Subject: The best hacker ever !

While most people know better than attacking 127.0.0.1, it's important
to note that in some operating systems (Windows, and a few others, but
normally not *nix), anything in 127.* is loopback.

Its a lot easier to trick someone into attacking, say, 127.36.120.67,
than 127.0.0.1.

Just a thought.
