Imaginary IPv6 Addresses

This repository contains the fake traceroute server used in my "Rickrolling the internet" project.

Usage

imaginary-addrs 0.1.0
Evan Pratten <[email protected]>
A utility for accepting traceroute on a whole /112 address block without 65 thousand hosts

USAGE:
    imaginary-addrs --interface <INTERFACE> --network <NETWORK>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help                     Print help information
    -i, --interface <INTERFACE>    Name of the tunnel to bring up
    -n, --network <NETWORK>        The network to operate with
    -V, --version                  Print version information

Make sure to run this tool with elevated privileges (aka: sudo).

Once running, a new interface will be up on your host, and running mtr against any of its addresses will immediately resolve them and all numbers below.
