[ipv6hackers] Difficulty with scan6

[Marc Heuse]

you make me cry ...

I presented on the "common address technique" in in 2010 and also
published the first tool to implement this.

of course alive6 supports it.

It's the -D option. and you can see the option + description when
looking at the help output.
alive6 even has the ability to scan ranged you define on the command line.
in your example you wanted to scan a /112 subnet.
and if you specify this like this: 2600:54:b000::111:0-ffff
alive6 scans all 65536 addresses.
easy.

greets,
marc
