Denial of Service Attack in IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection Process
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
IPv6 was designed to replace the existing Internet Protocol, that is, IPv4. The main advantage of IPv6 over IPv4 is the vastness of address space. In addition, various improvements were brought to IPv6 to address the drawbacks in IPv4. Nevertheless, as with any new technology, IPv6 suffers from various security vulnerabilities. One of the vulnerabilities discovered allows Denial of Service Attack using the Duplicate Address Detection mechanism. In order to study and analyse this attack, an IPv6 security testbed was designed and implemented. This paper presents our experience with the deployment and operation of the testbed, and discussion on the outcome and data gathered from carrying out DoS attack in this testbed.
