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."

    The niggers have a new saying thats 10000% better!! Like the way Tupac made tons of money and could have gotten the fuck out of the ghetto but he was a tru-nigga so he stayed in the ghetto so somebody shot him, cuz he's a homie-G like dat. The only thing worse than knee-growes who dont know better are suburban white kids who see this shit and think its cool. Keep havin a bunch of bastard kids you bitches, yer not hurtin society at all!

    Naw. I'm guessing that he ran out to the receptionist desk, and cried in his mommy's lap.

    Actually my favorite is "jew fucker shitcock".

    I mean seriously.. what does that even mean? If you are going to pwn somebody, or respond to getting pwned, you can at least be witty with your responses. Kids these days make Forest Gump look like Einstein.

    Now this hacker gets HIGH marks for what he did. Performing a DNS exploit on the very creator of a DNS exploit tool is actually very well played and Moore's response was pretty cool too. :)

    "Jew fucker shitcock" was probably any of the male residents of the four bibilical cities of satan in the old testament
