Folks,

We are pleased to announce the release of ipv6mon v1.0!

** Description **

ipv6mon (<http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6mon>) is a tool for
monitoring IPv6 address usage on a local network. It is meant to be
particularly useful in networks that employ IPv6 Stateless Address
Auto-Configuration (as opposed to DHCPv6), where address assignment is
decentralized and there is no central server that records which IPv6
addresses have been assigned to which nodes during which period of time.

ipv6mon employs active probing to discover IPv6 addresses in use, and
determine whether such addresses remain active.

** Latest release **

The latest release of ipv6mon is v1.0, and is available at:
<http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6mon/ipv6mon-v1.0.tar.gz>

** Documentation **

PDF versions of the ipv6mon manuals are available on-line at:
<http:://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6mon>

** GIT repository **

The GIT repository for the ipv6mon is:
<https://github.com/fgont/ipv6-toolkit.git>

** IPv6 security trainings **

Development of ipv6mon is partially supported through our IPv6
security trainings. Please consider attending one of our upcoming
trainings <http://www.hackingipv6networks.com/upcoming-t>

You mean, like what NDPMon has been delivering for several years already:

Does NDPMon do active probing?

If it doesn't, it's not "like what NDPMon has been delivering for
several years already".

For instance, ipv6mon is not meant to be analogous to arpwatch, and is
*not* meant to detect ND attacks.

Thanks,
