# IPv6 Basic theory
2022-05-01 12:49:36 +00:00
## Networks
In an IPv6 address, the **first 48 bits are the network prefix**. The **next 16 bits are the subnet ID** and are used for defining subnets. The last **64 bits are the interface identifier** (which is also known as the Interface ID or the Device ID, is for devices). If necessary, the bits that are normally reserved for the Device ID can be used for additional subnet masking.

There is not ARP in IPv6. Instead, there is **ICMPv6 NS (Neighbor Solicitation) and NA (Neighbor Advertisement)**. The **NS** is used to resolve and address, so it sends **multicast** packets. The **NA** is **unicast** as is used to answer the NS. A NA packet could also be sent without needing a NS packet.
**0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1** = 1 (`::1` for short) This is 127.0.0.1 equivalent in IPv4.
**Link-local Addresses:** These are private address that is not meant to be routed on the internet. They can be used locally by private or temporary LANs for sharing and distribution of file among devices on the LAN. Other devices in your local LAN using this kind of addresses can be found sending a ping to the multicast address ff02::01\
**FE80::/10** Link-local unicast address range.
```bash
ping6 I eth0 -c 5 ff02::1 > /dev/null 2>&1
ip neigh | grep ^fe80
#Or you could also use
alive6 eth0
```
2021-11-30 16:46:07 +00:00
If you **know the MAC address of a host in the same net** as you (you could just ping its ipv4 address and view the arp table to found its MAC address), you can calculate his Link-local address to communicate with him.\
Suppose the **MAC address** is **`12:34:56:78:9a:bc`**
1. To IPv6 notation: **`1234:5678:9abc`**
2. Append `fe80::` at the begging and Insert `fffe` in the middle: **`fe80::`**`1234:56`**`ff:fe`**`78:9abc`
3. Invert seventh bit from the left, from 0001 0010 to 0001 0000: `fe80::1`**`0`**`34:5678:9abc`
4. `fe80::1034:5678:9abc`
**Unique local address:** This type of ipv6 address also not intended to be routed on the public internet. Unique local is a replacement of site-local address, that allows communication within a site while being routable to a multiple local networks.\
**FEC00::/7** The unique local address range.
**Multicast Address:** This can also be refered to as One-to-Many. Packets addressed to multicast address are delivered to all interface identified by the multicast address. Multicast address types are easily notable because they normally begins with FF.\
**FF00::/8** The multicast range.
**Anycast:** This form of ipv6 address is similar to the multicast address with a slight difference. Anycast address can also be refered to as One to Nearest. It can be used to address packets meant for multiple interfaces; but usually it sends packets to the first interface it finds as defined in the routing distance. This means it send packets to the closest interface as determined by routing protocols.\
2021-11-30 16:46:07 +00:00
**20000::/3** The global unicast address range.
fe80::/10--> Unique Link-Local (169.254.x.x) \[fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000,febf:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff]\
fc00::/7 --> Unique Local-Unicast (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x) \[]\
2000::/3 --> Global Unicast\
ff02::1 --> Multicast All Nodes\
ff02::2 --> Multicast Router Nodes
2022-05-01 12:49:36 +00:00
## **Guess the IPv6 of a machine**
**Way 1**
The IPv6 of fe80::/10 are based on the MAC. If you have the IPv6 of a device inside a network and you want to guess the IPv6 of another device of the network, you can get its MAC address using a ping (inside the arp table).
**Way2**
You can send a ping6 to the multicast and get the IPv6 address inside the arp table.
```bash
service ufw stop #Stop firewall
ping6 -I <IFACE> ff02::1 #You could also make: ping6 -I <IPV6> ff02::1 if you want to make a ping to a specific IP Address
ip -6 neigh
alive6
use auxiliary/scanner/discovery/ipv6_neighbor_router_advertisement; set INTERFACE eth1; run
```

# IPv6 MitM
Man in the middle with spoofed ICMPv6 neighbor advertisement.
* Man in the middle with spoofed ICMPv6 router advertisement.
* Man in the middle using ICMPv6 redirect or ICMPv6 too big to implant route.
* Man in the middle to attack mobile IPv6 but requires ipsec to be disabled.
* Man in the middle with rogue DHCPv6 server

# Discovering IPv6 addresses in the wild
2022-05-01 12:49:36 +00:00
## Sudomains
You can use google and other browsers to search for subdomains like "ipv6.\*"
```bash
site:ipv6./
```
2022-05-01 12:49:36 +00:00
## DNS
2022-01-31 14:51:03 +00:00
You could also try to search "**AXFR**"(zone transfer), "**AAAA**"(IPv6) or even "**ANY**" (all) registry in DNS to find IPv6 addresses.
2022-05-01 12:49:36 +00:00
## Ping6
Once some IPv6 devices of an organisation have been found, you could try to use `ping6` to check nearby addresses.
