@dafr0g_@Evil_Mog Here is another recent study on weak CPE devices not properly filtering inbound IPv6. Where Have All the Firewalls Gone? Security Consequences of Residential IPv6 Transition, by Erik Rye, Dave Levin, Robert Beverly, 9/5/25

Do me a quick favor. Open up Wireshark and set this as the display filter.
ipv6.addr == fe80::/10 || ipv6.dst == ff02::/16
Ooops! I don't think you fully disabled IPv6. 😁

Given that the Internet is a hybrid of IPv4, IPv6, and dual-stack (both IPv4 and IPv6) networks, it is important to understand performance in each IP version https://t.co/wpOyHjakrv
Ready for our next speaker announcement? We're delighted that Vi is coming to Hack Glasgow to present 'Six Years of IPv6'!
After six years of PhD research into IPv6 scanning, Vi will be talking through some of the interesting findings and highlights, including [...]
[...] security issues around IPv6-enabled IoT devices and how to analyse and deal with IPv6 Indicators of Compromise.
For Vi's full abstract and bio: https://t.co/H1bSRAyJPZ

@SCOTTHOGG Thank you for sharing this 🙌🫡🙇♂️
This is precisely why I find the topic interesting. People often debate protocol characteristics, while the measurements end up revealing routing characteristics.
The protocol is usually the easy part. The path is where things get interesting.
@dbytesmith Thank you too. We have to be careful when interpreting data like this. It isn't that IPv6 is amazing, but its more like IPv4 NAT/CGNAT backhaul increases IPv4 RTT. And IPv6-only devices get NAT64'ed going to many destinations that still only use IPv4.
Identifying active IPv6 addresses helps assess deployment, reveal gaps, and detect vulnerable devices. Subnet-Router Anycast (SRA) probing removes the need for prior knowledge of address allocation.

Still treating BGP Router IDs like IPv4 addresses?
In #IPv6-only networks, they're simply 32-bit identifiers. @SwerNetworks@DaryllSwer shares structured, human-readable Router ID schemes that scale with modern networks.
