They likely haven't patched their DNS servers yet. Go for ADDITIONAL INFORMATION query responses that redirect sites like GOOGLE to your hack pages.

I'm working on a project that requires me to find some ways to cause mayhem to a network. I'm trying to knock down a bind9 server and so far have been unsuccessful. I'm running it on a server with 64 mb ram so that hopefully that would make it easier to knock down with a small ddos attack but so far its only taking up 6 percent of the memory with the amount queries I've been throwing at.

I'm not much a DNS guy. Do any of you guys know any bad bind configurations that could cause it to perform terribly to the point that it'll crash.
Also If you know any for bind8 I could always switch to that. Thanks
