There is no mystery in the IP address!
What is my IP and what do its numbers stand for?
IP stands for Internet Protocol and the address is formed from 4 numbers separated by periods. The IP address format is a 32 bit numeric one and each number can be from 0 to 255. The IP address consists of two parts: first one represent the network number and it is similar for more than one user (like the number of a street) and second represents the host name which is different for each user (like the house number).

Cheking server for hackers - secure /tmp Sample script
Cutting this is one to the point, most hackers use /tmp to hack linux servers by writing some file in /tmp directory and call it remotely
to play around in your server.
If you are offering shared-hosting or web hosting services on your server, then you are making this much easier for hackers to
find access to your /tmp directory. There are many ways of closing or limiting their access to this directory such as running PHP with
suEXEC Support. I assume you already know all of those and you have a very secure /tmp directory. However, often hackers find
newer ways of accessing this directory. Therefore, it is necessary to check this directory often to make sure nothing is going on without
