Secu3: IPv6 Security

The days of networks that solely are based on the internet protocol in version 4 will soon be numbered. Many areas are therefore already using version 6 (IPv6) of the internet protocol. Current operating systems often automatically support this protocol without the need for interaction on the part of the user. This situation harbors a danger in that security gaps may occur here. IT officers are often unaware of these security gaps because they do not know about them. Nevertheless, data traffic should be secured with IPv6 in the same way as with IPv4.

The operating mode of IPv6 as well as the mechanisms of the protocol, which are also used by attackers, are thus an important topic. This topic has become part of the training regarding network security (Hack10). It will be treated in the context of typical network topics and can be experienced in practical exercises.
