# parasite6(8)

## NAME

**parasite6**

## SYNOPSIS

parasite6 \[-lRFHD\] interface \[fake-mac\]

This is an "ARP spoofer" for IPv6, redirecting all local traffic to your own system (or nirvana if fake-mac does not exist) by answering falsely to Neighbor Solitication requests Option -l loops and resends the packets per target every 5 seconds. Option -R will also try to inject the destination of the solicitation NS security bypass: -F fragment, -H hop-by-hop and -D large destination header
