Why Trust Us

Find the IP address of a server that you know, for example: google.com.

Java, as usual, provides a very easy mechanism to retrieve the IP address of a server that you know.

import java.net.*;public class FindIPByName {       static String url = "google.com";   public static void main(String[] args) {            if (args.length == 1)         url = args[0];      try       {         System.out.println(InetAddress.getByName(url));      }catch(java.net.UnknownHostException uhe)      {         System.out.println("Unknown host: " + url);      }    }}/*

Expected output:

[root@mypc]# java FindIPByName google.com/216.58.220.46[root@mypc]#[root@mypc]# java FindIPByName Oracle.comOracle.com/137.254.120.50*/
