Script `targets-ipv6-eui64`

Script types: prerule
Categories: discovery
Download: https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/scripts/targets-ipv6-eui64.nse

Script Summary

This script runs in the pre-scanning phase to convert 48-bit MAC addresses to EUI-64 IPv6 addresses, which are often used for auto-configuration. Generated addresses may be added to the scan queue.

The MAC addresses used as input are read from the file named by the targets-ipv6-eui64.input script-arg. A good source of these addresses would be an IPv4 host discovery Nmap scan.

Script Arguments

targets-ipv6-eui64.input: The input file containing 1 MAC address per line
targets-ipv6-subnet: Table/single IPv6 address with prefix (Ex. 2001:db8:c0ca::/48 or { 2001:db8:c0ca::/48, 2001:db8:FEA::/48 }) Default: fe80::/64
max-newtargets, newtargets: See the documentation for the target library.

Example Usage

nmap -6 --script targets-ipv6-eui64 --script-args newtargets,targets-ipv6-eui64.input=macs.txt,targets-ipv6-subnet={2001:db8:c0ca::/64}

Script Output

Pre-scan script results:
| targets-ipv6-eui64:
|_  2001:db8:c0ca:0:1322:33ff:fe44:5566
