Abstract
In 1998, the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) was developed as a next generation Internet Protocol (IP) standard to replace IPv4, when it was believed that the Internet was running out of IP addresses. The new IPv6 protocol was built to handle packets more efficiently, improve performance, increase security, and reduce the size of routing tables by making them more hierarchical. Companies reported that complexity, costs, and time hindered their efforts to move to IPv6. The adoption of IPv6 was delayed because many organizations have been using Network Address Translation (NAT) as a way to extend the life of their IPv4 addresses, but this temporary work around is no longer sustainable. Twenty-Five years later, it’s about time we put more focus on expanding the availability of IP addresses to accommodate the explosion in the number of internet devices and implementing a more secure internet protocol. Tyrone E. Wilson will discuss how you can use open-source tools to provide a better understanding of the IPv6 Protocol. He will also demonstrate how to perform network enumeration and attacks over IPv6.
