# redirsniff6(8)

## NAME

**redirsniff6**

## SYNOPSIS

redirsniff6 interface victim-ip destination-ip original-router \[new-router \[new-router-mac\]\]

Implant a route into victim-ip, which redirects all traffic to destination-ip to new-router. This is done on all traffic that flows by that matches victim-\>target. You must know the router which would handle the route. If the new-router/-mac does not exist, this results in a DOS. You can supply a wildcard ('\*') for victim-ip and/or destination-ip.
