I have a test helper which produces a random 8-character string
consisting of mixed-case alphabetic characters; however, there's a small
chance (6/26^8 == 0.0008%) that it would produce a valid 8-character
hexadecimal string, which could be mistakenly recognized as an IP
address, which _might_ break a test.
Out of an abundance of caution, I guard against producing an 8-byte
string that might be accidentally recognized as 8-byte hexadecimal
notation by making sure the first & last bytes are NOT hex characters.
- That's where the code is expected to be
- The only reason the code was buried two directories down was because
it was originally a BOSH release
- There hasn't been a BOSH release in over two years; last one was Feb
26, 2022
- Other than a slight adjustment to the relative location of
`blocklist.txt` file in the integration tests, there were no other
changes
