Description
Hardware memory may suffer bit flips. Previous research has shown that if a bit flip happens in the right place, host names may be be contorted, enabling MITM attacks. This study looks at consequences of bit flips occurring for root-servers.net, such as hijacking resolver priming queries. After introducing the experimental setup, selected instances of observed resolution cascades will be inspected. The audience is invited to discuss the findings and consider any implications.
