Evasion of High-End IPS Devices in the Age of IPv6

Explore cutting-edge techniques for evading high-end Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) devices in the IPv6 era. Delve into a 25-minute Black Hat conference talk that unveils three novel methods exploiting minor details in the IPv6 protocol design, rendering even advanced commercial IDPS devices ineffective. Learn how attackers can conduct various attacks, from port scanning to SQL injection, while remaining undetected. Examine the potential security implications for other devices like firewalls, and discover both short-term and long-term mitigation strategies to protect your network. Gain valuable insights into IPv6 security awareness, extension headers, fragmentation, and fundamental protocol issues through a comprehensive outline covering topics such as Chiron, Sivirata Circuit, Watercut, and the Tipping Point.
