Scan an IPv6 Target
The -6 parameter is used to perform a scan of an IP version 6 target.
Usage syntax: nmap -6 [target]
The example above displays the results of scanning an IP version 6 target. Most
Nmap options support IPv6 with the exception of multiple target scanning using
ranges and CIDR as they are pointless on IPv6 networks.
note
Both the host and the target systems must support the IPv6 protocol in 44 order for a -6 scan to work.
