🦋 NAME 🦋

okay bestie, this is fake_mld26 — like, the fake_mld26(8) page, and yes it's the IPv6 one. Manual name? Right here. Section? 8. We're so back.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fake_mld26 [-l] interface add|delete|query [multicast-address [target-address-to-subscribe-from [ttl [own-ip [own-mac-address [destination-mac-address]]]]]]

This uses the MLDv2 protocol. Only a subset of what the protocol is able to do is possible to implement via a command line — that's the whole mood. Code it if you need something.

Your positional lineup starts with interface, then one of add, delete, or query:

  • add / delete — ad(d)vertise or delete yourself — or anyone you want — in a multicast group of your choice. 💅
  • query — ask on the network who is listening to multicast addresses. 👀
  • -l — loop and send (in 5s intervals) until Ctrl+C (aka Control-C) is pressed. 🔁

Then the optional args nest in this exact order, no cap: multicast-address, target-address-to-subscribe-from, ttl, own-ip, own-mac-address, destination-mac-address. Keep those brackets exactly where they are, bestie.
