Changelog

All notable changes to RAVEN are recorded here.

v0.3.2 (2026-06-16)

Fixed

  • Demo lab: all docker exec calls in demo-master.sh now use sudo (silent injection failures occurred when run without root)
  • Demo lab: setup() now injects LEAK-PREFIX prefix-list into running FRR containers via vtysh post-deploy; Containerlab mounts frr.conf but FRR does not reload on redeploy, causing the leak scenario to fail on cold start
  • Demo lab: Routinator 0.15.1 changed CLI syntax; --config flag must now be passed as a global flag before the subcommand (routinator -c ~/.routinator.conf server) not after it
  • Grafana: BGP Peers panel filtered to IPv4-only peers and panel height increased (IPv6 peer additions doubled tile count, causing overflow)

v0.3.1 (2026-06-08)

Added

  • IPv6 route monitoring via BMP (MP_REACH_NLRI / MP_UNREACH_NLRI parsing)
  • IPv6 ROV validation
  • IPv6 origin hijack scenario in demo lab (./demo-master.sh hijack6)
  • TLS support for BMP listener and RTR client; skip TCP buffer tuning (SetReadBuffer/SetWriteBuffer) for TLS connections (WSL2 compatibility)

Fixed

  • Demo lab: lacnic scenario 4 route leak used inline LEAK-INJECT route-map with wrong prepend ASN (AS64496 → ROV:Invalid); replaced with permanent ROUTE-LEAK route-map (prepend AS1199 → ROV:Valid, ASPA:Invalid, posture:path-suspect as intended)
  • Demo lab: leak and hijack6 vtysh commands converted to heredoc syntax (docker exec ... bash -c "vtysh << 'VTYSH' ... VTYSH") to fix silent failures caused by leading spaces in -c arguments
  • Demo lab: leak scenario prefix corrected to 193.0.0.0/21 (AS3333 / RIPE NCC); SLURM ASPA assertion added for AS3333 with provider AS1103 (excluding AS65000 to trigger path-suspect)

Changed

  • Demo lab internet router ASN changed from AS2121 to AS64496 to avoid spurious path-suspect at baseline caused by real-world RPKI/ASPA records for AS2121

v0.3.0 (2026-05-26)

Added

  • Event Engine: configurable triggers on posture changes (ROV state change, new route with specific posture, RTR cache failure) with webhook HTTP POST and file log actions
  • Flowspec lifecycle management: detect origin-invalid route → generate Flowspec rule → inject via GoBGP → monitor → expire after configurable TTL. Dry-run mode and approval webhook supported.
  • raven audit — full security posture report for a router: per-peer posture breakdown, ROV/ASPA coverage, recommendations. Outputs table, JSON, or markdown.
  • raven check stealthy — detect stealthy BGP hijacks by comparing BMP control-plane view against data-plane forwarding via probes
  • Warm-start persistence: snapshot route table and RPKI caches to disk on shutdown, restore on startup
  • OpenTelemetry OTLP metrics export alongside Prometheus
  • RTR-over-TLS: configure transport: tls and optional CA cert under any RTR cache entry
  • BMP listener TLS: optional TLS termination on the BMP listener with mutual TLS support
  • Event Engine ASN triggers: asn and protected_asn trigger types (contributed by Orange/AS3215)

Fixed

  • RTR rtr-version config field now correctly wired through to the client (was previously ignored)
  • TCP socket buffer tuning skipped for TLS connections (prevented TLS sessions from establishing on some platforms)

v0.2.0 (2026-05-18)

Added

  • ASPA path verification per draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-24
  • Combined security posture matrix: Secured / Origin-Only / Path-Suspect / Path-Only / Unverified / Origin-Invalid
  • ASPA store populated via RTR v2 ASPA PDUs; re-validation on ASPA store updates via dirty-set propagation
  • raven aspa — show ASPA records for an ASN
  • raven aspa recommend — suggest ASPA objects based on observed paths
  • raven what-if — simulate impact of reject-invalid or ASPA enforcement
  • raven watch — stream live validation state changes
  • Prometheus posture metrics reflect full ROV × ASPA matrix

v0.1.0 (2026-04-15)

Initial public release — Phase 1 (Foundation) complete.

BMP Ingest

  • Embedded BMP receiver (RFC 7854) on configurable TCP port (default: 11019)
  • Parses BGP UPDATE messages from BMP Route Monitoring PDUs
  • Supports Adj-RIB-In Pre-Policy, Post-Policy, and Loc-RIB
  • Per-session lifecycle management (Initiation, Peer Up/Down, Termination)

RPKI / RTR Client

  • RTR v1 (RFC 8210) and RTR v2 (draft-ietf-sidrops-8210bis) client
  • VRP store for Route Origin Validation
  • Multi-cache support with preference ordering and automatic failover
  • Re-validation on RPKI cache updates via dirty-set propagation

Validation Engine

  • Route Origin Validation (ROV) per RFC 6811: Valid / Invalid / NotFound

CLI

  • raven serve — start daemon
  • raven status — BMP peer and RTR cache health
  • raven peers — list BMP peers
  • raven routes — query route table with filters (prefix, origin-asn, peer, posture)
  • raven validate — one-shot prefix validation

Observability

  • Prometheus metrics endpoint (default: 9595)
  • Pre-built Grafana dashboards (Security Posture Overview, Per-Peer Deep Dive)

Demo Lab

  • Containerlab topology: internet AS64496 → upstream AS65000 → edge AS65001
  • Scripted demo scenarios: origin hijack, route leak
