WARNING: This is a RED FLAG
While it's important that you as a Linux Professional understand these exploits, running this program against real live DNS servers that you DO NOT ADMINISTER outside of a TEST LAB will certainly garner you NSA monitoring ("Meet the Fed") status, and/or the honor of free classified "PenPal" ads from JAIL in the back page of the 2600 Magazine.
