5.1.8 Using the IP Address
This domain name clearly shows the true destination of the link: “www.membership.com.” Hackers frequently attempt to conceal the destination Web site by obscuring the URL. One method to conceal the destination is to use the IP address rather than the using the hostname. An example of an IP address used in a hackers email message is “http://210.16.224.36/sr/.” An IP address can also be used further by expressing it in Dword, Octal, or Hexadecimal format.
