A DEF CON 22 panel with Rob Graham, Paul McMillan and Dan Tentler on the quirks of scanning the entire internet with masscan. They discuss how fast IPv4 can be scanned and what the results reveal.

HN cites it as evidence that scanning the whole IPv4 address space is trivial and takes only minutes to hours.
