DNS Hijacking by Cox

Sun Jul 22 21:56:13 UTC 2007

It looks like cox is hijacking dns for irc servers.

bash2-2.05b$ nslookup
> server 68.6.16.30
Default server: 68.6.16.30
Address: 68.6.16.30#53
> irc.vel.net
Server:         68.6.16.30
Address:        68.6.16.30#53

Name:   irc.vel.net
Address: 70.168.71.144

> server ns1.vel.net
Default server: ns1.vel.net
Address: 207.182.224.10#53
> irc.vel.net
Server:         ns1.vel.net
Address:        207.182.224.10#53

Name:   irc.vel.net
Address: 64.161.255.2

it looks like they are using it to clean drones, when you connect to
their fake irc server you get forced joined into a channel.

	<Marvin_>	!bot.remove
	<Marvin_>	!remove

isn't there a law against hijacking dns? What can i do to persue this?
