Ipv6 Security: Myths & Legends
IPv6 security: myths & legends Paul Ebersman – [email protected] 21 Apr 2015 NANOG on the Road – Boston So many new security issues with IPv6! Or are there… IPv6 Security issues • Same problem, different name • A few myths & misconceptions • Actual new issues • FUD (Fear Uncertainty & Doubt) Round up the usual suspects! Remember these? • ARP cache poisoning • P2p ping pong attacks • Rogue DHCP ARP cache poisoning • Bad guy broadcasts fake ARP • Hosts on subnet put bad entry in ARP Cache • Result: MiM or DOS Ping pong attack • P2P link with subnet > /31 • Bad buy sends packet for addr in subnet but not one of two routers • Result: Link clogs with routers sending packet back and forth Rogue DHCP • Client broadcasts DHCP request • Bad guy sends DHCP offer w/his “bad” router as default GW • Client now sends all traffic to bad GW • Result: MiM or DOS Look similar? • Neighbor cache corruption • P2p ping pong attacks • Rogue DHCP + rogue RA Solutions? • Lock down local wire • /127s for p2p links (RFC 6164) • RA Guard (RFC 6105) And now for something completely different! So what is new? • Extension header chains • Packet/Header fragmentation • Predictable fragment headers • Atomic fragments The IPv4 Packet 14 The IPv6 Packet 15 Fragmentation • Minimum 1280 bytes • Only source host can fragment • Destination must get all fragments • What happens if someone plays with fragments? IPv6 Extension Header Chains • No limit on length • Deep packet inspection bogs down • Confuses stateless firewalls • Fragments a problem • draft-ietf-6man-oversized-header-chain-09 -

Dual Stack networks use apps that prefer to use a IPv6 connection over an IPv4 connection when both are available (*) This implies that the higher the IPv6 deployment numbers the less the level of use of V4 connection, and the lower the pressure on the NAT binding clients * Couple of problems with this: This preference is often relative, and in the quest for ever faster connections the ante keeps rising – Apple is now pressing for a 50ms differential. -

New Features in IPv6 Harsha Srinath IPv4, the workhorse protocol of the currently popular TePI IP protocol suite, is fast becoming obsolete. The exponen tial growth of the Internet is the main reason that has required the creation of the next generation of Internet Protocol-IPv6. IPv6 is ~uch more flexible and promises to take care of the address space and security issues in the Harsha Srinath is currently pursuing his MS foreseeable future. degree in Computer Science at the Center for In this part we explain the new features introduced in the Advanced Computer emerging Internet Protocol standard and why they have Studies (CACS) in been introduced. University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA. His Birth of IPv6 research interests include networking with an As mentioned in Part 11 of the paper, the growth of the global emphasis on wireless Internet was exponential since its inception in the 1980's. The networks, distributed databases and data designers of this Internet Protocol (lPv4) never envisioned the mining. scale of the Internet, nor could they imagine its potential for growth. Unfortunately, this unprecedented growth apart from benefiting millions of users was not without ill consequences. It posed a potential threat that a day might come when virtually all Part 1, IPv4 and its shortcom IP address are exhausted. Further, with increasing monetary ings, Resonance, Vol.8, NO.3, pp.33-41,2003. transactions being done using the Internet, there was a need for more security features in the Internet Protocol. A development of a potential solution for this problem began during the late 1990s;The creation of a new version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, the next-generation Internet Protocol (IPng), was approved by the Internet Engineering Steering Keywords Group on November 17, 1994 as a proposed standard. -

ICMP for Ipv6
ICMP for IPv6 ICMP in IPv6 functions the same as ICMP in IPv4. ICMP for IPv6 generates error messages, such as ICMP destination unreachable messages, and informational messages, such as ICMP echo request and reply messages. • Information About ICMP for IPv6, on page 1 • Additional References for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Multicast Suppress, on page 3 Information About ICMP for IPv6 ICMP for IPv6 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) in IPv6 functions the same as ICMP in IPv4. ICMP generates error messages, such as ICMP destination unreachable messages, and informational messages, such as ICMP echo request and reply messages. Additionally, ICMP packets in IPv6 are used in the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, path MTU discovery, and the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol for IPv6. MLD is used by IPv6 devices to discover multicast listeners (nodes that want to receive multicast packets destined for specific multicast addresses) on directly attached links. MLD is based on version 2 of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for IPv4. A value of 58 in the Next Header field of the basic IPv6 packet header identifies an IPv6 ICMP packet. ICMP packets in IPv6 are like a transport-layer packet in the sense that the ICMP packet follows all the extension headers and is the last piece of information in the IPv6 packet. Within IPv6 ICMP packets, the ICMPv6 Type and ICMPv6 Code fields identify IPv6 ICMP packet specifics, such as the ICMP message type. The value in the Checksum field is derived (computed by the sender and checked by the receiver) from the fields in the IPv6 ICMP packet and the IPv6 pseudoheader.
