Updated eigrp-attacks.md with targeted, source-backed additions instead of broad rewrites. I added a passive recon section focused on what you actually need to form or emulate adjacency, clarified EIGRP transport details that matter for reliable route injection (seq/ack/SEQUENCE TLVs), expanded the Scapy section with higher-fidelity EIGRP TLVs, and added an EIGRP-for-IPv6 section covering FF02::A, interface-based enablement, and a minimal Scapy IPv6 injection example. I also tightened the authentication notes to cover MD5/SHA2-256 TLV behavior and IPv6 key-chain rotation.

I verified the diff and confirmed ## References is still the last section. External references added in the file were:
