Retreat2010+IPv6

"Getting Started with IPv6"

Course Description:

In 2012, the IPv4 address pool will be exhausted. New devices will have to use the new IPv6 address system instead. Over the next several years, we will all have to implement IPv6 on all our routers, servers, applications, and end devices. This class introduces the essential steps of IPv6 deployment, with many hands-on projects.

Students should be familiar with IPv4 addresses and routing at the Network+ level.

The class will include:

Concepts: IPv4 Address Exhaustion IPv6 Address Concepts IPv6 Control Protocols IPv6 Packet Structure IPv6 Address Types IPv6-to-IPv4 Conversion, including tunnels

Hands-on Projects: Connecting with a free IPv6 Tunnel Setting up an IPv6 Web Server Registering a domain, assigning AAAA Records Setting up an IPv6 Email Server Setting up an IPv6 DNS Server Configuring Reverse DNS Records for IPv6 Implementing IPv6 DNS Glue Records for your top-level domain

Finally, we will cover security risks caused by IPv6 deployments, including: The Hacker's Choice--IPv6 Hacking Toolkit Scanning for targets with Neighbor Discovery The Ping-Pong denial of service attack on IPv6 Point-to-Point Links Apple Macintosh IPv6 Dual-Stack Problems Security device bypass attacks Torrents over IPv6 Rogue Router Advertisement and DHCPv6 Servers Routing Header Zero Attacks
