If you are a hacker or techy person, then you might have noticed some people saying "There is no place like 127.0.0.1". Well, Don't get worried. Today, in this article I will explain this simple term in very simple words.
You would have often heard people or even your family, friends and relatives saying "There is no place like home". I'm pretty sure that you would know about this. We often say this because home is our own property, we have the right to do anything inside it and nobody would rather stop us.
As home was your own property there; similarly, here also 127.0.0.1 is yours own. But the question arises, What does it mean? Well, 127.0.0.1 is an IP address provided to your computer by Microsoft which is also called the local-host or the loop-back address. This means that this IP address is referring to your computer itself. It was also know as the Internet Information Services (IIS). This local-host (127.0.0.1) is used in all computers but the problem with this IP Address is that it never allows you to communicate with other devices like your original IP address. However, this can be used to run HTTP and HTTPS websites in your computers.
According to the hackers, it is the best place as local-host is your personal computer and just like previously said, you have the right to do anything in it. In fact, it can be hacker's "home" in this vast world of internet. The problem is created when you do illegal things (hacking,phishing etc) in others property.
So, if you are doing a hacking attack, it is better to try it out in your own PC than others. Your PC would be a more safer place than others.
Fact: 127.0.0.1 is considered as the most famous term in the hacking culture.
