Re: anonymous Zonetransfer (AXFR) exploatation

I never heard of laws that forbids you to get DNS content from a server. Maybe I am late with the news, but
as long as it is only an information disclosure it shouldnt be less legal than a port scan.

But back to the topic I successfully extracted information using AXFR and I am thinking of a poisoning, 
but again there is a lack of good documentation on this areas or maybe lack of interest.

I have found this as a good reading about AXFR and poisoning

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.

Cheers,
