Attack Code Published For DNS Vulnerability

Posted by samzenpus on from the protect-ya-neck dept.

get_Rootin writes "That didn't take long. ZDNet is reporting that HD Moore has released exploit code for Dan Kaminsky's DNS cache poisioning vulnerability into the point-and-click Metasploit attack tool. From the article: 'This exploit caches a single malicious host entry into the target nameserver. By causing the target nameserver to query for random hostnames at the target domain, the attacker can spoof a response to the target server including an answer for the query, an authority server record, and an additional record for that server, causing target nameserver to insert the additional record into the cache.' Here's our previous Slashdot coverage."

      He's got something, that much is true. No one looks that ill and denies it unless he's trying to cover it up.

      I don't think Jobs did Apple. He did a computer called Next, which was between the Commodore and Amiga lines. He became Apple CE0 when the Ipod became popular. I think it was his design.

      Now they're left with nowhere to go and are taking their idiocy all over the internet!

      For fuck's sake, whoever is DDoSing 4chan needs to stop already! The tards have spread out and are trolling the whole internet. At least the 4chan cesspool kept them all mostly in one place. Now they're left with nowhere to go and are taking their idiocy all over the internet!

      You can't fool me. Your post was just a roundabout way of suggesting that Steve Jobs' illness is the cancer that is killing /b/! :)

    I'm very glad to see this story posted here on digg. I'm also quite happy with the new layout digg released this morning... it's better than ever, what with its new AJAXified comments.

    Omg, do you know what would be awesome? Let's poison dns caches so that slashdot's hostname resolves to digg's servers. Slashdot readers are so stupid that they wouldn't even notice the change!

    Viva le digg, cause we here at digg are fracking cool!
