The math for the rapid poisoning in DJBDNS is contained in 
<http://www.your.org/dnscache/djbdns.pdf> -- the general 
attack/vulnerability is probably best documented in 
<http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/457875> -- that contains many references. 
Kaminsky's technique seems to be very well described by 
<http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/iguide-kaminsky-dns-vuln.html>

Dan Kaminsky's blog at doxpara.com is apparently down right now so I can't 
dig up/verify any links to his site but all but the (older US CERT VU# 
457875) link to his site.  Kaminsky, discovered a new, quicker way of 
running the birthday attack.

<http://www.your.org/dnscache/> contains other information from Day.
