If I try to scan an IPv6 address I get the following error message:

panic: dial tcp: address xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2: too many colons in address

The following command lines were tried:

  • terrapin-scanner -connect 'xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2'
  • terrapin-scanner -connect xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2

My workaround for the moment:
I use jtesta/ssh-audit for these cases. Joe Testa luckily implemented the scan for terrapin into his software.

Thanks for the report. This is to be expected given that the socket is always tcp, not tcp6. I try to add support for IPv6 today.

v1.1.0 is now available, adding support for IPv6. Note that literal IPv6 addresses must be enclosed by square brackets. This was also one of the problems that you encountered. Happy to hear if the latest release works for you.

Hey @TrueSkrillor,

Thank you for your fast fix and sorry for the late response.
I can confirm that it works as expected using the following command line:
terrapin-scanner -connect [xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2]:22 (Port is optional)
