Question: How do I scan the entire internet? #88

Hi, I took a look at masscan and cidr. According to stack overflow I should be able to scan every IP by using 0.0.0.0/0 but evilscan does not appear to scan anything.

Is there a different way on how to archive this in evilscan?

Okay, so, as 0.0.0.0/0 didnt work, I tried it with 0.0.0.0/1 and I got a heap limit Allocation failed (JavaScript heap out of memory) exception.

Seems like it is taking up too much memory.

I get the same memory overflow when using 128.0.0.0/1 (128 x Class A Network)

Trying to scan the entire internet is massive. You would need to break it down in smaller sections.

I know that it will take a while. I was planning to let it run on my Pi. So I would need to scan in chunks?
