People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!

DNS (Domain Name System) is essentially a look up for a domain name to the actual IP address of the server that is trying to be connected to.

By a DNS server sending a wrong IP for a domain, it misleads the user into visiting a site that is not actually the right site!

Most malware will change the DNS server configurations on a computer to a malicious one. But why though? That is the interesting part of the article!

This has been used for people going to a bank to submit credentials. However, most malware just wants to make money from ads... So, the DNS server returns wrong IPs from ads on websites, then insert their own adds. SO interesting!
