The SI6 IPv6 Toolkit is one of the main IPv6 toolkits, with tools ranging from packet-crafting tools for all major IPv6 protocols, to an Extension Headers-enabled traceroute, or scan6 – the most complete publicly-available IPv6 address scanner. In this presentation, Fernando will release SI6 IPv6 Toolkit v3.0 – the next major release of the toolkit in over two years (!) – presenting both new tools and additional functionality in existing tools.
