celebrating 10 years of routing insecurity

Dear all, Today marks the 10th anniversary of the famous Kapela-Pilosov Man-in-the-middle BGP attack! It is a fantastic and innovative attack that would be worthy of referencing in the next Mr Robot season. :-) video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0BM6aB90n8 slide: https://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-16/dc16-presentations/defcon-16-pilosov... So, what is the state of routing security anno 2018? It seems that as an industry we're on an upwards trajectory: various IRR registries are locking themselves down to prevent creation of unauthorized route(6) objects, new filter generation tools are becoming available, RPKI based BGP Origin Validation is slowly seeing more and more deployment, and the concept of blocking route announcements with improbable AS_PATHs is gaining popularity as well. Let's see where we are 10 years from now! Kind regards, Job
