DNS Attack Writer a Victim of His Own Creation

BobB writes "HD Moore has been owned. Moore, the creator of the popular Metasploit hacking toolkit, has become the victim of a computer attack. It happened on Tuesday morning, when Moore's company, BreakingPoint, had some of its Internet traffic redirected to a fake Google page that was being run by a scammer. According to Moore, the hacker was able to do this by launching what's known as a cache poisoning attack on a DNS server on AT&T's network that was serving the Austin, Texas, area. One of BreakingPoint's servers was forwarding DNS (Domain Name System) traffic to the AT&T server, so when it was compromised, so was HD Moore's company."

Yes Americans are known emotional types. For instance that Futbol game where people were crushed to death when the stadium collapsed with people in it to the ground.
I believe they were from Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
Yes those AMERICANS RAPID fans. Packing in like sardines to see a game. Crazy bastards!
Not like you well mannered Brits. Limey's are the salt of the earth.
