Blackhat Docker Networking Routopsy Talks
This is a summary of our BlackHat USA 2020 talk. Introduction On some of our engagements, Szymon and I found ourselves on various networks vulnerable to; insecure, misconfigured, and often overlooked networking protocols. These included dynamic routing protocols (referred to as DRP‘s) and first hop redundancy protocols (referred to as FHRP‘s). We decided to focus on these two classes of networking protocols to manipulate traffic flows and identify non-conventional ways of performing Person-in-the-Middle (PitM) attacks. This post details the results of that research and the tool we wrote to explore this attack surface. The tool is called Routopsy and is available on Github.
