🥅 Networking Foundations: A Red Team’s Perspective on Exploiting Infrastructure Understanding networking isn't just a foundational skill—it's a weapon for the red team. This Networking Essentials Guide unveils critical insights into networks, from OSI layers to routing protocols, enabling you to exploit vulnerabilities like a pro. --- Key Highlights for Offensive Operations: 1️⃣ OSI Model & Layer Attacks Every layer presents an opportunity! Layer 2 (Data Link): Target ARP poisoning. Layer 3 (Network): Exploit IP spoofing or TTL manipulation. 2️⃣ Routing Protocol Exploits: Use BGP hijacking for traffic redirection. Manipulate RIP or OSPF for malicious route injections. 3️⃣ Switching & VLANs: Leverage VLAN hopping to pivot into isolated networks. Exploit misconfigured Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for network chaos. 4️⃣ Network Access Control (NAT & ACLs): Analyze NAT configurations to bypass IP restrictions. Abuse poorly implemented Access Control Lists (ACLs) for lateral movement. --- 💡 Pro Tip for Red Teamers: Never underestimate layered defenses like VLAN segmentation or routing policies. Identify misconfigurations and turn them into your gateway. This guide isn’t just for defending; it’s your playbook for testing and exploiting the very networks we protect.

🎡 Routing Protocols: The Red Team's Map to Network Dominance Routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP form the backbone of internet and intranet communication. For the red team, understanding these protocols isn't just about exploitation—it's about turning the network's structure into an advantage. --- Key Insights into Routing Protocols: 1️⃣ RIP (Routing Information Protocol): Based on distance vector routing and the Bellman-Ford algorithm. Red Team Tip: Look for misconfigured RIP-enabled devices. They often broadcast unnecessary updates, exposing routes. 2️⃣ OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Utilizes link-state routing and the Dijkstra algorithm. Red Team Tip: Exploit misconfigured authentication in OSPF (plain-text passwords are still used in some setups!). 3️⃣ BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): Manages inter-autonomous system routing with path vector routing. Red Team Tip: Look for prefix hijacking opportunities or weak TCP port 179 configurations. --- Attack Scenarios for Red Teamers: 🧰 Route Poisoning: Inject malicious routing updates to redirect traffic. 🧰 Man-in-the-Middle (MITM): Exploit insecure BGP sessions to intercept traffic. 🧰 Route Enumeration: Analyze exposed RIP or OSPF traffic for internal network mapping. --- 💡 Pro Tip for Defenders: Always secure routing protocols with strong authentication (preferably cryptographic) and limit routing updates to trusted devices only. Routing protocols are more than just pathways—they're vulnerabilities waiting to be secured or exploited. Red or blue, mastering these protocols is non-negotiable. #RedTeam #RoutingProtocols #CyberSecurity #PenTesting #InfoSec #EthicalHacking #OSPF #BGP #RIP
