hi there,

We obviously got some cache poisoning recently.
FYI: we are using MS DNS.
Anyone got the same problems???

I've seen nothing on our IDS...

PS: I CCed dnsmaster () ns3 domainname at just to check if he's aware of
this...

here's the stuff:
It looks definitely like the old DNS cache poisoning trick:

THERE:

www.vmyths.com
Name:    vmyths.com
Address:  216.217.111.18
Aliases:  www.vmyths.com

let's see if this comes from some poisoning and so on...


if we look the SOA records from a distant site, we get this:

set q=SOA
vmyths.com
vmyths.com
        origin = dns9.register.com
        mail addr = root.register.com
        serial = 2000011705
        refresh = 10800 (3H)
        retry   = 86400 (1D)
        expire  = 604800 (1W)
        minimum ttl = 3600 (1H)
vmyths.com      nameserver = dns9.register.com
vmyths.com      nameserver = dns10.register.com

whereas if we look at them from our point of view:

set q=SOA
vmyths.com
        vmyths.com
        origin = ns3.domainname.at
        mail address = dnsmaster.ns3.domainname.at
        serial = 1009665720
        refresh = 1800 (30M)
        retry   = 600 (10M)
        expire  = 1800 (30M)
        minimum ttl = 1800 (30M)
