Ok, ok, so i used the verb in the wrong way :).I was just amazed at "should be considered". I myself still try it from time to time, but in this part of the world (yeah, i know Romania has a bad reputation) it seldom works. So, let's stick to the matter at hand: i agree, it should be part of a standard pen-test if there are no specific laws against using it even in test conditions.

Even just getting a list of hosts with a few interesting CNAME entries can give you a few potential targets or point to domains you weren't previously aware of. -J On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 11:09 AM, Radu Oprisan <radu () securesystems ro> wrote:LordDoskias wrote: >> >> > The best thing that I can think if to use the information obtained > from the zone transfer.
