"published" and "available" are misleading at best.
It is not. Just scroll down the page, and you'll find the whole article. -- it was easy to talk crap than to do that, right?
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
