apache - After Zuckerberg launched facemash, how did other people's PCs connect to Zuckerberg's computer?

Question

How did other people's PCs connect to Zuckerberg's computer? Zuckerberg made the program overnight and released it that night.
He didn't apply for a domain name or do any work together to build the website?

Is there no way to use my own computer as a server to launch a website without registering a domain name? Can those hackers hack into other people's computers? How can they find the IP of other people's computers?

Answer 1

The following is just my guess:
In terms of IP, there are two situations: 2. Zach and his classmates are using the campus network. According to my experience, computers in the campus network can access each other. At this time, as long as Zach builds a website on his computer. At least his classmates on the same campus network can access the website on his computer through IP; 2. Alternatively, the IP dialed by people dialing up for Internet access is the public IP (in IP In less stressful times, it is very possible for an ISP to assign you a public IP), so that people all over the world can access the website on his computer.
In terms of domain names, it is possible that people have already applied for their own domain names. It is not surprising that these hackers have several domain names on their hands at any time. Applying for a domain name is not troublesome (for now), and it does not cost a fortune in China. It takes half a month to register. Besides, a movie can't tell you step by step how to apply for a domain name. It's not an instructional movie.
apache is the name of an organization and also the name of a web service program.
PS, a movie is a movie, don’t take the details too seriously.

Answer 2

According to the information I have learned, Zuckerberg published it using Harvard’s on-campus server, which should be provided by the school for students to study. Since it was an on-campus server, students should be able to access it. Whether it was IP or domain name, it didn't matter in those days. However, facemash was only online for about a week. Because the school server was overwhelmed, the school shut down the website.
