DNS Vulnerability Paper
Summary: Following the close of Defcon, the Sourcefire VRT published a whitepaper on the Kaminsky DNS Vulnerability, which by then was fully public. The paper discusses the issue and proposes detection methods using Snort rules.
What you should know: The Kaminsky flaw was a DNS cache-poisoning issue serious enough to be held back until after Defcon and then addressed with detection rules rather than a fix alone - a reminder that the domain-name layer your internal resolution depends on has been a live attack surface for well over a decade.
