Tinkering with IPV6
For hackers out there looking for something cool to play with, my advice will be to give IPV6 a try. At the moment, I’ve got one tunnel up (Courtesy go6) and I intend to get a subnet with which I can allocate IPV6 ip addresses to clients on my LAN including my Nokia E61i.
Why’s this cool?
It means I can finally get every device that has some kind of network connectivity on the Internet and live. Live in the sense that I can reach any device from any device - no NAT requirements. This has a lot of uses - services that also required the remote host having a way to connect back to the local host are now possible, unhindered. Also, IPV6 is still nascent (believe it or not) and it constitutes a good playing ground for anyone who wants to get involved.
By certain projections, we do not have much time left before all the IPV4 ip addresses are exausted so getting in on IPV6 early does have certain advantages.
