The Gatekeeper’s Map: Securing the Perimeter through Strategic Routing

This lecture explores the critical intersection of network architecture and security, focusing on how data flow control defines a network's defensive posture. We begin by examining Autonomous Systems (AS) and how their boundaries serve as the first line of defense against external threats. Students will learn to distinguish between the rigid security of Static Routes—ideal for locked-down, predictable paths—and the catch-all utility of Default Routes, which can become a "highway to the unknown" if not properly managed. The lecture culminates in a security-focused audit of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). We will analyze the inherent vulnerabilities of "routing by rumor," the risks of unauthorized advertisements (route injection), and the essential hardening techniques—such as MD5 authentication and passive interfaces—required to keep internal network maps out of the hands of attackers.
