For those who want to try it at home:
ping 33333333
ping 55555555
I am sorry, two random Internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are simply special.

even shorter:
ping 0This is a special case. This resolves to 0.0.0.0, and technically cannot be routed. Some(!) systems use it as a kind of alias for all local network addresses, but it is not a given.
I’m aware. Conveniently this works on all the systems I’ve tried, making it useful for testing local services (e.g.
ssh 0).That resolves to 0.0.0.0 - rarely useful
But it’s shorter!
But it does not work by definition, it is non-routable. That some systems use it as an alias is a different issue.
