(InfoWorld) - For many IT managers, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next version of the Internet Protocol, may seem like a far-off concern. But the technology will make its way into corporate IT systems sooner than many people realize, forcing IT departments to confront potential security vulnerabilities inherent in the new protocol, a security consultant warned. Companies need toÂ prepare themselves for IPv6, even if they don't have plans to upgrade their networks, said Van Hauser, a security consultant and the founder of hacking group The Hacker's Choice. Hauser discussed security vulnerabilities in IPv6 this week during a presentation at the Hack In The Box Security Conference (HITB) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "Most people think there's no IPv6 now, so where's the problem?" Hauser said. "The thing is if you install any Unix operating system now it comes with IPv6 enabled." In addition,Â Microsoft's Vista operating system, set for release in the coming months, is expected to have support for IPv6 enabled, he said. With support for IPv6 enabled in these operating systems, IT managers need to prepared to address security issues in the new protocol. "It has the same vulnerabilites as IPv4 (IP version 4). When you thought with IPv6 everything will change in regards to security this is not really the case," Hauser said. Among the vulnerabilities that IPv6 and IPv4 share is the ability of a hacker to launch a man-in-the-middle attack, Hauser said. In this type of attack, a hacker is able to monitor or insert packets being sent back and forth between two parties, without either one realizing that the network link between them has been compromised by a third party. To secure against vulnerabilities in IPv6, companies must use IPSec (IP Security) on their networks, Hauser said. "If you use IPSec, most of the problems go away," he said. However, even then networks will not be completely secure. "It's not that easy. If you do encryption and authentication, it doesn't mean that security is okay," Hauser said. "It just narrows down the number of people who can do something."

InfoWorld - Fewer new Internet users got online in China during 2004 than during the previous two years, even as the number of people accessing broadband connections continued to soar, according to survey results released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). At present there are 94 million Internet users in China, according to the report. That represents an increase of 18.2 percent, or 14.5 million new Internet users, since January 2004. That number represents the lowest number of new Chinese Internet users reported by CNNIC since January 2002. It reported annual increases of 20.4 million new Internet users in January 2004 and 22.6 million new users in January 2003, compared to an annual increase of 11.2 million new Internet users reported in January 2002. All four categories showed increases during 2004, but the rate of growth for broadband users far exceeded all of the other categories. The number of broadband users increased 146 percent from 17.4 million users in January 2004 to 42.8 million users. The category with the second-fastest growth rate was ISDN users, which increased 16.3 percent from 5.5 million users to 6.4 million users.
