Question

In an attack known as ____, valid protocol packets exploit poorly configured dns servers to inject false information to corrupt the servers' answers to routine dns queries from other systems on that network.

Answer 1

The answer is DNS Cache Poisoning

Also known as DNS spoofing, this is a type of attack that exploits the Domain Name System to divert traffic away to legitimate servers. It inserts corrupt data into the cache database of the DNS server. In this attack, a hacker sends forged responses from an imposter DNS with an intention to reroute a domain name to a new IP address. This new IP is almost always controlled by the hacker.
