to look like an IPv6 address, which is made up of HexDec.Is it? I've never noticed cause I've always done that reset with a guide because fuck that "IP" address, that is completely wrong for a supposedly IP address. Unless japanese IP addresses are vastly different.
HexDec is 0-9 and a-f.
There are some rules though.
In an IPv6 address you can omit leading zeros.
You can change 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 into 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7344
One time you can omit even a whole 16 bit block ( " :1A0F: " <- i'm a 16 bit block) of zeros, turning them into a "::".
2001:0000:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 -> 2001::85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 or 2001::85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7344
And then there are subnet masks. (been too long can't remember rn).
The point is: If there is a letter beyond "F" in the riddles IPv6 address then it's not a working/false IPv6 address.
Or if it does not apply to above and beyond rules.
/e
IPv6 is afaik an internationel standard. So no japanese only shenanigans.
The so called ICANN is responsible, at least at the top level, for IP address distribution.
/e2 Funnily quote didn't work. Maybe due to forum rework?
