while we may not like them, IATW.info has done something rather clever, but that I think will get them in alot of trouble.
You may notice that going to the iatw.info website yeilds...nothing!
a closer inspection reveals something more sinister -- its redirected at a DNS level -- and not just DNS
IATW.info has changed every aspect of their site to redirect to their enemy.
they have a fake nameserver listing pointing to the webserver that their rivals are on
their domain redirects to that ip address as well.
This is a prime example of the fun that can be had with DNS attacking shared servers -- right now that ip is down along with all the sites hosted on that box and I think that their providers nameservers are groaning under the stress a bit as well.
