I have just spent the arvo playing with IPv6 and brought up a tunnel using my web server as the tunnel endpoint in my network.<\/p>\n
Next thing I know every machine on the network (OS X\/Windows\/Linux) have been allocated IPv6 addresses in the \/56 network I requested from the broker.\u00a0 Turns out I activated the routing functionality and all the machines on the network received a broadcast routing update.\u00a0 IPv6 has a thing called stateless autoconfiguration that the devices then use to grab an IP address (based off the MAC address).<\/p>\n
And because the tunnel goes through the firewall, everything is visible on the Internet (found a nice site<\/a> that lets you port scan IPv6 addresses and verified).<\/p>\n As IPv6 becomes more available, I wonder how many people are going to find themselves opening up their network\u00a0without realising it?\u00a0 I wonder also if the bad guys have started scanning IPv6 address ranges – or is it still not worth the effort.\u00a0 And if so – for how long.<\/p>\n Now playing with ip6tables before I bring that tunnel back up…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have just spent the arvo playing with IPv6 and brought up a tunnel using my web server as the tunnel endpoint in my network.
