A comprehensive IPv6 attack toolkit written in C, providing dozens of tools for spoofing, man-in-the-middle, denial-of-service, scanning, and fuzzing of IPv6 networks. It includes its own IPv6 library and tools like parasite6, alive6, fake_router6, and flood_router6.
Use cases
- test ipv6 network security
- perform ipv6 man in the middle attacks
- scan for live ipv6 hosts
- flood router advertisements to test dos resilience
- fuzz ipv6 protocol implementations
- bruteforce ipv6 dns names
- detect new ipv6 devices joining a network
When to choose
- you need a mature, comprehensive toolkit for ipv6 penetration testing on linux
- you want to audit ipv6 neighbor discovery, router advertisement, or MLD behavior
- you are doing ipv6 security research or lab exercises
When to avoid
- you need to run on non-Linux platforms or non-Ethernet links
- you want a passive monitoring or defensive-only tool
- you need a GUI-driven scanner rather than command-line tools
