Hi I have been asked which attacks are possible from a Home PC which is connected via cablemodem to the Internet. Originally I thought only BGP attacks are a threat but then I was asked how about the following attacks: a) DNS Spoofing: man in the middle b) ICMP router discovery protocol, e.g. re-routing a route c) ARP cache and spoofing d) IRPAS and VIPPR attacks from phenolit e) OSPF and HSPF attacks etc I thought only the a) and b) are possible but now I am confused again.
From a cablemodem you see only autonomous systems and the respective
routers. Properly configured routers - AS to AS - support only BGP4, don't they? Can you please help me to understand what attach scenarious must be protected to from the above list? Or where do I find respective information? Thanks very much. Mike
