DDoSing the Localhost

I found an unusual IP address, 127.0.0.1. I'm going to DDoS this idiot right now. He won't see it coming. Lol

A joke tweet claims that the poster discovered the IP address 127.0.0.1 and plans to DDoS it. The punchline is that 127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address, so the hacker is unknowingly attacking their own computer. It is used as a reaction to mock clueless hackers or technically illiterate threats. EN: A joke tweet claims that the poster discovered the IP address 127.0.0.1 and plans to DDoS it.
