Heard about that too! Is there an updated version for ipv6?

That file would be ungodly large. There are 2^128 possible addresses, each weighing in at 128 bits, 16 bytes. 16 bytes times 340 trillion trillion trillion. That puts us around 5.44 trillion Zettabytes. The estimates I've seen for worldwide data storage sit aroun 60-70 zettabytes.

IPv6 version is just a Python script that generates random 128-bit integers. Eventually you'll hit a valid IPv6 address!
