What is MITM6?

MITM6 is a tool designed for performing man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks against IPv6 networks. It is primarily used to intercept and manipulate IPv6 traffic, allowing security professionals to analyze network traffic, detect vulnerabilities, and assess network security.

MITM6 works by exploiting weaknesses in IPv6 network configurations, such as the lack of encryption or weak authentication mechanisms, to intercept and modify network communications. This can be particularly useful for security assessments, penetration testing, and network troubleshooting.

Commands

MITM6 provides a variety of commands and options for conducting MITM attacks on IPv6 networks. Some common commands include:

mitm6 -i INTERFACE -d DOMAIN

• -i INTERFACE: Specifies the network interface to use for intercepting IPv6 traffic.
• -d DOMAIN: Specifies the target domain to intercept traffic for.
