    Hey Richard,

    You should search for DNS Cache Poisoning.

    A pretty good document will provide you a lot of information :

    Subject: [Full-Disclosure] DNS Hijack Attacks

    Hello,

    Sorry about this post.

    I've been trying to find information about DNS Hijack attacks for ages. I
    can't seem to find anything about them.

    Am I right in thinking that this attack is where a DNS server is broken into
    and the routing table modified so that a domain name points to a different
    server where the content is controlled by the attacker?

    Could anyone point me in the right direction for more information. I was
    hoping for a whitepaper or something...

    Regards,
        Richard
