IPV6 security question (from textbook).
Hi,
I am taking an ecommerce security course and have found this site really helpful (especially since i am not exclusively a linux user).
The following question appears at the end of a chapter on PC and Server security.
Worms like Code Red scanned most of the entire IP address space looking for vulnerable computers to infect. How will the advent of IPv6 and it's huge address space affect the ability of a worm to propogate itself?
does anyone have any thoughts on this ?
