I see Sarah (his niece) has made an appeal for a copy of a video, maybe
somebody in this group might have a copy?
"Right after Black Hat in 2008. We had just debuted our Sarah On DNS
video. If anyone happens to have a copy of that video or can somehow
find it, youtube took it down and I would very much appreciate any help
locating that video"

There are many pages that describe the vulnerability to varying
degrees of depth. The key to it is first poisoning caches for the
authority records of a zone. This lets an attacker then redirect many
records within the zone at their leisure. Here's one write-up about it:

An entertaining, short video of the early stages of his experience
with the vulnerability:

For those who had not met him, he had a generous heart and a quick
wit. I will miss him.
