Abstract

The TCP/IP suite is the basis for today's Internet, yet it lacks even the most basic mechanisms of authentication. As usage of the Internet increases, its scarcity of built-in security becomes more and more of a problem. This paper describes serious attacks against Internet control and management protocols, with an emphasis on the ICMP protocol, as well as some of the well-known vulnerabilities of the inter-domain routing protocols. All the presented attacks have at least one common feature: they exploit intrinsic network security flaws. The paper also discusses various solutions to these security breaches, including the use of IPsec.
