flood_advertise6(8)

πŸ’… flood_advertise6(8) β€” the IPv6 one, bestie

okay so real talk, this is flood_advertise6, from the IPv6 section of the manual (section 8, iykyk). she's a little menace and we love her for it. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

flood_advertise6 β€” literally just her name, no notes, that's the whole vibe πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flood_advertise6 [-k | -m mac] interface [target]

okay so what she does: she floods your local network with neighbor advertisements 🌈 like, the whole LAN is getting these, no cap.

now the sourcing tea, because this part matters:

  • -k β†’ sends with your real src mac. you, authentically. main character energy πŸ’…
  • -m β†’ sends with a specified src mac (that's the mac you hand her). pick your own adventure πŸ¦‹
  • neither one? β†’ random for each packet. chaotic, iconic, every single packet a new identity 😭✨

and yeah, -k and -m are mutually exclusive β€” it's -k | -m mac, pick a lane bestie 🫢
