Course DescriptionThe IPv4 address pool was exhausted in February, 2011. It is essential for all networks to upgrade to IPv6 now. This will involve upgrading routers, servers, applications, and end devices.This class covers IPv6 forward and backwards: Forward: IPv6 BasicsWe will cover the basic concepts of IPv6, including:
Backwards: Hacking IPv6IPv6 includes many highly dangerous techniques, such as autoconfigured addresses, tunneling, and multi-homing. These open up many security holes, which we will explore both in theory and practice.Students will do many projects performing new IPv6 attacks, and securing systems to resist them. This will include the IPv6 Router Advertisement Flood attack, which stops evern Windows machine on a Local Area Network in seconds. It is still unpatched--a zero-day attack.
Prerequisite KnowledgeStudents should be familiar with IPv4 addresses and routing at the Network+ level.Beginners should focus on attaining IPv6 Certification and the "Forward" track. More advanced students, who are already certified, can focus on the "Backwards" track, hacking IPv6 networks and exploiting their weaknesses.
