Title:          bailiwicked_domain.rb
Description:    Kaminsky DNS Cache Poisoning Flaw Exploit for Domains
Tested:         BIND 9.4.1-9.4.2
Attributes:     Remote, Poison, Resolver, Metasploit
Exploit URL:    http://www.caughq.org/exploits/CAU-EX-2008-0003.txt

Description
===========

This exploit targets a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations
which allow the insertion of malicious DNS records into the cache of the
target nameserver.  This exploit caches a single malicious nameserver
entry into the target nameserver which replaces the legitimate
nameservers for the target domain.  By causing the target nameserver to
query for random hostnames at the target domain, the attacker can spoof
a response to the target server including an answer for the query, an
authority server record, and an additional record for that server,
causing target nameserver to insert the additional record into the
cache.  This insertion completely replaces the original nameserver
records for the target domain.

                                domains nameserver entries in a vulnerable DNS cache server. This attack works
                                by sending random hostname queries to the target DNS server coupled with spoofed
                                replies to those queries from the authoritative nameservers for that domain.
                                Eventually, a guessed ID will match, the spoofed packet will get accepted, and
                                the nameserver entries for the target domain will be replaced by the server
                                specified in the NEWDNS option of this exploit.
