Sure, but it's not like the next IIS worm is going to work on your 3G cell phone. ( Oh, please, cell phone vendors, don't start embedding IIS in your phones! ) Yes there will be a lot of IPv6 devices, but they'll be really really diverse, both in terms of software and hardware. My question, though, is this: Would it not be possible to find out all the local nodes by pinging ff02::1? That'd make it a lot easier to find likely targets without having to make random guesses. noah
