It'll probably be slashdotted by the time you get to it, but see: http://devrandom.net/~dilinger/ Andres Salomon, a fairly clued in RPI student, heard on IRC that the Yankees website had been hacked. He checked it out, noted some well-known Red Hat security holes, and came to the conclusion that there had been a DNS redirect attack. Total time: 5 minutes. The next day, the FBI raided his dorm room and seized his computers (along with a copy of ORA's DNS & BIND). He described them as 'nice' -after all, they left him his CD-Rs of mp3, divx & pr0n.
