There are "smarter" ways to scan v6 address space than this approach. My favorite is "First, the attacker may rely on the administrator conveniently numbering their hosts from [prefix]::1 upward. This makes scanning trivial." Take a look at:http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-v6ops-scanning- implications-03.txt
