BGP Hijacking

The goal of this project was to simulate a network hijacking event. I used the mininet framework to configure an autonomous system of border routers using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to exchange routing information with one another. I then converted one of the routers to a rogue AS which advertised a false IP prefix to successfully reroute internet traffic.
