You would go to the whois: whois -h whois.lacnic.net 2800:af::/32 You will find that it is assigned to ISP "Whatever". If you are the cops you will find who I am asking them. BCP 38 would work. The problem is that many ISPs do not ingress filter, so I can use whatever unnallocated IPv6 space (2F10:baba:ba30:e8cf:d06f:4881:973a:c68) to SPAM and then go invisible and use another one (2E10:baba:ba30:e8cf:d06f:4881:973a:c68) Regards, as On 17 Jun 2012, at 13:24, Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu wrote:

Wouldn't BCP38 help?

Obviously BCP38 doesn't help, as it's an established TCP connection so it can't be spoofed traffic (gotta ACK Google's ISN from the SYN-ACK) - unless Google is silly enough to *still* not be doing RFC1948 properly. I mean, Steve Bellovin wrote that literally last century. ;)
So - who owns 2800:af:ba30:e8cf:4881:973a:c68? And how does an LEO find that info quickly if they need to figure out who to hand a warrant to?
*THAT* is the problem that needs solving.
(And who *does* own that IP? I admit not knowing. ;)
