No, I'm just saying that the chances of a worm successfully finding the particular type of host that it's capable of infecting are far weaker than the chances of simply finding a pingable host. So yes, there'll be a lot of IPv6 devices, but it's still going to be really hard to find an infectable host by simply guessing addresses at random. noah -- Noah Meyerhans Computer Resource Services, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science
