Whoever thought we would run out of IP addresses.

Technology News: Internet: IPv6 for a Day: Sampling the New Web World

Interested to see what happens to the Web on June 11th.

"2011 is a pivotal year in IPv6 deployment," said the Internet Society's chief Internet technology officer Leslie Daigle. "By providing an opportunity for the Internet industry to collaborate to test IPv6 readiness, we expect to lay the groundwork for large-scale IPv6 adoption."

According to the article: It will also allow Web companies to test their internal hardware and software IPv6 implementations.

Is the entire networking world going to have to start from square one?

Right you are. But as they adapt, so will we. Consider that IPv6 has a total address space of 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Consider also that even the most basic servers get about 2 IP addresses attached to them. When IPv6 comes to town, each server is going to get 50,000 IPs attached to them. So banning an IP address will be futile, as you'll have 49,999 left to use.

it can't be that easy. they'll probably just block the whole subnet or something
 
they should be able to block the 64-bit interface identifier or something. It's been a while since I did ipv6 in uni so I can't really remember. It just depends on how the addresses are deployed and I do not remember the specifics.

Don't think this will make it harder to block servers and whatever, but for a while it will be easy to 'game the system' as it was back in the day.

Your website (mattf.ca) is down. I just wanted to make sure that you were aware.

I found a talk by Joe Klein of Command Information dealing with the ease of hacking into IPv6.

Here's the video: Hacking IPv6 by Joe Klein Tutorial

Here's the slides from the presentation: http://sites.google.com/site/ipv6se...oeKlein-June42009-version1.pdf?attredirects=0

For those that may find this interesting. I wonder what will happen in our current day with the loopholes that we had years and years ago.
