Which specific type of attack occurs when a perpetrator redirects traffic by changing the IP record for a specific domain in order to be able to send legitimate traffic anywhere he chooses?
DNS Poisoning. DNS poisoning enables a perpetrator to redirect traffic by changing the IP record for a specific domain, thus permitting the attacker to send legitimate traffic anywhere he chooses. DNS poisoning may also be referred to as DNS cache poisoning because it affects the information that is cached.
How to redirect traffic to a fake site?
This is an experimental demonstration of two ways a malicious attacker might redirect traffic for a website to its own “fake” version of the site. Both methods involve DNS spoofing. In one version, the attacker will masquerade as the legitimate DHCP server for the LAN and instruct clients to use the attacker for name resolution.
What is a DNS hijacking / redirection attack?

What can I do to avoid DNS redirection?
Site owners who use a Domain Name Registrar can take steps to avoid DNS redirection of their DNS records: Secure access — use two-factor authentication when accessing the DNS registrar, to avoid compromise. If possible, define a whitelist of IP addresses that are allowed to access DNS settings.
Can a DNS spoofing attack be carried out without a LAN?
DNS spoofing is easiest when both the attacker and victim are on the same LAN. However, there are other (less reliable) DNS attacks that can feasibly be carried out even without access to the victim’s LAN. Here is an example of a normal DNS lookup which returns a correct address for the Bank of Hamilton website from the “good” server on the LAN:
