Kaminsky DNS Cache Poisoning PoC Exploit in Metasploit SVN

Looks like Druid and HDM have release a proof of concept exploit in Metasploit to attack nameserver's using Kaminsky's now leaked vulnerability. This is huge because not only is the attack unbelievably easy execute, 95% of the Internet is still vulnerable!

This is a historical moment in IT Security and will be a very, very busy day for those of us on the defense side.

Or simply grab the latest metasploit:

svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/

Snort signatures I wrote for Emerging Threats:

*** Update ***
New metasploit module out this morning which allows you to overwrite cache poisoning the NS record for an entire domain. This means if you have evil NS server to take requests you mass own entire domains such as google, microsoft, etc. Scary stuff.
