As I'm ramping up with IPv6 here I keep running into plenty of "how should this be done?" moments. End user subnets are easy, enable SLAAC, some DHCPv6 for DNS and let the hosts pick their own ...

Security researchers last week have released a tool that cuts down from hours to just minutes that time it takes to launch an attack using IPv6 SLAAC. Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) is a ...

A group of researchers from Neohapsis Labs released a tool last weekend during DEF CON that drops the time needed for a Man-in-the-Middle attack using IPv6 (SLAAC Attack), from hours down to minutes ...
