It provides a great protection medium.
Being more involved in the eggdrop cumunity, and the fact they are adding IPv6 in, I decided to get involved. I got hooked.
Most noticably with IPv6, IRC is the biggest attraction to it at this time. As such, seeing as I don't have a IPv6 web-borwser operating in *nix yet, I used a IPv6 enabled BitchX (I don prefer mIRC, seeing as windows is my desktop OS).
Many IPv6 tunnel brokers provide DNS and RDNS on there tunnels as standard. This provides a hsotname of IRC, and in most cases confuses "Joe Public". Doing a dns on the hostname, results in a "Unable to resolve" (only those that have done the research know that the zone type is different to account for IPv6).
To confuse "Joe "Public" further, seeing a IPv6 address in the whois (when RDNS is not available), will throw them right off (though in most cases, gets them screaming "I won't one like that").
Seeing as the IPv6 comunity is very limited, and I doubt there are any trojans or DDOS bots supporting IPv6. This provides great protection, as most would find it very hard to attack a IPv6 address. Most tunnel borkers will kill a connection for such high volumes of traffic too.
