💡 BGP Hijacking and IP Spoofing
Border Gateway Protocol hijacking allows attackers to redirect internet traffic through their infrastructure. While less common than application-level attacks, BGP hijacks can intercept sensitive data, inject malware, or cause widespread service disruption.
💡 Open Redirect Exploitation
Open redirect vulnerabilities allow attackers to redirect users from trusted domains to malicious sites. While often underestimated, these flaws enable convincing phishing, token theft through redirect-based OAuth flows, and SSRF chains.
