I am into the ipv6 testing these days.I am stuck in between. I want to know how can I generate the ipv6 extension headers(like hopbyhop,encapsulation,etc.,)
There is a Python extension library called SCAPY that can be used to generate IPv6 packets, both correctly formed and incorrectly formed. Because it is built on Python it is a fully programmable test data generator. Read this presentation to see what it can do: <http://www.secdev.org/conf/scapy-IPv6_HITB06.pdf> and Google for SCAPY6 to find more info. --Michael Dillon
