Just to address this one aspect of the thread, there was a recent case in North Dakota, US which was presumed to have determined that a DNS zone transfer constituted hacking [1]. This wasn't the whole complaint or reason for the ruling, but that is the part that media and places like Slashdot picked up and highlighted. I know precedence is important in US law, but I'm not sure this would stand up upon further scrutiny. Nonetheless, the real point is to limit zone transfers. [1] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/17/anti_spam_activist_lawsuit/ <- snip -> I never heard of laws that forbids you to get DNS content from a server. Maybe I am late with the news, but as long as it is only an information disclosure it shouldnt be less legal than a port scan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
