title: How can a sequence of numbers be resolved to a domain?
body: <p>As I'm working on a project, I had the number <strong>1373592018</strong> copied in the clipboard. I accidentally Paste &amp; Go'd in my web browser, which automatically added the http:// in front of the numbers.</p>
  
  <p>Surprisingly, it resolved and I was prompted for username/password to the server. Upon clicking cancel it responds with this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Protected Object This object on the IES-1000/SAM1008 is protected</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm curious how this sequence of numbers is able to resolve as a domain? </p>
  
  <p>It's not in any IP or DNS format that I recognize, it's very foreign to me. I was thinking it might be something on my network, so I went on a limb and pinged 1373592018 and it resolves to an Austrian IP.</p>
