Use left/right on the analog stick (not the d-pad!) to select portions of
the IP address cycling at the right side of the screen. As numbers on that
address light up, quickly move to them and hit X to lock in that portion of
the number. That'll cause the list of IP addresses at the left to narrow.
Use up/down on the analog stick to move along that list of IP addresses,
and hit A when you think you've selected the right one.
You win the hack when you either lock in all four portions of the address
on the right, or when you select the correct address on the left. For the
most part, if you keep at the locking-in, you'll eventually get the list on
the left down to one choice, so just hit A. If you miss a lock-in(they
eventually unlight, if you don't move to them fast enough), try to remember
what that portion was. Then you can use that information to help select
the correct address on the left, even if it's not locked in, like Zackman
is apparently doing with all four portions.
