true, but getting even a single public ipv4 address is hard. anyone and everyone handing out public ipv6 addresses is by design.

- cyberax 3y agoI have 32 IPv4 addresses, how do I utilize them to hack Amazon? It doesn't matter that you can get IPv6 addresses, you still need to be able to get onto the L2 network of your victim company to be able to mount RA attacks. You also will somehow need to force them to announce your IPv6 space to their peers.
- DarkmSparks 3y agowith IPv4 you cant really, because getting traffic routed to those ips is a major undertaking. with IPv6, every IPv6 capable device is potentially capable of handing out something like the entire IPv4 space of public ip addresses regardless of how a single firewall or router is configured. "trying to configure connectivity and access resources using only IPv6 addresses is borderline insane"
- cyberax 3y agoYou clearly don't understand how routing (and the Internet) works. My IPs are useless because I can't force the victim to route to them. I similarly won't be able to force the victim to route their traffic to IPv6 addresses that I control.
- DarkmSparks 3y agowhat difference do you think it makes who controls the public ipv6 address. with ipv6, they got one, all devices on the network are now by default accessible from the public internet instead of invisible to it . Thats the whole point of ipv6.
