🦋 randicmp6 — the ICMPv6 chaos gremlin, section 8, IPv6 💅

ok so bestie, this is randicmp6 from the IPv6 corner of the manual, and it is literally the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" of packet tools. No cap.

💖 NAME 💖

randicmp6 — it sends all ICMPv6 type and code combinations to the destination. Like, every single one. The whole menu. 🎀

Two little knobs to know about:

  • -s sets the source IPv6 address, so you're not just rolling with whatever the kernel felt like picking that day.
  • -p means it will not print the answers it receives. So all that incoming chatter? Gone. Muted. Not me ignoring my notifications energy. 🙈
fr fr, this thing is a lot of packets — it's giving "main character energy" directed at one destination. Make sure that's actually a thing you're allowed to do where you're standing. 💀

The homepage for this toolkit is: https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-ipv6 — go give it a look, it's lowkey a whole vibe. ⭐

And here's the syntax, in all its glory, exactly as it's written (yes it lives under the copyright section, that's just how this page is, don't come for me 💀):

Syntax: ./randicmp6 [-p] [-s sourceip] interface destination [type [code]]

So: optional -p, optional -s sourceip, then the interface, the destination, and optionally a type and then a code if you wanna narrow it down. Periodt. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie 🧚 — this gem is from THC, dated 2022-06-19, and it's the randicmp6(8) page for IPv6. mwah 💜
