A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

yep I thought of the unplug copier thing too... but I got the feeling he was going deeper...
I did a quick search on virus that redirect ip addresseses that led me to dns hijacking as a search term which led me to
DNS hijacks: what to look for - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs
that article gives an excellent explanation of how it can be accomplished by the virus editing your hostfile and editing your dns entries on your nic... and it goes into other methods as well.. such as router attacks and forced govt internet censorship...
related search terms
dns cache poisoning
dns cache spoofing
at that point you are getting into
white hack ethical hacking and penetration testing...
if you are interested in that stuff... then grab a free copy of kali and install it on a thumb drive you are not using and boot into it from time to time and familiarize yourself... but I warn you that is a field all by itself... so you could be there for a long time...

I do this stuff on the weekends too
I was going deeper than that, I just used a bad example. Let me try again.
Lets say some rouge agent is handing out duplicate addresses. I want to find all devices on the same IP address and I want to find the source that's handing out the rouge IP addresses. What's the best way to do that?

Google is your friend. I found this with one simple search:
networking - How do I find if there is a rogue DHCP server on my Network? - Server Fault

I did google it before I asked. There were a wide range of suggestions, I'm just not experienced enough to know the best option. Now, in the link you posted, I did read one method that I hadn't read. And that is to disable to primary DHCP server and see if I get response back from somewhere else. So, thanks for the link.

For any Windows OS version the included the net command there was always net use lpt1 \printserver\printer where printserver is the IP address of the printer and printer is the hostname of the print device. It could be put in a batch file used to launch a program or even in the autoexec.bat file.
