Protect Yourself From DNS Cache Poisoning

In this video, I give an overview of what DNS Cache Poisoning. Bwana.TV member, TuxedoJericho requested this topic in the Bwana.TV group on geeks.pirillo.com. First off, the textbook definition: "DNS cache poisoning is a maliciously created or unintended situation that provides data to a Domain Name Server that did not originate from authoritative DNS sources." Confused? Probably. What this means is that DNS Cache Poisoning fools your computer to take you to malicious sites instead of where you intended to go. For example, if you want to go www.paypal.com and your DNS cache is poisoned, you could end up at a different site built to harvest your username and password and ultimately steal your information. To protect yourself from DNS cache poisoning, contact your ISP and ensure they are patched against all current exploit. If you or they are unsure, setup OpenDNS which is a free service that is currently secure and also gives you other benefits that I'm sure you could benefit from. I use OpenDNS here at Bwana.TV headquarters and I highly encourage you to visit their site and educate yourself on how to set it up. Enjoy!
