Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): 179

Security Weaknesses

• BGP hijacking or route leaks.

• Man-in-the-middle attacks through route manipulation.

• Lack of built-in encryption or authentication.

Security Defense and Mitigation Measures

• Implement RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure).

• Use BGP session authentication (e.g., MD5).

• Monitor BGP route changes and anomalies.

Indicators of Compromise or Attack

• Unexpected route changes or advertisements.

• Abnormal routing table growth.

• Increased latency or connectivity issues.
