I sure hope not, this will bring in a new era for internet worms.
If some ISPs are not currently firewalling all incoming IPv6 connections, it's a major security risk. I hope some security researcher raises boise about that soon, and the firewalls will go closed by default.

- modeless 2y agoHas there been a big ipv6 worm? I thought that the defense against worms was that scanning the address space was impractical due to the large size.
- 1oooqooq 2y agoi don't think they scan the entire space. but even before that there were ones abusing bonjour/upnp which is what chrome will bring back with this feature.
- immibis 2y agoMy home router seems to have a stateful firewall and so does my cellphone in tethering mode - I don't know whether that one's implemented on the phone (under my control) or the network. Firewalling goes back in the control of the user in most cases - the other day we on IRC told someone how to unblock port 80 on their home router.
