Description

This exploit attacks a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations which
Dan Kaminsky found and disclosed ~Jul 2008. This exploit replaces the target
domains nameserver entries in a vulnerable DNS cache server. This attack works
by sending random hostname queries to the target DNS server coupled with spoofed
replies to those queries from the authoritative nameservers for that domain.
Eventually, a guessed ID will match, the spoofed packet will get accepted, and
the nameserver entries for the target domain will be replaced by the server
specified in the NEWDNS option of this exploit.
