It does not. DNS attacks happen. It won't be used by APT on you or me, but may be used as an escalation mechanism in a company, for example. It's also something a hacked router could do, but I never heard of it happening, to be fair.
I was actually personally a victim of such (unsuccessful) attack in the tor network. SSH login to my hidden service complained about a wrong fingerprint. The same happened when I tried again. After tor restart, problem disappeared. I assume this was an attempt at SSH mitm by one of exit nodes?
- kragen 1y agoThat's possible. I've also had this happen with Wi-Fi captive portals; I assume redirecting all the port 22 traffic to port 22 on the router was an unintentional side effect of redirecting all the port 80 traffic to port 80 on the router.
