Hey" <hey@...r.nl> Cc: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: Exploitation of unused IPv6-capabilities Hi, The papers pointed to by the others are basically straight forward and not really new issues if you know how ARP poisoning works. The thing that makes me wonder and adds some new points is 'As soon as the "victim" has an IPv6 address issued by your radvd it will prefer AAAA-entries over A-entries' What do you mean by that? I looked at the glibc resolver, it might be that if getaddrinfo() does not get proper ai_family arguments of AF_INET, it will accept AAAA records. So, the application which thinks is using IPv4 DNS resolving will eventually connect using IPv6? This however will require built-in functionallity in the application (for example ssh client has it) and you need to play DNS tricks. Or I am completely mistaken and dont understand what you mean with the A-records?! Sebastian On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 10:17:44PM +0100, Lukas Th.
