[BNM] Paypal phishing URLs

[Ali]

aha thanks I learn something new every day, I quite like this way of expressing IP addresses! Can see how it would override an IP ban (not that I am subject to any.....)

  Basically, yes:

  Aside from IP addresses, there are 3 other ways to express IP addresses.
  You can also hit ip addresses as:

  * dword - meaning double word because it consists essentially of two
  binary "words" of 16 bits; but it is expressed in decimal (base 10);
  * octal is expressed in base 8; and
  * hexadecimal (base 16).

  The dword equivalent of 206.191.158.55 is 3468664375.

  AOL used to use them a lot, a long time ago.
