| description | The Web Cache Control Protocol (WCCP), available on Cisco devices, does not provide any authentication. A router configured to support Cache Engines will treat any host that sends it valid WCCP hello packets as a cache engine, and may divert HTTP traffic to that host. If a router is configured to use WCCP, an attacker can divert web traffic passing through such a router. |
