Ipv6 hitlists at scale: Be careful what you wish for

E Rye, D Levin - Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2023 Conference, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Today's network measurements rely heavily on Internet-wide scanning, employing tools like
ZMap that are capable of quickly iterating over the entire IPv4 address space. Unfortunately …

Seeds of Scanning: Exploring the Effects of Datasets, Methods, and Metrics on IPv6 Internet Scanning

G Williams, P Pearce - Proceedings of the 2024 ACM on Internet …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
