Fast IPv6 scanning is challenging in the field of network measurement as it
requires exploring the whole IPv6 address space but limited by current
computational power. Researchers propose to obtain possible active target
candidate sets to probe by algorithmically analyzing the active seed sets.
However, IPv6 addresses lack semantic information and contain numerous
addressing schemes, leading to the difficulty of designing effective
algorithms. In this paper, we introduce our approach 6VecLM to explore
achieving such target generation algorithms. The architecture can map addresses
into a vector space to interpret semantic relationships and uses a Transformer
network to build IPv6 language models for predicting address sequence.
Experiments indicate that our approach can perform semantic classification on
address space. By adding a new generation approach, our model possesses a
controllable word innovation capability compared to conventional language
models. The work outperformed the state-of-the-art target generation algorithms
on two active address datasets by reaching more quality candidate sets.
