🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for fake_router6(8) — the IPv6 one 💖. The name is fake_router6, and that's the whole NAME section, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fake_router6 [-HFD] interface network-address/prefix-length [dns-server [router-ip-link-local [mtu [mac-address]]]]

So the lineup is: interface, then network-address/prefix-length, then optionally dns-server, then router-ip-link-local, then mtu, then mac-address — nested brackets, bestie, so the optional things go in that order.

The actual mission: announce yourself as a router and try to become the default router. If a non-existing link-local or mac address is supplied, this results in a DOS — yes, the manual says that, so be careful 🙈.

Tiny flag decode:

  • -H — adds hop-by-hop.
  • -F — adds fragmentation header.
  • -D — adds dst header.
