This reminds me of something I saw online maybe 20 years ago now. Someone created a torrent with a name like “every IP address ever (hacking tool)” and uploaded it to Suprnova, which ended up having thousands of people seeding it. It was just a text file with every IPv4 from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 😂

That file would be ungodly large. There are 2^128 possible addresses, each weighing in at 128 bits, 16 bytes. 16 bytes times 340 trillion trillion trillion. That puts us around 5.44 trillion Zettabytes. The estimates I’ve seen for worldwide data storage sit aroun 60-70 zettabytes.
