It is hex (that's why I prepended the 0x), and if you know enough to
recognize it, the rest is easy to explain.

Now change each byte from hex to decimal, and you get
42 DA 47 53
66.218.71.83
BTW, other log reports (such as Martian logging) make the conversion
trickier by reversing the order of the bytes. There's a FAQ response
somewhere about doing that more involved conversion.
