Someone recently boasted about adware which can inject ads from most networks, and using dnsDNS spoofing would make the providers think that the ads were on a website owned by me (i.e. www.myscamsite.comwww.myscamsite.com), while the ads are actually on a normal website (i.e. www.stackoverflow.comwww.stackoverflow.com). This sounds dubious to me, because most websites these days use httpsHTTPS to prevent dnsDNS spoofing.

My questions:

  • Could this method work on httpHTTP sites?
  • Could this method work on httpsHTTPS sites (somehow?)

I know the ISP's did it to routers years ago, but that was before httpsHTTPS. Anyways, thanks for your help, and have a good day!
