A real life example

As explained in section 11.1.2, OLSR is vulnerable with regards to many types of attacks. In this section a real life example of how a host can compromise the integrity of the IP addressing protocol thereby compromising many of the services built on top of TCP/IP, is presented. As an example it is shown how a normal HTTP session can be ``hijacked'' by a rouge OLSR node. Of cause, this is only one of many possible attacks.
