Scapy fails to send ipv6 packets

Hello everyone i am new here so please be kind.

I have been using scapy lately in order to send and recieve ipv6 packets to selected ipv6 enabled servers. The gist of the code is here:

text = line[:-1]
            #destination=getIPv6Addr(line[:-1])
            destination="2607:f1c0:1000:60e0:7992:97f7:61b2:2814"
            source="2001:630:d0:f105:5cfe:e988:421a:a7b7"
            syn = IPv6(dst=destination,src=source) / TCP(sport=555,dport=80,flags="S")#flag S is syn packet
            syn.show()
            syn_ack = sr1(syn,timeout=11)

When i execute the code hoever this is what i get: 

Begin emission:
Finished to send 1 packets.
.................WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination :: (no default route?)
WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination 2607:f1c0:1000:60e0:7992:97f7:61b2:2814 (no default route?)
............................................................................................................
Received 1322 packets, got 0 answers, remaining 1 packets

From what i understand, the packet has been sent nevertheless a response is never gotten(0 answers). This made me think of using wireshark to sniff the packet.

Upon using it with filter:

ip6 net 2607:f1c0:1000:60e0:7992:97f7:61b2:2814

I realised the packet was never sent at the first place! Does anyone know why this is happening or what is hapening here?

Regards Martinos

EDIT:

On closer inspection from comments, i realized that the route list SHOULD not be empty. There are no routes to send the packet. I am not sure how to add them! Please help here is what i did:

i tried to get all the interfaces from my device. Here is what i got back:

As you can see, nowhere in there there is an ipv6 address. How am i supposed to send ipv6 packets if no ipv6 address is listed? in extend, here is the ipconfig from cmd:

    Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:

This is run on a VM but i dont think it matters.

PLEASE someone help me this is very important! how can i configure scapy in order to understand how to send ipv6 packets. and why do i see no ipv6 addresses in the list above of interfaces?

Solution

  • The ethernet adapter indeed has both an IPv6 address and a default gateway. You could

    • Try to ping -6 ipv6.google.com to see if there is any IPv6 connectivity. I think there must be, since I can ping your IPv6 address just fine, unless it has been reassigned to somebody else now.

    • Inspect the routing tables to see there are no superfluous routes In particular, the Teredo interface might be causing trouble. Turn it off. (netsh interface teredo set state disabled)

    Teredo: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4380 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling

    I do not know how to configure IPv6 routing and interfaces using scapy.

    I made this an answer, since there is not enough room in the comments. I do still suggest you ask on superuser. I can not sufficiently help you, since I am not familiar with either "JANET" or Windows networking configuration.
