Securing Internet Routing Tutorial
Date: 13th October 2020
Location: Tutorial
Venue: Online
Synopsis
- Why do we keep seeing news headlines about major networks not being reachable because traffic got rerouted to somewhere else? BGP mishaps are very common and frighteningly very easy. Examples are malicious route hijacking, mis-origination (fat fingers), and bad filters (route leaks). We need better mechanism(s) to ensure no one can inject false information into the global routing system that easily.
- This tutorial will look at current tools/techniques, how rPKI is just a piece in the puzzle, and what we should do to secure the internet routing instead of waiting for an ideal solution that fixes all issues.
Target Audience
- Anyone interested in understanding issues with securing the internet routing system and the use of filtering tools/techniques including filtering using ROAs.
Pre-requisites
- This workshop is not an introduction - It is assumed that the workshop participants have a working knowledge of an OSPF/IS-IS and BGP fundamentals, along with know how to use a router command line interface.
- The lab exercises use Cisco IOS configuration syntax.
Other Requirements
- Hardware: It is highly recommended that participants bring their own laptop computers with Wifi(b/g/n) and administrative access to system to practice the lessons learned during the workshops.
- Software: SSH Client, Telnet Client (PuTTy)
