DNS Poisoning or DNS Cache Poisoning

Domain Name System (DNS) poisoning, also known as DNS cache poisoning or DNS attack, is the corruption of a domain name system table by replacing an Internet address with that of another, rogue address. When a Web user seeks the page with that address, the request is redirected by the rogue entry in the table to a different address.
