I will be presenting "Our Vulnerable Networks" at #Sikkerhetsfestivalen 2026, talking BGP & RPKI history, status & "how to get it done".
Through history back to 1989 (BGP), L0pht testifying for congress in 1998 and lots more, I will explain the problem, the gaps, current status and what we need to do to fix a global internet routing security issue that is exploited many times daily.
Thanks to @internet_nl & @ripencc for their tools & knowledge, and the @cloudflare routing radar!
@dbelson Would *love* to talk one day, as I'm using CF radar in preparations for that talk in august, but also to promote the use of rpki to everyone relevant.
"Never heard of it."
"Not a problem."
"Doesn't happen to us."
"That's someone elses problem."
"Theory. Ransomware is for real, so we focus on that."
"No documented losses or problems due to lack of rpki."
I've heard other versions as well. CF Radar provide documentation on some of those, but could - imho - provide more info.
