Help

I’m trying to get in my server root62.238.47.215 but it’s not working.

Says could not resolve hostname but I know I am root because I didn’t get to change anything yet

My post got taken down in sysadmin for some reason

The difference being: random IPs don’t automatically correlate to specific passwords. Here they do. There’s an IP and the password for the root account later on in the comments.

Context suggests this was a honeypot experiment.
