Yet another good reason to use IPv6
- gnyman 3y agoIPv6 won't get found by brute-force but there are a few projects which tries to gather IPv6 addresses using various means and scans them as they are found. Shodan did (maybe still does) provided NTP servers to some ntp-pools and scanned anyone who sent incoming requests. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/using-ipv6-with-linux-youve-likely-been-visited-by-shodan-and-other-scanners/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/using... So as with everything, layer the defences, don't rely on you IPv6 address being secret as the only defence.
