Abstract. DNS cache poisoning is a serious threat to today’s Internet. We de- velop a formal model of the semantics of DNS caches, including the bailiwick rule and trust-level logic, and use it to systematically investigate different types of cache poisoning and to generate templates for attack payloads.
