Todd of Mischief added,
it's ... a coherent statement. On the back of your PC there's one ethernet jack, but the information that comes in over it is in chunks. Each chunk has a header (sort of a switching-yard code: what program on the PC should this packet be delivered to?) this header includes >
a "port number". Ports are kind of imaginary street addresses. https://web.mit.edu/rhel-doc/4/RH-DOCS/rhel-sg-en-4/ch-ports.html … you can run a service (a program) listening to any port, but there are defaults - what a program will listen to unless given an override. web servers use port 80, mail is on port 25 etc
when I write a new program that needs to listen to clients that connect to it, I pick some random number for the port so, yes, you could write code that defaults to listening to port 1488
Is this a fairly low-competence joke to play? I’m trying to sort out whether we’re meant to read these guys as idiots or evil geniuses.
it's not an evil genius, it's just a 1 second choice basically the same level of sophistication as naming a file hitler_is_awesome.txt
if I'm using an existing program (e.g. web browser / web server) the port numbers have already been chosen, so I just use those if I'm creating a new pair of programs, I NEED to pick port numbers it's as easy to choose 1488 as 1294
I think I get it. So no good way to tell whether this is the actual work of a goofy Nazi, an edgelord Easter egg, or journalist bait.
exactly it is EXACTLY as good evidence as "OMG OMG I found a text file labelled hitler_is_great.txt"
