💖 NAME 💖

fake_mld6 — that’s the name, periodt 🎀. No extra subtitle, no secret lore, just fake_mld6. And yes bestie, this is the fake_mld6(8) manual page, section 8, filed under IPv6 ✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the whole recipe is:

fake_mld6 [-l] interface add|delete|query [multicast-address [ttl [own-ip [own-mac-address [destination-mac-address]]]]]

ngl, on the original page that synopsis line wraps after own-, so it looks like own- / ip; the actual token is own-ip, iykyk 🦋.

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

the optional chain goes multicast-address → ttl → own-ip → own-mac-address → destination-mac-address, all nested like this: [multicast-address [ttl [own-ip [own-mac-address [destination-mac-address]]]]] 🫶.
