[ipv6hackers] IPv6 scanning (was Re: Help wanted: Nmap IPv6 OSDetection)

[John Morrison]

List,

Security through obscurity is rarely a good idea. Personally I would
rather have a logical and easy to use network addressing scheme and
rely on other network security techniques than hope nobody guesses
what addresses I use.

ACLs, firewalls, IDS/IPS, VLANs, are all useful.
