What is the road map like for improving IPv6 support in nmap (such as adding OS detection)? Since various telco sources decry the end of IPv4 by 2010 or 2011, I thought it might be a good idea to start working out how to get the same level of data from IPv6 as we do from IPv4 now. I just got around to enabling IPv6 on a few systems at work to see how our firewalls and other equipment handle it and it is pretty ugly. IPv6 is not enabled on any of our routers, but I was able to bring up IPv6 and talk to another system on the same network without bothering our host IDS / firewall. Our firewalls support it, but have no specific rules in place for it. I have no idea if our proxy server will handle IPv6 web sites properly for content filtering. Nmap is a handy tool to sling packets and find things that should not be open. The more it supports IPv6 before it's completely mainstream, the better.
These are all very good points. I investigated this[1] earlier in the year and noticed some barriers. I never got any reply to that mail (which was understandable), but hopefully your thread will spark some more discussion on this. If I have time, I may dive into some more research on this.
