IPv6 port scan?
![]()
I am wanting to make sure that the IPv6 firewalls on some of my computers is correctly configured. To do that I am wanting to do a port scan from another of my computers. What tools are available to do that. I am using MacOS X, though I also have access to Linux.

nmap has limited support for IPv6 which should solve most of your questions.
Do note though that firewalling is generally the wrong way of solving problems, you are better off not having applications accept the connections in the first place, that is, that they do not listen on interfaces connected to untrusted networks.

Agree, but sometimes that is not possible. For example port 135/445 on Windows is next to impossible to close (google might find some hacks, but that is all).

Very simple to close, just remove the binding from the interface.
That, or firewall it away on the host itself of course, but removing the binding is the best solution.
