Probably intentional. There are enough stupid people in the World who would try funky things if those IPs where real.
Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.
There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That’s what they should have used.
It’s cooler to use 172.16.0.0/12 because everyone just sees “192” and thinks it’s part of 192.168.0.0/16.
That’s a for LAN use. The other IPv4 example ranges are 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24 and 233.252.0.0/24.
I don’t think the movie was trying to teach you any It skill

See? The ipv4 pool isn’t exhausted yet. 3 quarters are still unassigned.:)
Almost ¾ of each 8-bit part! That’s about 230x of the current space!
Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world
the forgotten ipv5
Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.
This is beginner level IT-TV mishap.
Wanna see something truly ridiculous? How about two
girlshackers one keyboard?I used to watch that show and it was always full of this sort of master hacker bs and I loved it - for a while.
Dark web super subnets. IPV10!
What tv show/movie is this from?
It’s from FUBAR. I think they took the show’s name as a general directive.
Thank you, kind stranger! I put that one on my “to watch” list a while ago, but never got around to it. Guessing from your comment I possibly dodged a bullet?
Those IP addresses were about the most believable thing in that episode. It’s occasionally amusing nonsense, requires about 1% concentration, and if you fall asleep in one episode and wake up in the next, you won’t need to reach for the remote.
1% concentration is sometimes a stretch! 🤣 maybe I won’t completely rule it out, but I at least know what state of mind to be in if/when I watch it! Thanks.
Could also be considered an insider joke meant for the technical audience.
I love those cyber UI mockups in TV shows.
