Hey Richard,

You should search for DNS Cache Poisoning.

A pretty good document will provide you a lot of information :

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] DNS Hijack Attacks

Hello,

Sorry about this post.

I've been trying to find information about DNS Hijack attacks for ages. I
can't seem to find anything about them.

Am I right in thinking that this attack is where a DNS server is broken into
and the routing table modified so that a domain name points to a different
server where the content is controlled by the attacker?

Could anyone point me in the right direction for more information. I was
hoping for a whitepaper or something...

Regards,
    Richard
