💅 flood_redir6 — the man page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, this is flood_redir6(8) from the IPv6 section of the manual — yes, section 8, the spicy admin-tools one 👑. Buckle up, she's a whole vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

flood_redir6 — literally the name, that's it, that's the entry 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flood_redir6 [-HFD] interface [target] [oldrouter [newrouter]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what she does is she floods the local network with ICMPv6 redirect packets — no cap, that's the whole assignment 💀.

And then the little header gremlins, listen closely:

  • -F / -D / -H each add a fragment / destination / hopbyhop header respectively, and the whole point of that is to bypass simple filters. Sneaky? Iconic. 🧚
  • -a adds hopbyhop with router alert — that's her other trick, and yes it's its own thing, don't mix it up with the [-HFD] trio above.
not me pointing out that the synopsis shows [-HFD] and -a lives in the description — that's just how the page is written, so that's how we're telling it, periodt 🫶
