Re: Collecting PTR names or IP addresses (Was: Re: IRC Bot list (cross posting))

PTR records are just as pointless as A records... in a secured DNS heirarchy, this is less of an issue

We are not quite there yet, are we?

since you have to spoof the entire delegation chain. so either trust the DNS (both forward and reverse) or not. For forensics, collect the DNS lables and the IP addresses associated w/ them.

and yes, i have seen DNS spoofing in the wild, both A and PTR, although A spoofing is much more pronounced.

Question is, why bother and spoof?
