Abstract
A method for detecting name resolution spoofing is described. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying a request to resolve a host name, identifying a hostname specified in a response to the request, identifying an actual hostname associated with the response, analyzing the hostname specified in relation to the actual hostname, and performing a security action based at least in part on the analysis.
