Analysis of IPv6 through Implementation of Transition Technologies and Security attacks

IPv6 provides more address space, improved address design, and greater security than IPv4. Different transition mechanisms can be used to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6 which includes dual stack networks, tunnels and translation technologies. Within all of this, network security is an essential element and therefore requires special attention. This paper analyses two transition technologies which are dual stack and tunnel. Both technologies are implemented using Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3. This work will also analyse the security issues of IPv6 to outline the most common vulnerabilities and security issues during the transition. Finally, the authors will design and implement the dual stack, automatic and manual tunnelling transition mechanisms using Riverbed Modeler simulation tool to analyse the performance and compare with the native IPv4 and IPv6 networks

Implementación de un prototipo como sistema detector de intrusos para detectar ataques dirigidos al protocolo IPV6 desarrollado con herramientas Open Source.

El trabajo de investigación incrementó la seguridad de la red local mediante la detección de ataques dirigidos al protocolo IPv6 que pueden comprometer la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad. Se compararon los indicadores considerados en las variables y se aplicó la estadística descriptiva e inferencial para la demostración de la hipótesis. Las herramientas software utilizadas fueron: Virtual Box que permitió la virtualización de las distribuciones Linux, Security Onion distribución especializada en sistemas detectores de intrusos, Snort como motor del sistema detector, Graylog como gestor de logs IPv6, la suite TCHIPv6 como generador de trafico IPv6 malicioso y Wireshark como herramienta de análisis de tramas del tráfico IPv6. Se desarrolló, implementó y comparó los resultados obtenidos al trabajar sobre la red local de la Facultad de Informática y Electrónica de la ESPOCH, entre los prototipos I (Security Onion utilizando las reglas personalizadas y acoplado el módulo de gestión de logs) y II (Security Onion utilizando las reglas oficiales de Snort) los cuales obtuvieron una valoración de 16 y 4 puntos de acuerdo a las escalas de Likert respectivamente. Se concluye que el sistema propuesto detecta y gestiona las alertas de intrusión mejorando tres veces el nivel de seguridad dentro de la red local. Se recomienda a los estudiantes o profesionales interesados en el tema dar continuidad al análisis de patrones anormales de tráfico IPv6 con el objetivo de incrementar el número de alertas IPv6 de detección.The research work has increased security on the local network by detecting attacks targeting the IPv6 protocol that can compromise confidentiality, integrity and availability. We compared the indicators considered in the variables and applied the descriptive and inferential statistics for the demonstration of the hypothesis. The software tools used were: Virtual box that allowed the virtualization of Linux distributions, security Onion, specialized distribution in intrusion detection systems, Snort as detector system engine, Graylog as IPv6 log manager, TCHIPv6 suite as IPv6 traffic generator Malicious and Wireshark as an analysis tool for IPv6 traffic frames. lt was developed implemented, and compared the results obtained by working on the local network at the Faculty of lnformatics and Electronics from the ESPOCH, among the prototypes I (Security Onion using the custom rules and coupled the logs management module) and II (Security Onion using the official rules of Snort) which obtained a valuation of 16 and 4 points according to the Likert scales respectively. lt is concluded that the proposed system detects and manages the intrusion alerts improving three times the level of security within the local network. lt is recommended that students or professionals interested in the subject continue the analysis of abnormal patterns of IPv6 traffic in order to increase the number of IPv6 alerts to detect
