Honeypots: FW: IPv6

["Hornat, Charles" <Charles_Hornat () standardandpoors com>]

Hey Mike, Its been a while, how have you been?

My question is base don this thought:  In order for the attacker to
compromise the system, they would have used IP 4 and would have been
caught by any existing IDS.  Additionally, once they go through the
trouble of getting IP6 to run on the compromised system, what would they
do with it?  Attack other IP6 systems?  Perhaps there is an exploit in
IP6 that you missed? 

Seems like it adds complication and more possibility
for problems and detection for the attacker to implement.
