Hi, NANOGers. Folks who are considering or using IPv6 should know that the miscreants are as well. There have been IPv6 bots and botnets. IPv6 based hosts are regularly used as a bounce for IRC access. IPv6 DoS tools do exist. Many of your monitoring tools choke on IPv6, or ignore it entirely.
So while a new approach to security with IPv6 may be warranted, many of the same old threats await you there. Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com Shaving with Occam's razor since 1999.
