Kaminsky’s DNS Attack Disclosed, Then Pulled
Quoting \.,
An anonymous reader writes “Reverse engineering expert Halver Flake has recently mused on Dan Kaminsky’s DNS vulnerability. Apparently his musings were close enough to the mark to cause one of the Matasano team, who apparently already knew of the attack, to publish the details on the Matasano blog in a post entitled ‘Reliable DNS Forgery in 2008.’ The blog post has since been pulled, but evidence of it exists on Google and elsewhere. It appears only a matter of time now before the full details leak.”
I have hosted the full details here. It is an engrossing read and at the same time, rather scary.
Simply put, PayPal.com may not actually be PayPal.com - so on an so forth! Rather than gaining root to deface a website, all that is required is this DNS poisoning attack to redirect entire traffic elsewhere.
*Shudder*…
