This attack relies on the attacker using unexpected formats for
						representing IP addresses. Networked applications may expect network
						location information in a specific format, such as fully qualified domains
						names, URL, IP address, or IP Address ranges. The issue that the attacker
						can exploit is that these design assumptions may not be validated against a
						variety of different possible encodings and network address location
						formats. Applications that use naming for creating policy namespaces for
						managing access control may be susceptible to queryin directly by IP
						addresses, which is ultimately a more generally authoritative way of
						communicating on a network.
