    Well, there are a lot of possibilites. It could be a hack-bot deployed
    on a computer with a masked IP, which randomly targets different
    gateways. It could be a glitch in your software as well. However, it is
    probably a masked IP, if you cannot ping or traceroute it. Which means
    that it is probably a hacker or a hack-bot.
