Anyone know of any low S/N lists out there for "Crackerpunks"??
So what did Kashpureff do? Who is Kashpureff? Is he the guy at Alternic who did some advanced DNS hacking to get Internic DNS root to point to him? Or something else?
Yup, that's him.
IIRC, he exploited Bind's failure to check input in certain cases: He set his DNS server to be the delegating authority for .com, say; then sent a recursive query to his victim's DNS server to get the victim to query _his_ server; his server mixed the bogus info into its response to the query, thus poisoning the victim's DNS.
Cypherpunks write code. Crackerpunks read code.
