VerifiedNetwork Penetration Testing Methodology – Internal

Sam is a penetration tester and network administrator at McLaren & McLaren in Washington. The company recently deployed IPv6 on its network. Sam discovered problems with the protocol implementation and attempted to redeploy IPv6 over IPv4. This time, he used the tunneling mechanism when deploying the IPv6 network.

Explanation

IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling encapsulates an IPv6 packet inside an IPv4 packet so that IPv6 traffic can traverse IPv4 network infrastructure. The tunnel endpoint decapsulates the packet before IPv6 forwarding continues.
