Explore a Black Hat conference talk that delves into "IPvSeeYou," a novel data fusion attack against residential home routers running IPv6 for precise street-level geolocation. Learn about the development of this technique, which surpasses traditional IP geolocation methods by providing highly accurate location data. Discover how the researchers exploit leaked identifiers in IPv6 to geolocate millions of home routers worldwide. Examine the technical aspects of the attack, including IPv6 deployment, MAC addresses, and privacy extensions. Understand the ethical considerations, data sources, and methodology used in the research. Compare IPvSeeYou's performance against existing geolocation services and witness a live demonstration of the tool. Gain insights into the implications for location privacy and the steps taken for responsible disclosure. This 39-minute presentation by Erik Rye and Rob Beverly offers a comprehensive look at the potential vulnerabilities in IPv6 implementation and their impact on user privacy.
