Routing and Router Vulnerabilities

Routers are the major devices in every modern organization. In a connected world, routing is the backbone of exchanging information, and we know that valuable information is a target for attackers on a daily basis. This chapter will take you through a learning experience that begins by exploring routing operations and guides you through real-world demonstrations of exploiting routing protocols and routers.

In this chapter, you will discover the following:

  • Routing fundamentals
  • Exploiting routing protocols—RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP
  • Exploiting modern routers
  • How to defend against level 3 attacks
