💖 fake_advertise6 💖

okay so bestie, this is fake_advertise6 from the thc-ipv6 toolkit — the eighth-section (admin/system) page, and it's lowkey iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fake_advertise6 [-DHF] [-Ors] [-n count] [-w seconds] interface ip-
address-advertised [target-address [mac-address-advertised [source-ip-
address]]]

So what does it actually do? It advertises an IPv6 address out onto the network — using its own MAC if you don't hand it one — and it sends that to the all-nodes multicast address when you don't set a target address. And the source IP address? If you don't set it, it just is the address being advertised. the way that works is honestly so clean ✨

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

Sending options (the "how much / how fast / from where" girlies) 💌

  • -n count — send count packets. default is forever, bestie — no cap, it just keeps going 😭
  • -w seconds — the wait time between the packets it sends. default: 5.
  • -m srcmac — the srcmac address to send from. ⚠️ heads up: this is not what gets advertised! just the source, iykyk.

Flag options (little toggles, big energy) 🎀

  • -O — do NOT set the override flag (default: on).
  • -r — DO set the router flag (default: off).
  • -s — DO set the solicitate flag (default: off).

ND Security evasion options (can be combined — mix and match, slay) 🦋

  • -F — full evasion attack. 🚨 no other evasion options allowed with this one, periodt.
  • -H — add a hop-by-hop header.
  • -f — add a one shot fragment header. can be specified multiple times, so go off 💅
  • -D — add a large destination header which fragments the packet.
