* OpenProjects.NET IRCD DNS Spoofing * OpenProjects.net's ircd has some truly braindead code re DNS lookups and doesn't do a proper double-reverse paranoid lookup. In fact, it is possible to spoof any hostname that actually exists on the internet. Here is how to exploit it. 1. Choose a Hostname to Spoof. It is important to keep in mind that you must choose a hostname that actually exists, for our example, we will use 'gary7.nsa.gov' 2. Point Your Reverse Lookup To The Hostname. For our example, we will put the following in our BIND zonefile: 47.222.42.209.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR gary7.nsa.gov. Where we will assume you are using the same IP I used, 209.42.222.47. 3. Connect To A Vulnerable IRC Server.
