Original Note:
This joke implies that seeing an "fe80:" IPv6 address indicates a compromised system, which is misleading. In reality, these are completely normal and expected for almost any computer on a network. "fe80:" addresses are not a sign of compromise. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/breaking-down-an-ipv6-address-what-it-all-means/
