(IETF I-D): Implications of IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.txt)
by Fernando Gont 05 Feb '23

Hi, All, Recently, I happened to participate in an IPv6 deployment meeting with some large content provider, and said meeting included a discussion about how to mitigate some attacks using block-lists. These folks argued that they ban offending IPv6 addresses as /128s, following IPv4 practices. So it seemed to me that some of the implications arising from the increased IPv6 address space were non-obvious to them. -- that has been the motivation for the publication of this document. * TXT: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.txt * HTML: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.html Comments welcome! P.S.: The document is targeted at the IETF opsec wg (https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsec), but I'll be happy to discuss it on this mailing-list, off-list, or at the opsec wg mailing-list... Thanks!

Name: draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing Revision: 00 Title: Implications of IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations Document date: 2023-02-02 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 8 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing/ Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-gont-opsec-ipv6-addressing Abstract: The increased address availability provided by IPv6 has concrete implications on security operations. This document discusses such implications, and sheds some light on how existing security operations techniques and procedures might need to be modified accommodate the increased IPv6 address availability.
