DNS Hijacking by Cox

["Andrew Matthews" <exstatica () gmail com>]

It looks like cox is hijacking dns for irc servers.


bash2-2.05b$ nslookup
> server 68.6.16.30
Default server: 68.6.16.30
Address: 68.6.16.30#53
> irc.vel.net
Server:         68.6.16.30
Address:        68.6.16.30#53

Name:   irc.vel.net
Address: 70.168.71.144




> server ns1.vel.net
Default server: ns1.vel.net
Address: 207.182.224.10#53
> irc.vel.net
Server:         ns1.vel.net
Address:        207.182.224.10#53

Name:   irc.vel.net
Address: 64.161.255.2

it looks like they are using it to clean drones, when you connect to
their fake irc server you get forced joined into a channel.

        <Marvin_> .remove
        <Marvin_> .uninstall
        <Marvin_> !bot.remove
        <Marvin_> !remove
