# Exploiting IPv6 Vulnerabilities
## When to Use
- Testing whether dual-stack networks have consistent security controls for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic
- Demonstrating risks from unmanaged IPv6 on networks where only IPv4 is officially supported
- Exploiting SLAAC and Router Advertisement mechanisms to perform man-in-the-middle attacks via IPv6
- Testing IPv6-aware firewall rules and IDS/IPS detection for IPv6-specific attack patterns
- Identifying IPv6 tunneling protocols (6to4, Teredo, ISATAP) that bypass IPv4-only security controls
**Do not use** on production networks without written authorization, against systems where IPv6 disruption could cause safety issues, or for denial-of-service attacks against network infrastructure.
## Most Often Missed & How to Confirm
- **mitm6 only bites Windows that prefer IPv6 DNS:** it relies on Windows issuing a DHCPv6 `Solicit` after seeing your RA. SLAAC-only Linux/macOS hosts ignore it, so an empty mitm6 console is **not** proof the network is safe — confirm victims are Windows and that DHCPv6 reaches them.
