The THC-IPv6 suite is a comprehensive collection of tools designed for auditing and exploiting IPv6 networks. It allows security professionals to assess the robustness of IPv6 implementations, identify vulnerabilities, and simulate attacks. The suite includes tools for neighbor discovery spoofing, router advertisement spoofing, address scanning, denial-of-service attacks, and other network probing activities. THC-IPv6 enables a thorough examination of IPv6 security postures.
It is developed and maintained by the Hacker's Choice. Be aware that using these tools against systems without explicit authorization is illegal and unethical. It focuses on all the weaknesses introduced with the IPv6 protocol. Use with caution and for legitimate security testing only.

The tools in THC-IPv6 can cause network disruption and potential security breaches. Use them responsibly and only on networks you have explicit permission to test. Misuse can lead to legal consequences.

THC-IPv6 is intended for legitimate security testing purposes. Always obtain proper authorization before using these tools on any network or system.

THC-IPv6 often requires libpcap and other networking libraries to be installed on the system. Ensure all necessary dependencies are met before using the tools.

THC-IPv6 was developed by the Hacker's Choice (THC) as a dedicated toolkit for IPv6 security auditing. It gained popularity as IPv6 adoption increased, becoming a valuable resource for security professionals looking to understand and mitigate IPv6-related risks. It has been continuously updated to address new vulnerabilities and attack vectors in IPv6 networks.
