[LAC-TF] IPv6 host scanning (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-host-scanning-04.txt)

FYI: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-host-scanning-04>

Al margen, una oracion para el día de hoy:

Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso,
Creador del Cielo y la pelota.
Creo en Maradona, su único Jugador, nuestro Señor,
que fue concebido por obra y gracia de la Doña Tota y Don Diego,
Nació en Villa Fiorito,
padeció bajo el poder Havelange.
Fue crucificado, suspendido y sepultado,
le cortaron las piernas, descendió a los infiernos,
al tercer día resucitó en Buenos Aires,
volvió a las canchas y está sentado a la derecha de Dios Padre todopoderoso.

Desde allí ha de venir a inspirar a la selección y a gambetear a los
muertos.
Creo en Messi, la Santa Iglesia Maradoniana,
la Mano de Dios, el bidón de Galindez,
que Toti Pasman LTA, y en que la copa venga a Buenos Aires.

Amen.

Saludos,
Fernando

Abstract:
   IPv6 offers a much larger address space than that of its IPv4
   counterpart.  An IPv6 subnet of size /64 can (in theory) accommodate
   approximately 1.844 * 10^19 hosts, thus resulting in a much lower
   host density (#hosts/#addresses) than is typical in IPv4 networks,
   where a site typically has 65,000 or less unique addresses.  As a
   result, it is widely assumed that it would take a tremendous effort
   to perform address scanning attacks against IPv6 networks, and
   therefore brute-force IPv6 address scanning attacks have been
   considered unfeasible.  This document updates RFC 5157, which first
   discussed this assumption, by providing further analysis on how
   traditional address scanning techniques apply to IPv6 networks, and
   exploring some additional techniques that can be employed for IPv6
   network reconnaissance.  In doing so, this document formally
   obsoletes RFC 5157.





Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
