The end of an era: Properly formated IP addresses in all of our data., (Sun, Aug 24th)

The Internet Storm Center and DShield websites are about 25 years old. Back in the day, I made some questionable decisions that I have never quite cleaned up later. One of these decisions was to use a “15 character 0-padded” format for IP addresses. This format padded each byte in the IP address with leading 0's, ensuring that they were all 15 characters long (including the '.').
