Description: In this talk titled "All your Packets belong to us - Attacking Backbone Technologies" given by Enno Rey and Daniel Mende at Blackhat 2009 Europe we look at how hackers can attack core Internet backbone technologies such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Carrier Ethernet. In a nutshell, what the researchers explain is that any protocol which works on a trust model can be easily compromised and hacked. The element of trust is especially high in the inside of an organization, thus making an "insider" attack the most fesable one against these protocols. <br><br>During the course of their talk, they release various tools - Bgp_cli ( allows manual injection of routes ), Bgp_md5crack ( used to crack the MD5 auth in BGP), Mpls_redirect ( modifies VPN labels of packets at the core thus allowing for arbitrary redirection ), Mpls_tun ( provides a VPN stack to the attacker, who can now use his other programs tunneled through a VPN ) and Ldp_cli ( allows to take part in LDP discussions, be part of subsequent sessions and propogate LDP information at will ).<br> <br>A high resolution version of this video can be downloaded here.
