A serious security vulnerability has been discovered in the algorithms of DNS software by the two Israeli students ‘Roee Hay’ and ‘Jonathan Kalechstein’ who are working under a project out at the Laboratory of Computer Communication & Networking in the Faculty of Computer Science at the Technion. The students have found a way to compel DNS servers to connect with a specific server controlled by the attacker that could respond with a false IP address. This type of cyber attack gives hackers an advantage, by causing computers to ‘talk’ with network stations that they alone control.
