Since the exhaustion of public IPv4 address space, the deployment of IPv6 is accelerating at a rapid pace. According to Internet Society, 70% of Verizon Wireless’ mobile network is comprised of IPv6 enabled devices. It is mandatory that organizations develop strategies to adopt IPv6 to create new public content on the Internet. Unfortunately, security is often overlooked when deploying new network technologies such as IPv6. IPv6 provides several options for node and service discovery without employing extensive port scans. Without proper protection, an attacker can trivially enumerate and potentially launch attacks on IPv6 networks. This talk presents insights into how an attacker may leverage IPv6 to enumerate and attack an IPv6 enabled network. Additionally, a new modular framework will be presented to identify if an IPv6 enabled network is susceptible to be enumerated and attacked.
