Presentation: Recent advances in IPv6 insecurities reloaded

In 2005, Marc Heuse presented the findigs of his initial research on IPv6 insecurities. New protocol features have been proposed and implemented since then and ISPs are now slowly starting to deploy IPv6. Few changes have led to a better security of the protocol, several increase the risk instead. This talk starts with a brief summary of the issues presented in 2005, then expands on the risks found by him in 2010 and then shows new risks found in 2011, some of them presented for the first time.
