Fake IP? What are you talking about?
That's becouse in this case your computer doesn't physicly belongs to the same network. Computers belonging to local network actualy belongs to same physical network and acces the web trough router wich transmits local network data to WAN network and vice versa. In a way router is come kind of a bridge between LAN and WAN networks.
But if you have some system wich needs to run on miltiple servers wich are spreaded troughout the globe you can't connect all theese servers to same physical network wich means that your network is somehow exposed to internet and this also increases its vulnerability.
Yes this topic is about hackers and what do you mean what have been hackers thinking even before they have done the hacking. One of the subjects was definitly thinking of whatkindoff passwords are most offtenly used. What do you think how was dictionary approach off breaking passwords developed in a first place?
And yes most systems have some safty feture wich prevents quesing passwords by trying thousands off different passwords in a short period. But since most of theese passwords is the same for longer periods the hacker actualy has so much time as that period lasts. Becouse of this there are a lot off systems wich actualy forces their users to change the passwords regulary. But since most humans have difficultis remembering their passwords they actually just use the same base password and just ads number a the end (predictable pattern wich makes guesing easier).
