This course will provide the attendee with in-depth knowledge of IPv6 security, such that the attendee is
able to evaluate and mitigate the security implications of IPv6 in production environments. The attendee
will be given an in-depth explanation of each topic covered in this course, and will learn – through hands-on
exercises – how each feature can be exploited for malicious purposes. Subsequently, the attendee will be
presented with a number of alternatives to mitigate each of the identified vulnerabilities. This course will
employ a range of open source tools to evaluate the security of IPv6 networks, and to reproduce a number
of IPv6-based attacks. During the course, the attendee will perform a large number of exercises in a network
laboratory (with the assistance of the trainer), such that the concepts and techniques learned during this
course are reinforced with hands-on exercises. The attendee will be required to perform a large number of
IPv6 attacks, and to envision mitigation techniques for the corresponding vulnerabilities
