💖 NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, meet inject_alive6 — yes, it's inject_alive6(8), and this page lives under the IPv6 manual. It's the tunnel keep-alive girly. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole mood:

inject_alive6 [-ap] interface

interface is the interface you're pointing it at. The [-ap] bundle is where the flags live:

  • Option -a — will actively send alive requests every 15 seconds. Yes, every single 15 seconds. ⏰
  • Option -p — will not send replies to alive requests. It's giving "seen, but no response." 💅

What it actually does: this tool answers to keep-alive requests on PPPoE and 6in4 tunnels; for PPPoE it also sends keep-alive requests. No cap. 🌈

Important bestie note: the appropriate environment variable THC_IPV6_{PPPOE|6IN4} must be set. That's not optional — the manpage says it must be set. 🚨
