NAME

       ipv6toolkit - An IPv6 security assessment and trouble-shooting toolkit

DESCRIPTION

       The  SI6  Networks' IPv6 Toolkit is a security assessment and trouble-shooting toolkit for
       IPv6 networks and implementations. It provides a number of tools  to  send  abitrary  IPv6
       packets, perform IPv6 address-scans, analyze IPv6 addresses, etc.

       The current version of the toolkit includes the following tools:

         * addr6
         * flow6
         * frag6
         * icmp6
         * jumbo6
         * na6
         * ni6
         * ns6
         * ra6
         * rd6
         * rs6
         * scan6
         * tcp6

       addr6  is  an IPv6 address analysis and manipulation tool. Given a list of IPv6 addresses,
       it can filter such list based on different criteria,  such  as  IPv6  address  type,  IPv6
       address  scope,  IPv6  prefix, etc. Additionally, given a list of IPv6 addresses addr6 can
       produce statistics on such addresses, including address scopes, types, and  type  of  IPv6
       interface  identifier.  addr6 can also analyze a single address, producing script-friendly
       output, such that its analysis can be leveraged by other tools or scripts.

       flow6 allows the security assessment of the  IPv6  Flow  Label.  Essentially,  it  can  be
       leveraged to assess the Flow Label generation policy of a terget implementation.

       frag6  is  a  security assessment tool for the IPv6 fragmentation mechanism. It allows the
       exploitation of fragmentation-based attacks, and  can  also  be  employed  to  assess  the
       Fragment Identification generation policy, assess support for IPv6 atomic fragments, etc.

       icmp6  is  a  security  assessment  tool  for  the  ICMPv6 protocol. It can easily produce
       arbitrary ICMPv6 error messages, and includes the capability to generate such messages  in
       response  to  received traffic.  icmp6 can also be used to send crafted ICMPv6 messages of
       arbitrary type/code combinations.

       jumbo6 is a secuity assessment tool for IPv6 Jumbograms.

       na6 is a security assessment tool for  attack  vectors  based  on  Neighbor  Advertisement
       messages (including Neighbor Cache poisoning attacks, DAD attacks, etc.).

       ni6  is a security assessment tool for attacks vectors and reconnaissance techniques based
       on ICMPv6 Node Information messages.

       ns6 is a security assessment tool  for  attack  vectors  based  on  Neighbor  Solicitation
       messages  (including  Neighbor  Cache poisoning attacks, Neighbor Cahe exhaustion attacks,
       etc.).

       ra6 is a security assessment  tool  for  attack  vectors  based  on  Router  Advertisement
       messages  (including  various  types  of  fooding  attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and
       Denial of Service attacks, etc.).

       rd6 is a security assessment tool for attack vectors based on  ICMPv6  Redirect  messages.
       It can easily produce arbitrary ICMPv6 Redirect messages, and also includes the capability
       to generate such messages in response to received traffic.

       rs6 is a security  assessment  tool  for  attack  vectors  based  on  Router  Solicitation
       messages.

       scan6  is  a  full-fledged  IPv6  address  scanning tool, which can leverage specific IPv6
       address patterns to greatly reduce the search space for "alive" nodes.

       tcp6 is a security assessment tool for attack vectors based on TCP/IPv6 packets. It can be
       easily  employed  to  launch classic TCP-based attacks such as SYN-floods, but can also be
       employed to launch other more complex attacks such as TCP connection floods, etc.
