Man in the middle DNS hacks !!!
August 17, 2010
Proxies are really very cool. They can appear to be any kind of server, even a DNS.
Consider this…
Let’s say a hacker wanted to modify a foreign domain without touching that domain… Set up a DNS proxy, siphon records from a root server but modify certain records to redirect traffic to a server that spoofs the original using a slick proxy hack.
Now some, but not all users will hit the spoofed site all the while thinking they are hitting the real site.
Would this work ? Only time will tell… You gotta love TCP/IP. LOL
The only questions left to answer revolve around the nexus of, “taking action to harden your sites versus being in denial as to the efficacy of a soft hack…”.
