I think the notion of the DNS spoofing has been killed forever.

I just finished writing one for this DNS spoofing test that we'll be talking about soon.

So, yes, that's another - DNS spoofing does allow and support a man-in-the-middle attack.

DNS spoofing has happened since then.

And when I mentioned that I was going to be doing this DNS spoofing test, someone said, uh, Steve, could we have that back?

The latter case where the user is redirected to another destination would be considered DNS Spoofing, otherwise known as "DNS Poisoning".

After catching up with the week's security updates and news, Steve and Leo revisit the continuing concern over DNS Spoofing by examining the technology behind Steve's quite comprehensive, free, online DNS Spoofability Testing system at GRC.com.

Together with DNS cache poisoning, it becomes quite a nasty threat.

As a reader of this article, you are probably familiar with the DNS cache poisoning techniques discovered a few years ago.

When we talk about a cache, a DNS cache poisoning attack, that's what this is.

The system also selectively engages in DNS cache poisoning when particular sites are requested.

Proof of concept code for new DNS cache poisoning attacks publicly available, which provides suggested actions.

That's DNS cache poisoning attacks.

So a ton of vulnerabilities, arbitrary code execution problems, denial of service, and some DNS cache poisoning.

Other threats highlighted in the report include DNS cache poisoning, whereby a website's domain name server is compromised with unauthorised data, and route hijacking.

The company is most famous for producing visualizations of security incidents, for example the patching of DNS cache poisoning attacks and Botnet traffic.

The hijacking was made possible using a DNS cache poisoning attack, exploiting a security vulnerability in versions of BIND earlier than 4.9.6.

Google documents efforts to be resistant to DNS cache poisoning, including "Kaminsky Flaw" attacks as well as denial-of-service attacks.

Chris Davis collaborated along with Dan Kaminsky to inform key agencies in the Canadian government about the DNS cache poisoning flaw.

WHY: The specter of malicious DNS cache poisoning looms over the Internet, creating security nightmares for corporations and threatening the very foundations of e-commerce.

The second variant of DNS cache poisoning involves redirecting the nameserver of another domain unrelated to the original request to an IP address specified by the attacker.

For example, an attacker could use DNS cache poisoning to create a fabricated DNS entry of that points to the IP address of the attacker's server.

AL08-001 Date: 21 July 2008 Purpose The purpose of this alert is to raise awareness that proof of concept code that can facilitate DNS cache poisoning attacks has been publicly disclosed.

DNSSEC was designed to protect applications (and caching resolvers serving those applications) from using forged or manipulated DNS data, such as that created by DNS cache poisoning.

DNSSEC employs digital signatures to ensure the authenticity of DNS data received from a DNS server, which protect against DNS cache poisoning attacks.

Yet when I went to the DoxPara test page I found my DNS server was vulnerable to DNS cache poisoning, with all the requests being sent out over a single port.

Assessment DNS cache poisoning attacks are used to insert false DNS information in caching "name servers" which will be relayed to hosts requesting DNS information from the affected servers.

I start by blocking ads at my Tomato-based router using a DNS cache poisoning script (it updates itself several times a day); that helps protect devices that don't have adblocking capabilities (like my factory-fresh iPod touch).

One such issue is DNS cache poisoning, in which data is distributed to caching resolvers under the pretense of being an authoritative origin server, thereby polluting the data store with potentially false information and long expiration times (time-to-live).

Because the terrorists who are going to attack using a sophisticated DNS cache poisoning technique are obviously too stupid to download a list of government websites and go through them one-by-one to see which are using DNSSEC.

He is known among computer security experts for his work on DNS cache poisoning, and for showing that the Sony Rootkit had infected at least 568,200 computers and for his talks at the Black Hat Briefings.

If an attacker is able to cause a DNS server to cache a fabricated DNS entry (called DNS cache poisoning), then this could allow the attacker to gain access to a user's cookies.
