'IP' stands for Internet Protocol-it decribes the way information is sent and received over the Internet. An IP number is a 32 bit number assigned to any device that wishes to communicate over the Internet. Typically the IP number is represented as a set of four numbers in the range 0-255 - an address is usually written as these four numbers separated by dots. It can also be shown as one big number in decimal or hexadecimal.

An IP address, for instance, is a ubiquitous part of the online experience, but few know what it is. And, even scarier, many don't know the kind of information IP addresses can reveal. At its core, an IP address is an online unique identifier. Every computer has its own IP address, and it is through this naming system that computers can connect with each other and share data. A standard IP address (using what's known as the IPv4 protocol) contains four individual numbers separated by a decimal.
