Summary:The reliability of the “Internet Census 2012” (IC), an anonymously published scan of he entire IPv4 address space, is not a priori clear. As a step towards validation of this dataset, we compare it to logged reference data on a /16 network, and present an approach to systematically handle uncertainties in timestamps in the IC and reference data. We find evidence the scan indeed took place, and a 93 % match with the /16 reference data.
