Question

What advantages can be achieved by the attacks using this type of cyber-attacks (DNS poisoning)? Explain.

Answer 1

DNS poisoning is used to exploit the weakness and vulnerabilities in DNS and divert the direction of the traffic away from the actual server. The traffic is directed towards fake servers.

These types of attacks are used to find the weakness in the server before the malicious attackers find it. This attack is so dangerous that it can spread from one server to another. By identifying the vulnerabilities of the DNS one can manage it securely. It can be done by consulting protection vendors, and configuring its security settings.
