ScapyCon 25 - From RFCs to CVEs (Scapy Keynote) - Guillaume Valadon

This keynote from Guillaume Valadon (GitGuardian) offers a retrospective on twenty years of IPv6 evolution, implementation, and security insights. It traces the journey from early RFCs and the 6BONE testbed to the first IPv6 integration in Scapy back in 2005, highlighting how experimentation with packet crafting exposed weaknesses, informed standards, and shaped later CVEs. Combining technical demonstrations — from routing header exploits to NDP-based attacks — with reflections on lessons learned, the talk showcases how small research hacks evolved into mature tools and community-driven improvements. It celebrates two decades of continuous learning, collaboration, and the lasting impact of Scapy on network analysis and protocol testing.
