Abstract:

From time to time, global routing is affected by local misconfigurations of global impact. Incorrect routing information leaks into the global routing IP address space becomes hijacked. As such incidents are highly problematic and may even serve as blueprints for purposeful attacks, concepts to prevent or at least automatically detect such incidents are desirable. As planned architectures to prevent prefix hijacking incidents will need some time to become globally deployed and may be ineffective if manipulations are obfuscated, automatic detection seems to be an crucial facet. In this paper, we study a misconflguration event that could serve as blueprint for attacks. With this analysis, we try to provide starting points for the development of indicators to detect routing manipulations and classify them automatically.
