And do add to this, this presentation: https://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2012kul/materials/D1T2%20-%20Marc%20Heuse%20-%20IPv6%20Insecurity%20Revolutions.pdf gives in the 2nd half a step-by-step guide on how to identify and scan remote IPv6 networks. A second tool to perform remote scanning is mentioned there: alive6 which is part of the thc-ipv6 toolkit available at www.thc.org/thc-ipv6. plus 50 more tools for IPv6 (in)security. enjoy!
