“…Six choices were given: development, research, consulting, operations, IT management and other. Due to the industry most participants work in, it was not surprising to find that most participants came from consulting (7), operations (8) and IT management (9). Four participants each work in development and research departments, while two did not fit into any of the given choices.…”

The next generation of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) is currently about to be introduced in many organizations. However, its security features are still a very novel area of expertise for many practitioners. This study evaluates guidelines for secure deployment of IPv6, published by the U.S. NIST and the German federal agency BSI, for topicality, completeness and depth. The later two are scores defined in this paper and are based on the Requests for Comments relevant for IPv6 that were categorized, weighted and ranked for importance using an expert survey. Both guides turn out to be of practical value, but have a specific focus and are directed towards different audiences. Moreover, recommendations for possible improvements are presented. Our results could also support strategic management decisions on security priorities as well as for the choice of security guidelines for IPv6 roll-outs.

“…For instance, attacks such as sniffing, application layer attacks [ 50 ], rogue devices, man-in-the-middle attacks, and flooding are still applicable. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are vulnerable when facing application layer attacks [ 51 ], as shown in Figure 2 [ 52 ].…”

Given the proliferation of internet connected devices, IPv6 has been proposed to replace IPv4. Aside from providing a larger address space which can be assigned to internet enabled devices, it has been suggested that the IPv6 protocol offers increased security due to the fact that with the large number of addresses available, standard IP scanning attacks will no longer become feasible. However, given the interest in attacking organizations rather than individual devices, most initial points of entry onto an organization's network and their attendant devices are visible and reachable through web crawling techniques, and, therefore, attacks on the visible application layer may offer ways to compromise the overall network. In this evaluation, we provide a straightforward implementation of a web crawler in conjunction with a benign black box penetration testing system and analyze the ease at which SQL injection attacks can be carried out.

“…The IPv6 protocol eliminates the need of native IPv6 to IPv6 NAT due to vast amount of IP addresses that can uniquely identify the nodes on the Internet and allow true end to end communication [29]. Nevertheless, the slow migration from IPv4 to IPv6 and the necessity to deploy NAT-PT gateway as a temporary solution to address the incompatibility between both address realms, require the UDP encapsulation to be adapted once again to solve the limitation.…”
