Scanning IPv6 addresses

One of the most important updates of Nmap is its IPv6 support. All port scanning and host discovery techniques can take IPv6 addresses, including OS detection, and there are even some new interesting discovery techniques that address the problem of brute-force scanning of the IPv6 address space.

This recipe describes how to scan an IPv6 address with Nmap.

How to do it...

Open your terminal and type your desired Nmap command with the additional -6 option:

# nmap -6 <target>
# nmap -6 scanme.nmap.org
Nmap scan report for scanme.nmap.org (2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe18:bb2f) Host is up (0.065s latency).
Other addresses for scanme.nmap.org (not scanned): 45.33.32.156
Not shown: 997 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp     open  ssh 80/tcp open http 31337/tcp open  Elite
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.20 seconds
