Anyone can put your CEO's address in the "From" field. The mail server delivers it happily. This graphic shows why: Actual sender -> [email protected] What you see -> [email protected] SPF and DKIM check the hidden parts. Only DMARC checks the address you actually SEE.

255.255.255.0 is not a magic number. It's just 1s and 0s wearing a costume: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 1 = network bit (fixed) 0 = host bit (yours to assign) 255 is what a byte of all 1s looks like in decimal. That's it. That's the whole trick.
