Hi Alejandro, all,

This is a side diversion, however, just FYI, nmap does indeed support
IPv6 just fine. However as pointed out, due to the sheer size of the
address space, it's not practical to use it to scan a prefix. But for
a detailed scan of a single host's ports/services, yes, you can use v6
with nmap.

Cheers,
Daniel
