Routing Attacks
Routing attacks manipulate or abuse routing information to redirect, blackhole, or intercept traffic.
Mechanism
Examples include unauthorized route advertisements, route leaks, and manipulation of dynamic routing sessions.
Indicators to watch
Unexpected route changes, new peers, prefix changes, route flaps, and traffic taking an abnormal path.
Concept diagram
Defensive controls
Authenticate routing sessions, filter prefixes, use route validation where available, segment routing domains, and monitor route changes.
Recommended security control
Routing telemetry / BGP monitoring
Use a virtual routing lab for experiments.
Defence practice lab
The administrator has not attached a tool link yet. This slot will show “Build Soon” until an external link is configured.
Defence techniques
Defence techniques for this attack will be added by the administrator.
