Theory, Praxis and Hardening Basics in IPv6 Networks

This event is not going to be recorded

IPv6 isn't anymore what some would have mockingly called 'experimental IP' a while ago. IPv6 has been gaining traction in the last decade, mainly due to the 'much feared' IPv4 address-space exhaustion and the push for the, buzzword warning, Internet of Things. As everything in the Internet, the evolution and adoption of IPv6 has been fast-paced and shows no signs of slowing down. As of today in Germany 91.49% of transit AS are IPv6 ready, 40.96% of the top 500 websites are reachable over IPv6 and in just three years user access to the Internet over IPv6 rose from 1% to 18%[1]. This alone makes a strong case for better understanding the intricacies of IPv6 both in theory and practice.

Although the popular belief is that IPv6 is equivalent IPv4 plus longer addresses, the reality looks much grimmer for those coming into the IPv6 world. This three-hour workshop is directed at those who want to get acquainted with the terminology, the protocols, configuration, operation and hardening in IPv6 networks. To this end, a mixture of theoretical and practical sessions will take place.

Target Audience:

Participants of the MRMCD2015 who are interested in learning about the IPv6 stack as well as the configuration and hardening of IPv6 networks.

Pre-requisites:

It is assumed that participants have a basic understanding of network operations, the OSI reference model and the IPv4 stack. Additionally, participants should be willing to work with the Linux and Cisco IOS command line interfaces.

Materials:

- A laptop with an Ethernet port or an USB-Ethernet adapter and administrative privileges.
- A system with a version of VirtualBox not older than 4.2_26 installed.
- A great attitude :)

Agenda*:

- Introduction to IPv6
- IPv6 Core Protocols
- IPv6 Network Configuration
- Attack Surface of IPv6 Networks
