Cool
Nate, nice post and analysis!

Wasn't the replacing the ns.victim.com cache entry part of the Halvar Flake speculation? I thought first part of the exploit was to have a not fully working PoC on purpose happy

Still, now it's ~32 bits of combinations to guess, so according to Birthday Attacks it would take 77k packets to reach 50% probability and something about 150k to get a closer to 100% chance. DNS needs to get sorted to use TCP for server to server, or use IPSec AH (much better.)

Some friends are upset all this will help evil Verisign to push DNSSec and keep expanding their monopoly on certificates.
