Using a Compromised Router to Capture Network Traffic

Added by Papergrl

Description: This document details the approach, methodology and results of recent experimentation into the use of a captured perimeter router as a tool for network traffic capture. In penetration testing scenarios it is often possible to compromise the perimeter router of an organization. The routers are outside the corporate firewall and often poorly protected. In some cases the captured router may be useful as a launch point for further attack on the target network, but to be truly valuable it is desirable to use this captured router to sniff network traffic to and from the organization.
