HI all, David and I have been working on the branch 'nmap-exp/weilin/nmap-nd' since last week and we have implemented IPv6 ND ping over ethernet. Attached is nd-ping.patch. You can test it by explicitly typing './nmap -6 -sP -PR. --packet-trace $target_ipv6_addr'. Actually the ND ping feature will be activated by default if the target is in the link-local. (Just like ARP ping on IPv4.) Unfortunately, it don't support IPv6 raw socket right now because the send_ipv6_ipproto_raw() couldn't send multicast packets. So please note that '-PR --send-ip' won't make sense. (OS itself will try to resolve the target's MAC address before it sends a unicast IPv6 packet through raw socket.) Any feedbacks are welcomed and appreciated. -- Regards Xu Weilin 许伟林
