How to Convert IPV4 to IPV6


Convertion for ip 172.16.147.122 is:         

0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ac10:937a

·   My Ip is















Procedure of Conversation IPv4 into IPv6

I was going through 6to4 tunnel configs and thought I’d post some info on converting IPv4 address into IPv6 Address. This is pretty straight forward and its obviously involves HEX conversion.

Method 1 (Please also see Method 2 below as I think it is much more easier)

Here, I will convert the address 192.168.25.234

First we divide each octet by 16 and write down the remainder, primary school maths!

192 ÷ 16 = 12 remainder 0
168 ÷ 16 = 10 remainder 8
25 ÷ 16 = 1 remainder 9
234 ÷ 16 = 14 remainder 10

We also know that HEX has the following Values

A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

So we can write 192.168.25.234 into HEX like so… C0A8:19EA

Now we will change the HEX Address C0A8:19EA into regular IPv4

C0 = (12 x 16) + 0 = 192
A8 = (10 x 16) + 8 = 168
19 = (1 x 16) + 9 = 25
EA = (14 x 16) + 10 = 234

QED

Method 2

Another easier way to convert is to convert the octets into Binary, in this case we will still use the IP address 192.168.25.234



Split those above 32Bit into equal 16 Bits as HEX is based on Base of 16, then Add them up.

C0
A8
19
EA

Hope I have explained it thoroughly so you could follow… If you have any doubts, feel free to add your comments.

Microsoft Online Store Hacked By Chinesse Hackers

Microsoft’s online store in India has been hacked, with the hacker team – evidently from China – claiming credit and taking away login IDs and passwords of customers of Microsoft products.
The site is (Microsoftstore.co. in)not run by Microsoft, but is owned and operated by Quasar Media, an Indian company that has been “appointed by Microsoft to own, maintain and operate the online store.”
Login IDs and passwords were compromised in the hack attack.
The Evil Shadow Team, evidently from China, claimed credit for the hack, and the theft of the login IDs and passwords, which was rendered easy by the fact that all the sensitive information appeared to have been stored in plain text.
The site is now offline, but wpsause website, which broke the news, reports that while the reason for this hack hasn’t been explicitly stated, the hackers appear to have uploaded a file called evil. Html, which says “Unsafe system will be baptized.”
More here and here
A word of advice from all these sites: If you have registered at Microsoft India Store at any point of time, you are strongly urged to change your password right now. It’s extremely crucial you do that right away.
