Study on attacking and defending techniques in IPv6 networks

Abstract

Although widely deployed in recent years, the IPv6 protocols still have many security problems, especially the Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) Attack in IPv6 Local Area Network. This paper presents an IPv6 MITM Attack test system to help users aware the security risks, and then design a defending tool using DNSSEC to avoid session hijack attack in IPv6 Networks.
