Furthermore, is not that a way to describe a Linear Congruential Generator (You know, rand()?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator by looking at the source (https://github.com/zmap/zmap/blob/master/src/cyclic.c#L164 https://github.com/zmap/zmap/blob/master/src/cyclic.c#L164) it really looks like it, specifically a Lehmer random number generator. That would mean the period of the generator is not exactly 2^32 but it repeats 15 IPs... EDIT: Now I see it, it actually generates numbers over 2^32 but the code just skips them...nasty! I'm surely missing something, or else that's a usenix paper wasting 2 pages explaining rand()
