Abstract

IP version 6 is available in most recent products such as routers, firewalls and operating systems. Administrators and security professionals are faced to new challenges when configuring or checking an IPv6 implementation. They need IPv6 compatible tools. Network testing requires two simple components: a tool to send network packets, and a sniffer to intercept and display them. Most sniffers already recognize IPv6 packets (Ethereal, tcpdump, etc.). This article describes netwox toolbox which can be used to send IPv6 packets.
