Nmap: extension to IPv6 features.
Nmap IPv6
For my final thesis I was proposed to extend nmap with ipv6 features.This
seemed very interesting. I heared that there actually was a demand for
an IPv6 nmap... So here's what came out...
Writing these modifications, I concentrated on the main scan techniques.
It realy is to be taken like a start towards porting the whole nmap to
IPv6. The modifications work under Linux. Sorry for other OS's but my knowledge
isn't large enough yet. I just hope that it will be helpfull for future
development of nmap.
Here's a link to a listing of the modified files and functions: ipv6_changes.

For the different releases, here's a link to my sourceforge.net

: tfe_nmap_ipv6.pdf
Installation
patch -d <nmap-2.54BETA36 location> < <nmap-2.54BETA36_ipv6.diff
location>
Usage
For the moment, only one IPv6 host can be given by argument to nmap. You
will need to specify the -6 option for an ipv6 scan. Since the "massping"
feature" isn't available yet, you will also need to use the -P0 option
to prevent nmap from "pinging" the target. The target address can be given
in numeric or named form.
localhost example:
./nmap -6 -sF -f -P0 ::1
Available scans:
-sT : tcp connect scan
-sS : SYN scan
-sA : ACK scan (needs more testing)
-sW : Window scan (needs more testing)
-sF : FIN scan
-sX : Xmas tree scan
-sN : Null scan
-sU : UDP scan
-f : fragmented scan, available for SYN, FIN, Xmas & Null scans.
