Hijacking huge chunks of the internet

Just having a look at the paper now, and yes most does look scriptable.

I?m yet to dive into Ruby, but now is as good a time as any.

I looked at a paper "Stealing The Internet" presented on defcon 16 and a lot of that stuff looks scriptable.

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."
