1 Introduction
As the end of GSoC 2012 will come in the next few days, i am proud to announce IPv6-guard. IPv6-guard is an IPv6 attack detector tool including some defense mechanisms to protect against most of recent attacks on ipv6 protocol suite.
2 IPv6-Guard
2.1 How it works
At first, the tool will gather “genuine” informations of connected network. Those information includes IP and MAC address of neighbors and routers on the network.After first time run, IPv6-guard will save this information to use later, if anything has change,it will ask for confirmation ( User can edit “/data/genuine.info” to add more interface if need). If the network is under attack, some invalid information might be detected and it will ask you to verify what information is “genuine”. IPv6-Guard will use collected information and signatures against every received packet to detect and mitigate IPv6 attacks from the network.
