The DNS (Domain Name System) is a key service of the Internet. It is a giant, hierarchical and distributed directory that associates IP addresses with domain names that are easier to identify, remember and transmit. It is the cornerstone of the Internet, whose infrastructure has flaws by its very conception, making it an ideal target for attacks.
On one hand, the DNS service is based on the authoritative DNS, which holds the information, and on the other hand, the resolver DNS, which carries out the resolution for the web users.
The DNS cache poisoning attack targets resolver DNS.

Human beings have a very bad memory for number sequences. However, computers and servers communicate with each other by identifying themselves through an IP address, which is a sequence of numbers or a mix of numbers that is very complex to memorize and differentiate.
To help people communicate over networks, the Domain Names System (DNS) was invented. This service is a giant Internet directory, hierarchical and distributed worldwide, which associates domain names with IP addresses.
When a web user enters a domain name in his browser, it queries a DNS server which will look for the answer to this humanly understandable address, most often an IP address, leading to the right website, computer or network. This query process is called “DNS resolution“.
