dnsspoof - forge replies to DNS address / pointer queries
Contents
Description
dnsspoof forges replies to arbitrary DNS address / pointer queries on the LAN. This is useful in
bypassing hostname-based access controls, or in implementing a variety of man-in-the-middle attacks.
Files
/usr/share/dsniff/dnsspoof.hosts
Sample hosts file.
