"IPv6 Security" Protection measures for the next Internet Protocol
As the world's networks migrate to the IPv6 protocol, networking
professionals need a clearer understanding of the security risks,
threats, and challenges this transition presents. In IPv6 Security,
two of the world's leading Internet security practitioners review
each potential security issue introduced by IPv6 networking and
present today's best solutions. "IPv6 Security" offers guidance for
avoiding security problems prior to widespread IPv6 deployment. The
book covers every component of today's networks, identifying
specific security deficiencies that occur within IPv6 environments
and demonstrating how to combat them. The authors describe best
practices for identifying and resolving weaknesses as you maintain
a dual stack network. Then they describe the security mechanisms
you need to implement as you migrate to an IPv6-only network. The
authors survey the techniques hackers might use to try to breach
your network, such as IPv6 network reconnaissance, address
spoofing, traffic interception, denial of service, and tunnel
injection. The authors also turn to Cisco(R) products and
protection mechanisms. You learn how to use Cisco IOS(R) and ASA
firewalls and ACLs to selectively filter IPv6 traffic. You also
learn about securing hosts with Cisco Security Agent 6.0 and about
securing a network with IOS routers and switches. Multiple examples
are explained for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris hosts. The
authors offer detailed examples that are consistent with today's
best practices and easy to adapt to virtually any IPv6 environment.
Scott Hogg, CCIE(R) No. 5133, is Director of Advanced Technology
Services at GlobalTechnology Resources, Inc. (GTRI). He is
responsible for setting the company's technical direction and
helping it create service offerings for emerging technologies such
as IPv6. He is the Chair of the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force.
Eric Vyncke, Cisco Distinguished System Engineer, consults on
security issues throughout Europe. He has 20 years' experience in
security and teaches security seminars as a guest professor at
universities throughout Belgium. He also participates in the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and has helped several
organizations deploy IPv6 securely.
