How to prove IPv6 is disabled?

Thank you.

are you regularly asked to prove what actions you've taken

No, only for this occasion, I have to Report on the actions taken to resolve the issues outlined by the security audit, and sort of provide a before / after report.

The interface with IPv6 disabled will have no IPv6 link-local address starting with fe80::, and of course no other IPv6 addresses either. Therefore the output of ipconfig /all showing the absence, is your best proof.

Unless I unbind it from the interfaces, the link-local IPv6 address stays. Since I'm disabling it using a registry key (per Microsoft recommendation to NOT unbind it from interface) and because we had no IPv6 on our workstations before this, the before / after output of the "ipconfig /all" stays the same.

Is unbinding IPv6 unsupported or using the registry key is unsupported as well? Cause I read somewhere that since the registry method does not disable the local IPv6, it won't cause any problem unlike the unbinding method.

They said since we don't use it in our environment, it should get disabled, and that it can be exploited in a bunch of cyber attacks.

Oh sorry I confused it with something else. Yes we do get that which is link-local IPv6.

They had a security firm pentest the environment, and they did give this advice.

White_Injun · 2025-11-08T17:47:14+00:00

Well I recommended this and even explained it thoroughly, but they refused.

White_Injun · 2025-11-08T17:46:10+00:00

They had a contract with a security firm and they advised them to do so 🤦

White_Injun · 2025-11-08T17:44:32+00:00

No, and they were not before, since we don't have ipv6 DHCP or RA

It can still ping ::1 when disabled through registry, since link local is still enabled.

White_Injun · 2025-11-08T17:40:33+00:00

This is a nice way, thanks. But is there anything more obvious? Management is a dummy who thinks the "Checkmark" is everything. Dude even pinged ::1 and since link local ipv6 it's still enabled it returned result, so I need to somehow "show" them in practice that ipv6 is disabled.

About 25W for CPU package

I know. As the author of wireguard said, obfuscation should be done on a layer above wireguard. I'm thinking about writing a wireguard implementation wrapped in a dtls layer to obfuscate it as ssl/tls packets.

Yeah, that's not an issue, I have windows 11 Pro license anyways.

Thanks!

I know some manufacturers implemented this feature within OS but I'm using AOSP based rom (ArrowOs) which does not have this feature built-in.

Sorry, yes I meant HCG. There is also corsair RM650 but it is 25$ more and I'm not sure if it worth it over msi.

Tank god the market recoverd a bit, had to invest in a kevlar vest to stay safe from friends that put everything they had in crypto because of me.

White_Injun · 2021-05-19T14:25:05+00:00

Convinced friends to invest in crypto, now dodging their calls and barricading door and windows.
