Presentation Title: Attacking the IPv6 Protocol Suite
Presentation Details:
IPv6 is arriving slowly in Europe, but an important topic in Japan and South Korea, as IPv4 addresses are scarce. IPv6 will change the issues of security and hacking by a large degree. This speech will give a short introduction on the protocol differences, then show the vulnerabilities in the protocols and finally present the THC-IPV6 Attack Toolkit which includes the tools for all vulnerabilities shown, as well as a very easy packet crafting library.
