Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)¶
TCP is a primary attack surface here, not a means to an end for BGP. These trees model connection hijacking, session exhaustion, stateful device bypass, and transport-layer service disruption in their own right. Cross-protocol consequences in routing appear in section 3 of the canonical tree as derived outcomes, not the organising principle.
Three files take a specific TCP-transport view of BGP-related mechanics: Router TCP stack exploitation, BGP session manipulation, and Man-in-the-middle BGP sessions. Each is a scoped derivative of the canonical BGP attack surface at Rootways: BGP.
