A shitpost showing an IPv6 route that produces ascii art when traced.

I would classify it under "art" rather than "shitpost", but yeah.

I said art! And fwiw, shitposting itself is considered an art, to some.

Of course it is! The equivalence between art and comedy is the importance of context to its meaning and value

What does it have to do with stealing of data?

That part appears to be a joke in the vein of the old cat memes[1] like "i'm in ur browser, stealin ur cookies"

Looks like someone setup a network where each hop deeper into the network has a name setup to display a line of ascii art.

It's going to get old quick is what it is.

Just increase the TTL.
