An interesting article was posted on the register today regarding the exploitation of the Border Gateway Protocol, in which : "Kaminsky also said pulling off the BGP attack would require a level of expertise that exceeded typical attacks, such as the ubiquitous SQL injection exploits or those targeting the DNS bug. "Theres not going to be a Metaspoit module that any kid can run that can go ahead and run this attack," he said."
