| Abstract | In recent years, IPv6 and its application are more and more widely deployed. Most network devices support and open IPv6 protocol stack. The security of IPv6 network is also concerned. In the IPv6 network security technology, address scanning is a key and difficult point. This paper presents a TGAs-based IPv6 address scanning method. It takes the known alive IPv6 addresses as input, and then utilizes the information entropy and clustering technology to mine the distribution law of seed addresses. Then, the final optimized target address set can be obtained by expanding from the seed address set according to the distribution law. Experimental results show that it can effectively improve the efficiency of IPv6 address scanning. |
