GILL represents the next generation in BGP routes collection, designed to significantly improve the efficiency and quality of Internet routing data. By employing an innovative “overshoot-and-discard” method, GILL peers with a large network of routers, retaining only unique, non-redundant routes.

Despite global efforts to secure Internet routing, attackers still successfully exploit the lack of strong BGP security mechanisms. This paper focuses on an attack vector that is frequently used: Forged-origin hijacks, a type of BGP hijack where the attacker manipulates the AS path to make it immune to RPKI-ROV filters and appear as legitimate routing updates from a BGP monitoring standpoint.
