Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable the reduction of the impact of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacks by automatically announcing more-specific route prefixes when a netblock is hijacked. In various embodiments, the more-specific route prefixes may be automatically withdrawn when the netblock hijacking stops.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable the mitigation of malicious botnets. Various embodiments may block communication of malicious botnets from customer computing devices to malicious command and control (C2) servers. Various embodiments may include mitigating botnets in a network by diverting Internet traffic bound for a malicious C2 server to a botnet mitigation controller of the network. In various embodiments, diverting Internet traffic may include programmatically injecting Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes in a network to route Internet traffic bound for a malicious C2 server to a botnet mitigation controller of the network. In various embodiments, a botnet mitigation controller may determine whether diverted Internet traffic is malicious and may handle malicious diverted Internet traffic according to one or more security settings.
