Interesting information mentioned on the radio...

So most of you are wondering why should I care? Here's why...
If I were to poison a DNS server, I would set up another computer as a man in the middle server. So you type in
www.wellsfargo.com. The dns, since it is now compromised, directs your connection to anywhere I have it set up, which would be that man in the middle server. I could set it up 2 ways. First, I would create a web page that looks exactly like wells fargo. I could set it up so after you type in your user name and password, you get a screen saying the site is down for maintenance. It's not, but I just got your user name and password.
Or, I could set up a sniffer that captures all the information you're sending, then forwards your packets to the real wells fargo site.
Either way, you really don't know what just happened.
I thought I would just throw this out. I am heading to Dark Knight, so I am going to read up more on it later.
Happy surfing.
