Yup, that's him.
IIRC, he exploited Bind's failure to check input in certain cases:
He set his DNS server to be the delegating authority for .com,
say; then sent a recursive query to his victim's DNS server to get
the victim to query _his_ server; his server mixed the bogus info
into its response to the query, thus poisoning the victim's DNS.
Cypherpunks write code.
Crackerpunks read code.
