Title : Network Reconnaissance in IPv6 Networks
Author(s) : F. Gont
Filename : draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-host-scanning
Pages : 25
Date : July 30, 2012
IPv6 offers a much larger address space than that of its IPv4
counterpart. The standard /64 IPv6 subnets can (in theory)
accommodate approximately 1.844 * 10^19 hosts, thus resulting in a
much lower host density (#hosts/#addresses) than their IPv4
counterparts. As a result, it is widely assumed that it would take a
tremendous effort to perform address scanning attacks against IPv6
networks, and therefore IPv6 address scanning attacks have long been
considered unfeasible. This document analyzes how traditional
address scanning techniques apply to IPv6 networks, and also explores
a number of techniques that can be employed for IPv6 network
reconnaissance.
