Internet Address Bug
Published August 7th, 2008
A recently found flaw in the internet’s addressing system is worse than first feared, says the man who found it.
Dan Kaminsky made his comments when speaking publicly for the first time about his discovery at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.
He said fixes for the flaw in the net’s Domain Name System (DNS) had focused on web browsers but it could be abused by hackers in many other ways.
“Every network is at risk,” he said. That’s what this flaw has shown.”
