IPv6 Overview (2026) — Cover6 Community

Cover6 Community online session hosted by Tyrone E. Wilson.
IPv6 is already on your network — most organizations just aren’t watching it. In this session, we’ll break down IPv6 fundamentals through a security lens: what the addresses mean, how they behave differently from IPv4, and why leaving IPv6 unmonitored is one of the most common blind spots in enterprise environments.
🎯 What We’ll Cover
• Why IPv6 matters right now (even if your org “doesn’t use it”)
• How IPv6 addresses are structured: link-local, global unicast, and more
• NDP vs ARP — and why NDP introduces new attack surface
• The security gap: organizations harden IPv4, but leave IPv6 wide open
• Live demo: reading your own IPv6 configuration on Linux
