You don't have to break into the "right" router; you just have to start announcing the networks in a way that your peers don't -- can't -- detect is improper.
I did not mean that the network operator was malicious. I meant, in the same way that vulnerable servers are broken into and used for DoS, can routers be broken into and do DoS via blackholes? I think it is hard unless you know the right combination of vulnerable router (sniffable LAN?) and unprotected upstream or peer. -- http://www.internet.org.ph The Philippine Internet Resource Mobile Voice/Messaging: +63-917-810-9728
