Nope me neither, but according to the Internet Society it is and everyone, it says, should be thinking about making the permanent move from their current IPv4 network to the new whizz-bang IPv6 one. So will you be one of them? More to the point, are there any pressing security reasons why you shouldn't? Arbor Networks has published the results of some research into the first wave of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on IPv6 networks, and the good news is that the figure is pretty damn low with just four per cent of those operating such networks reporting DDoS activity. Time and research has shown that IPv6 is not more secure than IPv4. In fact, the chances are high that these are not actually the first DDoS attacks against IPv6 networks at all, but rather the first ones that have been detected and reported. Which is also good news. It means that, at long last, we are starting to see discussions on this kind of threat in relation to IPv6. But in less good news, the reports of DDoS attacks targeting IPv6 networks do suggest that as adoption amongst organisations picks up pace, so does the value to the bad guys. Indeed, the fact that these attacks are happening at all suggests that the bad guys are also adopting IPv6 as they need a platform from which to launch them, and that platform has to be an IPv6 endpoint. That they have managed to compromise enough of these
