Non point-point IPv6 scanner #8

Closed demingry closed 2 years ago

demingry commented 2 years ago

I started a xmap instance on Azure virtual machine, Azure only provide IPv6 balance, not point to point (/128) public address, middle-ware convert. It can ping IPv6 address correctly and can be accessed via IPv6 address, but xmap does not work. I tried to capture network packets when scanning. Sniffer packet sent but no response(like www.sdu.edu.cn and www.sdwu.edu.cn, the two alive hosts I do promise I can correctly ping, but xmap cannot detect up). Alternatively, another provider, Ubuntu20 installed, with p2p IPv6 and I got public IPv6 add via ifconfig->eth0, but ./xmap output:

Jan 08 08:17:48.907 [ERROR] get_gateway-linux: interface specified (eth0) does not match the interface of the default gateway (). You will need to manually specify the MAC address of your gateway. Jan 08 08:17:48.907 [FATAL] xmap: could not detect default gateway address for eth0. Try setting default gateway mac address (-G).

arp -a no record, curious.

tcpdump showed obviously, ping host request with response packet, however, xmap sent request but no response packet.

Hi, XMap identifies the gateway MAC address by arp detection (IPv4). So if arp -a does not work, XMap can neither find the gateway MAC address.

To solve this issue, just set the gateway MAC address with -G.

IPv6 only, no IPv4 supported.
