Through the Looking-Glass, and What Eve Found There Luca "kaeso" Bruno RESEARCH ENGINEER, EURECOM Mariano "emdel" Graziano PH.D. STUDENT, EURECOM Traditionally, network operators have provided some kind of public read-only access to their current view of the BGP routing table, by the means of a "looking glass”.

In this talk we inspect looking glass instances from a security point of view, showing many shortcomings and flaws which could let a malicious entity take control of critical devices connected to them.

In particular, we will highlight how easy it is for a low-skilled attacker to gain access to core routers within multiple ISP infrastructures.

Luca is currently a research engineer at Eurecom in Sophia-Antipolis (FR). He graduated as a Systems and Networks Engineer at Telecom Paristech and Politecnico di Torino, and is a Debian Developer and an active FLOSS evangelist. Luca's research area includes security of embedded devices, Internet core infrastructure and mobile networks (GSM/LTE).
