"Scanning for Active IPv6 Hosts with UPnP"
A technique for identifying IPv6 hosts has been developed by researchers from Cisco Talos. The technique involves the use of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. It essential that tools have the capability to scan for IPv6 hosts as the adoption of IPv6 increases. Enterprise defenders need to be aware of which IPv6 hosts, connected to their networks, are directly accessible from the Internet. This article continues to discuss why it is important for mapping tools to be capable of finding IPv6 hosts and the technique developed by researchers to find these hosts.
