Big Surprise: DNS Attacks In The Wild!

Posted 3 months, 3 weeks ago at 11:10 pm. 0 comments

Only about a week after the full disclosure of Dan Kaminski’s DNS Cache Poisoning Vulnerability have reports of actual live attacks started to trickle in. Surprising they have taken so long, as the metasploit code was available only about a day later (here). HD Moore - one of the guys responsible for the metasploit exploit has also been in the news for having his DNS pwned by the exploit already :)

Good news is that my TimeWarner RoadRunner Cable service was patched only about 4 days ago. Check your status by going to doxpara.com and clicking the “Check My DNS” button.
