Critical flaw rocks the internet

[admin]

Computer industry heavyweights are hustling to fix a flaw in the foundation of the internet that would let hackers control traffic on the World Wide Web.

Major software and hardware makers worked in secret for months to create a software "patch" released on Tuesday to repair the problem, which is in the way computers are routed to web page addresses.

Go to this site, use the DNS checker on the right hand side to see if your DNS is vulnerable:

I get this:

[drfsupercenter]

I'm not getting that error anywhere. Is it just good luck?

My ISP's DNS is affected too. I'm tempted to use opendns.org's system, because it's quite a nice suite of tools to manage your network too. Plus, I just tested their DNS (208.67.222.222) and it's safe!

Your name server, at ***.***.***.***, appears to be safe.

Mine was fine

Guess we're special BR7,lol.

[BR7]

LOL
I guess so

[katzdvd]

Your name server, at 12.34.56.789, appears to be safe.

Good here too, running Linux, guess that doesn't make a difference in this case though, since other windows users on here are safe...

[drfsupercenter]

Are only web servers affected?

My main server I pay a company for... and it's on a UNIX system so it should be safe.
My home server I use Apache for but it doesn't show up on any search engines... and AFAIK Apache is read-only and outside users can't write stuff to my computer.

Your name server, at xx.xxx.xx.xx, appears vulnerable to DNS Cache Poisoning. is what I receive.

EDIT: I'll have to take a look into opendns.org.
