IPv6 capable Security Scanner

Subject: IPv6 capable Security Scanner
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 10:25:25 -0500
Hi list,

I'm looking for a scanning tool that is capable of scanning IPv6 addresses for vulnerabilities. I briefly googled "IPv6 Security Scanner" and also checked out nessus.org to see if they had any documentation as to whether they supported vulnerability scanning for IPv6 devices, but didn't find anything other than a few IPv6 port scanners. I don't want tools that are just port scanners. I know nmap now supports IPv6, but I'm looking for something a little deeper than port scanning.

I probably need a tool that can be triggered from command line also.

Preferably the tool would run on Linux or Solaris... I could probably make windows work if I had to, but I'd rather not.

I'm implementing NFR at a client where we'll use the product to passively detect new IPv6 rogues as soon as they come on the network and then automatically trigger an active vulnerability scan. I will probably use nmap with it's "advanced version detection system", for proof-of-concept, but I'd like to know if there are other options available.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

dave
