Description
This exploit attacks a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations which
Dan Kaminsky found and disclosed ~Jul 2008. This exploit caches a single
malicious host entry into the target nameserver 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 due to the
additional hostname entry being within bailiwick constraints of the original
request the malicious host entry will get cached.
