H D Moore has NOT been owned
,----[ Quote ]
| From the "half truths that journo's tell" file:
|
| I've been following the Kaminsky DNS cache exploit issue closely since it was
| first announced - and no doubt so has everyone else in the security business.
| As such I was surprised to read a headline this morning that said that
| Metasploit founder H D Moore (and yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and I
| run Metasploit on a test machine too - who doesn't?) had been 'owned'
| (should've been p'wned I think) by the DNS flaw.
|
| The story is not true - at least according to H D Moore who claims he was
| misquoted by the journalist in question.
|
| "In a recent conversation with Robert McMillan (IDG), I described a
| in-the-wild attack against one of AT&T's DNS cache servers, specifically
| one that was configured as an upstream forwarder for an internal DNS
| machine at BreakingPoint Systems," H D Moore wrote in a blog
| post. "Shortly after our conversation, Mr. McMillan published an article
| with a sensationalist title, that while containing most of the facts,
| attributed a quote to me that I simply did not say. Specifically, `"It's
| funny," he said. "I got owned."

Microsoft DNS fix causes trouble for some
,----[ Quote ]
| The Microsoft Corp. released a DNS fix in its patch slate for July, but the
| company seems to have problems just getting it to end users. Moreover, some
| users of the DNS fix have experienced additional difficulties.
|
| So far, since Microsoft's DNS fix was issued on July 10, there have been two
| separate problems associated with its installation.
