Yes, I'm an idiot for believing what I read on that site: "Requires Free Membership to View" Of course I should have expected that means "scroll past me and the page of whitespace to view." >>> (FWIW, it's a human-readable version of the IETF Internet-Draft I >>> published a month ago or so about IPv6 host scanning (see: >>> <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-host-scanning>)) >> >> I guess I'll take a look at this to see what you're smoking. > > I find it amazing the number of people that will talk crap when one > publishes something when compared to the number of people that provides > technical comments or criticism (even if it's "you're completely wrong > because of this and that). The draft and the article raise valid points about the predictability of widely-used MAC-derived IIDs, but it does not in any way justify the headline "Analysis: Vast IPv6 address space actually enables IPv6 attacks." Whomever wrote that should share their stash. Cheers, Dave Hart
