Draft:Living-off-the-Land attack

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is a cutting-edge approach to network management that shifts the focus from manually configuring individual devices to specifying desired outcomes or business objectives, referred to as "intents" [1]. Rather than relying on low-level commands to configure the network, administrators define these high-level intents, and the network dynamically adjusts itself to meet these requirements [1]. IBN simplifies the management of complex networks by ensuring that the network infrastructure aligns with the desired operational goals. For example, an implementer can explicitly state a network purpose with a policy such as “Allow hosts A and B to communicate with X bandwidth capacity” without the need to understand the detailed mechanisms of the underlying devices (e.g. switches), topology or routing configurations [2].
