IGRP(1)IGRP(1)NAMEigrp - igrp route injector
SYNOPSISigrp-i <interface> -v-f <routes file> -a <as number> -S <spoofed
source ip addrs> -D <destination router ip addrs>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the igrp command. This manual page
was written for the Debian distribution because the original program
does not have a manual page.
IGRP is a tool for route injection. The routing protocol IGRP is no
longer really widely used in the outside world, but for the first
steps, we decided to use this one as a starting point.
The whole purpose is to define a routing table with all possible param‐
eters by hand without having your system actually running any kind of
dynamic routing and sending this information out to the routers. Since
IGRP is a broadcast based protocol, the default behavior is to send
these messages to the ip broadcast address (255.255.255.255). If you
want to inject a route to a system remote from you, you have to address
the 'update' accordingly and make sure that you send the packet(s) with
the right source address, so the router accepts the update.
Before using the tool, you have to design your routing table you want
to inject in the target router. It should contain data which makes your
route the preferred one for the victim. The format is:
destination:delay:bandwidth:mtu:reliability:load:hopcount
where destination is the network (192.168.1.0), delay is in ms/10,
bandwidth in MBit per second, MTU is the maximum transfer unit (1500
for ethernet), reliability and load are in percent (255=100%, 1=0%) and
hopcount just in hops.
Empty lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.
-i <interface> interface
-v verbose
-f <routes file> file, which contains the routes (as much as you like)
-a <autonomous system> autonomous system the IGRP process is running
on, use ASS to find it out or specify a range to use with -a START -b
STOP to send updates to all AS from START to STOP (I highly recommend
using ASS for this!!)
-S <spoofed source IP> maybe you need this
-D <destination IP> If you don't specify this, the broadcast address is
used
If you want the routes to be persistent (after some testing around),
make up a shell loop and run the program within this loop every 25-30
seconds, to keep the router beliving your routes.
