Would a SLAAC attack work on an existing IPv6 network? Why not?
No, the attack would only work on existing IPv4 networks. If the attack were tried on an existing IPv6 network, the network administrator would immediately see conflicts. The network administrator could also assign a specific (legitimate) internal DHCP server (IPv6) to each host.
