Hacking Tool used against its creator !
Take H D Moore, the creator of Metasploit Framework -- a widely-used open-source tool which hackers and developers alike use to find vulnerabilities in remote servers.
Monday morning, Metasploit.com was temporarily hijacked using an attack on the local area network of Metasploit's hosting provider. Using what is technically known as ARP spoofing, the attacker was able to intercept visitors to Metasploit.com, and instead serve them up a page saying the site had been "hacked by sunwear ! just for fun. Users were then redirected to a Chinese forum with an image of the hack.
