Similarly, multicast addresses always begin with FF0x, where the x is a placeholder representing a number from 1 to 8. Probably the best-known example of this is that link local unicast addresses always begin with FE80. IPv6 reserves certain headers for different types of addresses. Like IPv4, IPv6 has a few special addresses and ways of doing things that should be noted. So, for example, browsing to will give you an error on google however if you try to browse to it without your browser will not understand it. However, when it comes to IPv6, you need to add a set of brackets around an address for your browser to recognise it. Firstly when it comes to browsing to a web application over IPv4, it is as simple as chucking the address into the URL bar, and your browser will take you to the respective site/application on that IP. Much like IPv4 addresses, interacting with IPv6 can be done in a multitude of ways and there are special addresses similar to IPv4 that do different things. Now that is a big number, but it doesn't account for nearly as many people on the planet, and thus connected devices. It created after one bright spark pointed out that the current Internet addressing system, IPv4, only has room for about 4 billion addresses. So for those of you who don't know, IPv6 is at some point going to be a reality for the content we all access on the internet. By this methodology, it is somewhat correct however I find myself and others winging it from time to time on obscure technologies! Someone said to me recently to be able to hack something you must first understand the technology or app you're hacking.
And, many big and small companies are using it but it isn't what a lot of people are used to & for this reason, there's not often much written down about how to hack at it, find flaws and exploit them.įor this reason, this post will dive into what IPv6 is, some information about different schemas within the protocol & how to attack IPv6 addresses. Don't get me wrong, it is available(it has been for a while now). IPv6 is the demon that many testers dare not touch very often as it is still not the norm or widely adopted.
