Question

DNS Cache Poisoning - How To Fix DNS Poisoning & Secure PC Connection Across The Internet?

Answer 1

Dan Kaminsky of DoxPara Research was among the first to report on DNS cache poisoning which involved diverting users to non-authentic sites through loopholes in the user's Internet security settings. This mainly involves 'poisoning' and remotely controlling the DNS cache (Domain Name Servers), which is key to how you access the Internet.



DNS maps the path between the textual address of a website and its numeric IP address. Kaminsky said in a late-July post that 52% of servers are vulnerable to cache poisoning but the numbers were reducing after people starting taking preventive measures.



The best way to tackle DNS poisoning is through tools like OpenDNS which reroutes your Internet traffic through its own safe-secure-reliable servers and blocks phishing sites. To secure PC connection across the Internet, make sure your OS is updated to the latest packs / patches and you've got tools like System Mechanic Pro or Norton Internet Security (original version) installed on your PC.
