Re: [NSE script] IPv6 RA flood

Hi David,

I modified the original script. It should be Lua 5.2 friendly and interface argument is now mandatory. Could you review 
it?

URL: https://bitbucket.org/xenol/nse-scripts/src/6d3ad48e6251/ipv6-ra-flood.nse

I tested it on the latest nmap and it works.  I will add timer later.
