http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/revealed-the-in.html """ BGP eavesdropping has long been a theoretical weakness, but no one is known to have publicly demonstrated it until Anton "Tony" Kapela, data center and network director at 5Nines Data <http://www.5ninesdata.com/>, and Alex Pilosov, CEO of Pilosoft <http://www.pilosoft.com/>, showed their technique at the recent DefCon hacker conference. The pair successfully intercepted traffic bound for the conference network and redirected it to a system they controlled in New York before routing it back to DefCon in Las Vegas. The technique, devised by Pilosov, doesn't exploit a bug or flaw in BGP. It simply exploits the natural way BGP works. """ If you're in NYC and you need hosting, I highly recommend Pilosoft. They were Immunity's original hosting provider back before Alex was into going to security conferences. :> -dave
