💅 bestie, this is dos-new-ip6(8) from the IPv6 manual 💅

okay so we're doing the whole page for dos-new-ip6, and it's giving "small tool, big chaos" energy. Let's go. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

dos-new-ip6 — that's the name, no notes. ✨

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

dos-new-ip6 [-S] interface

So here's the whole vibe: this tool prevents new IPv6 interfaces to come up, by sending answers to duplicate ip6 checks (DAD). And yeah — this results in a DOS for new IPv6 devices. 😭 Not a cute look for the new devices, but that's literally what it does.

  • -S — sends conflicting NS query instead of NA reply, but it restricts source randomization. 🙈
