Specify victim ip
On a LAN it's best to be able to target the attack on a specific IP. If you want to attack all victims, use "any"
1st you can use the tool legitimately. I am doing it, because it is way faster to setup and run than any dhcp6 server. 2nd you usually want to attack everyone.
of course there are cases where you just want to attack or test one client, so I understand your need for the patch.
however I decline the pull request for the following reason: this tool needs a rewrite from the option parsing. how I implemented it sucks. so much. I needs proper getopt.
accepting your patch would mean that how people might have included it in their auto-test setups (like me) would break it if they are not aware and update it.
so because of the breaking and because how I did the option parsing sucks I don't accept it. But the feature you supply is absoleutely useful.
I totally agree with everything. Indeed it needs a proper getopt. If I get around to it I'll send you a pull request that implements it. I know pentesters have a need to prove this ability, and some have asked me to implement this change, so I'll send them my fork to download for this feature.
