Re: DNS Injection Problem

["Blade Runner" <blade () seven com br>]

You were the first to mention it,  I am studying the subject.

One interesting thing to quote, and sorry about the ignorance, is:

Is possible to restart the DNS server with such attack?
The local where the .zone and named.inc ( dns conf file ) file are stored is
protected with these permission "-rw-r--r--", only root can modify or
add new files ( theorically ).

I am fear that the attacker is getting root privileges somewhere else
to do that.

But maybe in my research about dns poisonig I can get the answer.

I will isolate the server to run a sniffer and check the queries, if the
problem is with DNS it will be easier to detect even for a newbie :-) .

Thanks.
