Survey on IPv6 address scanning technology based on seed sources by Guo LI, Lin HE, Guanglei SONG, Zhiliang WANG, Jiahai YANG, Zimu LI

“…Nowadays,the state-of-the-art technologies can spend a very short time to scan the whole IPv4 space,but these methods cannot be applied to the huge IPv6 space easily.Therefore,many researchers propose different heuristic algorithms for the sake of IPv6 scanning.The common way of these algorithms is to input collected IPv6 seed addresses and output new most likely active IPv6 addresses as candidates for later scanning.These methods greatly reduce the scanning range of the active address area.These technologies based on seed addresses were classified,analyzed and summarized,and detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each method was given.And the several challenges faced by the methods were discussed.73M seed addresses were collected in total from two sources,including published IPv6 datasets in papers and Beijing Node of China Education and Research Network.Through the proposed experiments,time performance and hit rate of four IPv6 address scanning technologies based on seed addresses was compared.Finally,the own thoughts on this field and some future research directions were proposed.…”
