The odds are about 1 in 250; roughly. Still, raises an eyebrow; especially because Q has posted about IP addressing in the past. https://qalerts.pub/?q=11.11.18
The reason is that the DoD has been allocated all address space starting with 11.
Given that there are 256 combinations of that first octet; 0-255; and some of them are reserved, such as 0 and 127, and such; this leaves roughly 1 in 250 IP addresses that can start with 11.
Oh no, VERY REMARKABLE, especially because Q has brought up 11.X.X.X stuff before. It’s just not one in 100 million. We’re talking about a 0.4% chance of a match with the DoD addressing. I think the OP is on to something.
It makes me wonder though. In the future, I need to see if there is anything that indicates IPv6 addressing. IPv4 addressing is all numbers, but IPv6 addressing could include numbers 0-9 and letters A-F.
Techie here; networking and security.

Oh. So not so remarkable?
