Okay, this is gonna break your brain just a little bit,
but this right here is an IP address. What? Yeah, no, it is,
but you're probably thinking Chuck, no IP addresses look like this and sure.
You're right. But this right here is how your computer,
how all computers see your IP address.
It's like putting on some special glasses and seeing the code in the matrix.
This is your IP address in the matrix. So get your coffee ready.
We're about to get jacked in to the matrix. That's how you say it, right? Yeah,
let's go. So here is an IP address. This might be your IP address.
And if you watch the previous episodes in this series, this looks familiar.
This is nice and fuzzy. Four numbers, four octets separated by three dots,
but then we just put on our matrix glasses.
We're seeing this IP address in computer code. This is referred to as binary,
the language of computers. Now, if we look back at the previous version,
let me switch it back. This we refer to as decimal and this as binary,
our goal in this video is to understand first what the junk is happening with
this binary. What even is this? And second, we're gonna learn the magic. What?
I just showed you the yeah. Check. That's cool. Right? Let's do it again.
You're gonna learn how to do that.
We're gonna learn how to convert from decimal to binary and then binary to
decimal. Now you're probably thinking why, like,
why is this so important that I need to see the matrix code of my IP addresses?
Well, honestly this is kind of a, a wax song, wax off scenario,
learning this skill right here is going to help you do something later.
This is essential to doing subnetting because right now you suck at it.
And we wanna, we wanna change that. So in this video,
just think this is going to help me subnet.
I am going to become a decimal to binary conversion ninja,
or getting back to our analogy. You're you're the one you are Neo.
You can see the code going through the air,
you know so let's make that happen right now. So here we go.
Take one more sip of coffee.
We're gonna dive deep here and trust me once you learn this,
it's kind of fun to do kind of fun. No,
it's really fun that I'm gonna leave it there.
But before I show you how to do this,
let's talk about what's even going on here. We know this is binary, but huh?
what does even mean now? First,
what I want you to do is count how many numbers there are here.
How many digits go ahead and count right now? I'll wait, pause the video.
UN pause. How many were there? 25, right? No wrong. 32 32 numbers here, right?
Or we could also say 32 bits. What does that mean?
Well, you see in computers and in the matrix, everything has a size, right?
Like this video I'm recording right now. It's 4k.
It will likely be about 60 gigabytes, right? Nick? Yeah.
This picture of Bernard hack well is about 10 megabytes.
And this text file just created is 29 bytes.
Now you probably notice that I'm going down in size, right?
Going from gigabytes to megabytes. I know I skipped kilobytes,
relax all the way down to bites, big to small, right? You got it.
But we can go even lower, even smaller than bites.
You probably saw where this is coming. We can go from bites to bits.
And that's what we're seeing here. Each of these numbers, these digits are bits.
The ground floor as low as we can go. As far as size and computers goes,
go, let me ask you a question. You might already know this.
How many bits make up a bite? Pause.
The video comment below UN pause. If you guessed eight you're right.
Eight bits make one bite.
So if I were to ask you how big is an IP address and bits,
you might say how many 32 bits. And then I might ask you, Hey,
how big is an IP address in bites? What would you say four? Right?
Notice how each of our Octas is eight bits. We have four octets at eight bits,
each eight times 4 32. So to sum this up,
as you're looking at this binary number,
what you're actually looking at is the lowest level of storage in a computer,
the lowest size, the raw data.
And we just discovered why we call these sections between the dots octets well,
because, um, Octo eight they're eight bits, Octa octets.
There you go. Octa pets. Octets I haven't always said that.
So IP addresses 32 bits. That's cool. But now let's talk about what,
what are these numbers even doing?
Like I don't see a lot of number diversity here. All I see are ones and zeros.
And the reason is that's just what binary is ones and zeros. And that's frankly,
all your computer cares about one in zero,
but it's more than just like one in zero.
It's what the one and zero are communicating to the computer.
You see one indicates on and zero indicates off.
That's literally what it means. It's like a light switch on, off, on off,
like no SRA two,
No RTU can speak binary. And he's communicating with the computer. Hey, off on,
no, on, off, on, off, like legit. Think about this on, on,
off, off, off. And by doing that, we're communicating something to the computer.
You're probably thinking what , what is he even doing?
What does on enough have to do with this number and IP addresses this about to
show you something it's gonna get a little weird, but just hang tight with me.
It will all make sense here in a moment. This is where it happens.
You're about to learn how to take the matrix code of IP addresses and convert
them back into decimal.
We're gonna convert this IP address back to what we know and love decimal.
So here we go. Coffee break. Let's get weird.
I'm gonna start writing some random numbers. Hang tight with me. One, two,
and I'm writing them backwards, right?
1,
2, 4, 8, 16 32 64, 1 28. This right here,
our little chart is gonna save your life.
This is our powers of two chart and it's the secret sauce.
It's our secret Dakota ring to convert from matrix to regular stuff.
Now what do I mean by powers of two? Well, I mean this,
the first number is two to the power of zero.
If we get our handy dandy calculator out two to the power of zero is one
that matches. Then we have two to the power of one, which is two.
Now you kinda see where I'm going with this.
The next one will be two to the power of two and so on and so on. Oh,
this will make sense here in a moment.
But I want you to remember how to build this chart.
You can actually do it two ways. One is this way. They give the powers of two,
start with zero two to the power of zero is one and go all the way until you get
to two of the power of seven, which is eight digits total, right?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
the power of two's table. it's our secret power.
Or you can just start with one and multiply by two each time.
So one times two is two. Uh, two times two is four, four times two is eight,
eight times 2 16, 16. You got it. You got it right. Either way.
You wanna build this amazing chart right here. Why? Because watch this,
the magic is about to happen. Whoa, pause. You've been working hard.
You've been learning a lot.
So let's take a quick coffee break and talk about today's sponsor safe DNS. Now,
I'm not sure if you knew this, but the biggest threat to your network,
whether it's your home or your business is you and it's your family and it's
your coworkers.
It's their fault from accessing questionable websites that can compromise your
security,
whether it's your home or your business to accessing time wasting websites and
really websites, no one should be looking at like your kids.
What are your kids looking at? They're curious, man, you gotta block some stuff.
And if your network's kinda like the wild west or people can just access
whatever they want, that is your biggest security weakness.
So how do we protect you from you? That's where our sponsor comes in. Safe.
DNS safe. DNS is a cloud-based DNS filter.
That's ridiculously easy to get set up and installed and also once installed.
It just kind of sits there and does its thing. You don't have to worry about it,
set it and forget it saving you money and time.
You can set up safety and ask to cover your entire network by using your router.
Or you can install a safety and S agent on individual devices. Well,
let me show you once set up safety and S will use machine learning and AI two
blocks stuff based on categories that you sets to check it out here in the
dashboard.
I can jump over to categories and I can choose from 61 individual categories
ranging from cybersecurity stuff to legal activity,
to just time Wass in general,
crap that maybe you don't want your people to see or use or access.
They also have compliance with regulations like the C I P a B PJM and others,
including project Iraq, net. They actually receive child abuse,
image content list from the internet watch foundation.
And if you do want to allow or deny things outside those categories,
you can do that right here. Allow list things like network, chuck.coffee,
delicious and deny stuff like maybe ground your kids or protect your coworkers
from crappy coffee. And if they do try to access these sites,
they will get blocked protecting them from malicious coffee attacks or dating
websites. Cuz my daughters are not ready to date yet, nor will they ever be.
And looking at our settings, we have a ton of options here.
I can define separate policies,
define schedules for those policies and do advanced things like forcing safe
search and forcing restrictive mode for YouTube.
I can do custom block pages as you saw that I had earlier and even add aliases
custom DNS record entries for your host, which is super powerful. And of course,
when you want to geek out, they have all the stats going up here to, uh,
stats and just looking at today. I can see all the requests coming in,
all the blocks, all the categories,
my family's been accessing the domains they're visiting.
And to go more granular,
of course I can go detailed right here where I can export reports and get some
cool data. And also safety.
N S has lightning fast support replying to your chat within like two minutes.
Actually. Let's see if they'll do it live test.
So if you're ready to protect your house, your kids, your company,
check out safety. N S link below, use the codes here on the screen or below,
and you'll get two months free either for home or for business. And look,
they're already typing. That was under a minute. So I,
I wasn't lying for this next part.
We're gonna bring back in those fraud two to help us.
And what I mean is we're gonna take this first. OCTE over here and write it out.
Notice how there are eight bits or eight numbers in our first OCTE and there are
also eight numbers we wrote down in our chart. Let's match 'em up.
So 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0. Now, here we go. No, for all two, are you ready?
Remember one means on zero means off. Here we go. The first number 1 28.
Is it off or on? It's on. So let's write it down. 1 28. The second number 64.
Is it on or off? It's on one means on thanks nos, Fortu 64, the rest.
They're all zeros. They're off Nora two, flick the light 0 0, 0, 0.
So none of these numbers are gonna carry down.
So all the rest of the numbers are off. We don't need them.
Here's what I want you to do. And this again, still feels weird. I know.
I want you to add the numbers that we're on together.
1 28 plus 64 gives us 1 92. This right here.
It's a big moment for you because right here,
we just converted our first OCTE from matrix code from binary to decimal legit.
That's what we did this number right here is 1 92 and decimal.
That's kind of cool, right? Let's do our next one.
Let's ring our next OCTE down. Line up our numbers.
1 0 1 0 1 0 0, 0.
And with the help of no Ferra two. Let's see what carries over.
Let's see what's turned on and what's turned off. We've got 1 28. Nope, no.
64 32. We got that sucker. No 16. We do have an eight. No four, no two,
no one. So we're left with 1 28 and 32 and eight. Now let's add those together.
1 28 plus 32 is one 60 and then one 60 plus eight is 1 68.
So the second Octa ind decimal is 1 68.
Now it's starting to look familiar. Isn't it.
Now I'm starting to see the IP address the way we learned it.
Let's do it again but faster. Our third Octa. In fact,
I want you to do this by yourself.
So pause the video and see if you can do this.
Write this down and with the help of no fraud to, I know you can do it.
Pause the video. UN pause. Let's walk through it real quick.
Let's bringing down our binary 0 0 0 0 0.
The only number that's turned on is the last one.
We got ourselves a one and one plus nothing else is one.
And that's the next number in our IP address. That's what this OCTE means.
And finally, the last one, bring that sucker down,
match up our binary to our chart. 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1. That was a lot.
Those raw two, help us out. We'll bring down our 16, bring down our four,
bring down our one 16 plus four is 20 plus one is 21 guys. That's it.
That's our IP address. You.
We just converted our IP address from matrix code, from binary to decimal.
How cool is that? If you don't think that's cool. I don't know what to tell you.
Drink some more coffee. Rewind. Watch it again. Ugh.
Coffee's a bit cold already. I need to warm it up. Okay. Now let's uh,
switch it up. Let's do it in reverse.
Let's take an IP address and decimal format the way we know and love.
And let's convert that to matrix code. Huh? How do you do that? What?
With the same chart guys, it's easy.
We already have the magic decoded translation here.
Here's our IP address and decimal format.
Let's convert the sucker to matrix code to binary.
Like always will start with our first Okta. We got 1 72 here. Now. Don't worry.
We are still gonna use no SRA. He's standing by he's ready,
but it is gonna be a bit different here. So here's what we'll do.
We'll bring down 1 72 right next to 1 28 and we'll say, Hey,
can we take 1 28 away from 1 72?
Are we able to subtract 128 from 1 72? The answer is yeah. Yeah, we can.
And because we can, that means this one is on no fraud to help us out.
1 28 is on one. Not for a little bit of math. We'll do it up here.
1 72 minus 1 28, little bit of math. 12 minus in, we got four, six minus two.
We got four. Cool. So now we have 44 left over. So 172 minus 128 is 44.
We have 44 left over.
So now what we'll do is we'll take this 44 over here and go, Hey,
can 44 have 64 taken away from it? No, no it can't. So Nora two help us out.
64 is going to be off zero and then we'll keep going down the line. Hey,
can 44 have 32 taken away from it? Uh, heck yeah, it can. It totally does.
So Nora two help us out. 32 is gonna be on 44 minus 32.
We got 12 left. Can we take 16 away from 12? No. Right.
I think you're seeing the pattern here. Nora two, help us out.
It's gonna be turn off. We don't need 16. Let's move down the line.
Can we take eight away from 12? Heck yeah, we can. Let's do that.
We got four left over. Oh, and we forgot to make eight on. There we go.
Let's move on down the line. Can four have four taken away from it? Totally can.
Nora two, turn it on. And then if we do our math, this one's an easy one.
Four minus four. We got zero.
And because zero can't have two taken away from it or zero taken away from it.
Then the last two bits here are gonna be turned off. Zero and zero.
Thanks for the help. No SRA two. So what we just did look at the bottom here.
1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0.
We just converted the number 172 to binary.
Now I want you to try the next one. Try the next OCTE, which is 16.
Pause the video. See what you got. UN pause. Now here,
I'll walk through it real quick and you might be surprised that this one is kind
of quick. Cuz if we take 16, we go to the first one. Hey,
can't take 1 28 from it. Can't take 64 from it. Can't take 32 from it.
So right off the bat. No, for two already knows. And it'll help us do this.
That those have to be turned off. But when we get to 16, dude, heck yeah,
we could take 16 away from 16. Let's turn that bit on. Thanks. No, for two.
And then with some math magic 16 minus 16, we got zero.
And then going down the line, can you take eight away from zero? No four.
Turn it off two. No, turn it off one. No, turn it off at 16.
The rest of the bit to be turned off. Cause we, we can't subtract anymore.
We're done. And we just converted the number 16, two binary, two matrix code.
So now go ahead.
Pause the video and try the next two objects or the last two objects.
34 and three go UN pause. Let's walk through it real quick.
So the third Octa, we got 34 can. 1 28 be taken away from 34. No,
about 64, no 32. Uh, heck yeah. 34 minus 32. We got two.
So 16, 0 8 is zero. Four is zero, but two can be taken away from zero.
That's gonna be a one. And then now that we have zero, that's turned off, bam.
There is our third Okta.
And then finally the number three can 128 be taken away from three.
No it's turned off. No Sera two help us out. 64, no 32, no 16, no eight,
no 4 9, 4, no, but two. Hey three minus two. We got that.
Let's turn two on three minus two is one.
Can one be taken away from one a hundred percent.
That's gonna be turned on and we're done.
That is our number in binary three and binary. And there it is.
We did it using our magic Dakota ring, our fancy handed inny chart.
We decimal back into binary. Okay.
take yourself a sip of coffee. That was a lot.
You just learned how to decode the matrix for your IP address. Anyway,
we saw the IP address,
the way our computers see it binary 32 bits of matrix code.
And we converted that matrix code back into a decimal format.
The way we like to read it and then sucker, we put that back into binary.
Now this is a skill that you need to hone and learn and practice and solidify
cement into your brain because this is one of those building blocks.
This is leg day. This is what you need.
Don't skip it to be able to become a subnetting master, but don't worry,
cuz all you need is this chart right here.
Our super secret decoder ring that will help us convert from binary to decimal
and decimal to binary. Now don't worry if you're like, man, that was,
that was a lot. That's kind of heavy. That's fine. Go back.
And re-watch the video. When I first learned this,
it took me a bit and honestly, to like really get that going in your brand.
You gotta practice it. So if you do want some extra practice,
I will have some below at network. Chuck academies, check it out and also,
Hey have you hacked the YouTube algorithm today?
Let's make sure you do hit that leg button notification belt comment. Subscribe.
You gotta hack YouTube today. Ethically of course. Okay, here we go.
Fair warning. This is not gonna be for little ears.
Or if you're airing this episode to a classroom,
you might wanna turn it off at this point because we're gonna talk about
something that you don't have covered yet. No,
I know you've got decimal to binary and binary to decimal conversion covered,
but you know what? You don't have covered your butt, your balls and your body.
It's so awkward to say,
but you know who does have it covered our sponsor manscaped manscape is going
beyond the groin,
which is so awkward to say with the brand new lineup of men's products called
the man ultra premium collection, ultra premium. Awesome.
They couldn't include more words there now. Legit,
I've been using this every day and I love it. It's awesome.
I'm not even kidding.
This is an all-in one skin and hair kit for the everyday man and covers you from
head to toe.
And I do this thing where it's like a five steps and five minutes thing.
Like you, you, again,
it covers you from head to toe because you gotta take care of yourself.
So let show you the steps and I apologize in advance.
You're about to see me get in the shower and this is just what's happening right
now. Step one, you get in the shower and you,
you put in some shampoo into your hair. It's if you use a coconut water,
green tea hollow turmeric,
this non-greasy formula is naturally hydrating and rich and antioxidants to
revitalize the look and feel of your hair. It also smells pretty fricking good.
My wife likes it. Step two.
Once your hair is rinsed pump the manscape body wash into your wash cloth or Lua
and scrub your entire body.
Vigorously body wash also has stuff in it like Allo and uh, sea salt.
It also smells good and makes your skin feel good.
And once you're all washed and rinsed, get outta the shower, towel off and oh,
oh, you're not done yet. You gotta moisturize.
If I don't have time to sit there and lotion all over my body, no,
they got a 360 degree hydrating spray, which actually is I,
I use it legit every day. It will moisturize all those, um, hard to reach areas.
And then step four,
of course you need deodorant cuz you're gonna stink and going to so please use
deodorant please. The stuff is aluminum free,
stain free and dry is clear and like everything so far,
it smells pretty stinking. Good. And finally, step five.
You probably can't see this cuz my mustache is covering it,
but you wanna apply some lip ball.
It actually has vitamin E and peppermint eucalyptus to help sooth hydrate and C
moisture and boom, that's it.
Five steps and five minutes and all that stuff you just used is cruelty free
para and free and vegan. So you can no don't eat it. Don't eat it. Now.
I'm still using the products they sent me, but I'll probably do this.
They have a manscaped peak hygiene plan.
So you can make sure you never run outta the products, which surprisingly,
I still have not run out cuz that stuff lasts a long time,
but I I'm gonna go ahead and do this too. So you should, you should do it.
You can pick a replenishment cycle that will, you know,
recycle and replenish your stuff when you need to get some more and uh,
it's delivered right to your door, no stress.
So go to manscape.com and use code network.
Chuck you'll get 20% off when you use the link below and you get free
international shipping, which is kind of crazy. So again,
in case you didn't hear me,
you need to clean out your ears with some landscape products.
That's 20% off with the code network, Chuck and free international shipping.
So thank you landscape for making you feel super awkward on camera.
And for sponsoring this video, please go,
don't let this be in vain by other stuff. Okay, bye.
