Re: bind9 crash

["Secure Scorp" <securescorp () gmail com>]

TCP 53 is used for DNS zone transfer.

You can use Zodiac', A DNS protocol analyzation and exploitation
program (http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/zodiac/) and/or  use
SamSpade  to perform DNS zone transfers. Also, Im sure you can use
NMAP to generate various types of scans on port 53.
