IPv6 is turned on by default in most modern Operating Systems. However, many people are unaware of its capabilities. In this talk, I will explain how to create a publicly addressable IPv6 home network, even if your ISP has not enabled support for it yet. DNS registration, network reachability and home router IPv6 support will be also covered. Security implications of running an IPv6 capable home network and its mitigations will be discussed.
I am currently a Ph.D. student, majoring in Computer and Information Sciences at University of Delaware, where I previously completed Master of Science. I conduct research in High-Availability Core Router Architectures. The work is part of NEBULA Future Internet Architecture (FIA), a joint collaboration with multiple researchers and universities, funded by National Science Foundation and Cisco Systems. I completed Bachelor of Science at Rowan University, working with Dr. Vasil Hnatyshin on GPS-enhanced ad-hoc routing protocol. I am advised by Dr. Chase Cotton, a Professor and Director for Center for Information and Communication Sciences at University of Delaware.
