python.org = 194.109.137.226

194 + 109 + 137 + 226 = 666

What is this website with such a demonic name and IP address? What
evils are the programmers who use this language up to?

BUT!

perl -e '$a="194.109.137.226"; @a = reverse split /\./, $a; for $i (0..3) { $sum += $a[$i]*(256**$i) } print "sum = $sum\n"'

226 + 35072 + 7143424 + 3254779904 = 3261958626

http://3261958626/

Which is NOT 666.

That'll work fine in Python 2.3. I think you meant:

print sum(ord(x) for x in "PyPy!!!!!!!!")

which is a different matter entirely (well, regarding compatibility
anyway).

There are 6 853 010 possible dotted quads that add up to 666. Surely
python.org is not the only one.

In <1105495569.4...@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>

What is the simplest/fastest Python program to determine how many
IP addresses sum up to 666?

The simplest/fastest enumerator?

The simplest/fastest that determines which ones of them are home pages?


BTW, www.churchofsatan.org is 216.168.224.70
That adds up to 666 + 12

Are they hedging their bets? :-)

This seems to work although it could be made more efficient or elegant.
Also, the failed gethostbyaddr() calls take forever.

from socket import gethostbyaddr, herror

for a in xrange(256):
if a < 666-255*3:
continue
for b in xrange(256):
if a+b < 666-255*2:
continue
for c in xrange(256):
if a+b+c < 666-255:
continue
for d in xrange(256):
if a + b + c + d == 666:
ip_address = "%d.%d.%d.%d" % (a, b, c, d)
try:
hostname, aliaslist, ipaddrlist =
gethostbyaddr(ip_address)
except herror:
hostname = "NONE"
print hostname, ip_address
break

I'm not sure what you meant to do, but note that 'a < 666-255*3' is
false for all values of 'a' generated by the xrange() call. Removing
that test would make the code more efficient. Hard to say if it would
make it more elegant :-)

Certainly, it can be done more efficient:

for a in xrange(256):
for b in xrange(max(0, (666-255*2)-a), 256):
for c in xrange(max(0, (666-255)-a-b), min(666-a-b+1, 256)):
d = 666-a-b-c
...

I've checked these IPs with ip2cc (which can miss entries registered
last month): there are 2907248 "evil" addresses, most of them (1568430)
in USA. Too many to resolve.
