Talk:Pharming

message: It appears there are now several, entirely different, scams being referred to as "pharming".
The examples of ebay.de, Panix, etc., are social engineering, whereas "pharming" has also been used to describe an attack on the DNS resolution process itself -- http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,66853,00.html .

message: What does "the most vulnerable points of compromise are near the leaves of the internet" mean? This is a little unclear.

message: perhaps searching for should lead to a dissambiguation page with links relating to cell based cloning protein production (pharming (genetics)) and the drug abuse one (unsure what that actually is anyway but i have heard of it)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.229.90 (talk) 15:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy over the term 

message: It appear that Philips routers are especially vulnerable because they accept cgi commands without a password. For the time being, this is original research (I don't own a Philops router), my source is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371598 but it appears to me to be a very serious security threat.  Andreas  (T) 17:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Philips routers can be manipulated even when the password has been changed 

message: This section is incorrect, it describes using nslookup to do the lookup, but nslookup does not support reverse lookups in the way described... it is used to find a resolved address for a domain name.
To find the domain name for an ip address use a reverse lookup tool such as the one found here: http://www.zoneedit.com/lookup.html
To find out who owns an IP address use whois from www.arin.net.

message: Should the two orphaned items in the reference section ("Security: Phishing and Pharming" and "How Can We Stop Phishing and Pharming Scams?") be moved to External Links?  They do not appear to be referenced in the article. --Jdaskew (talk) 02:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
