Vixie's ISC (root server F operator) is currently being funded by Rick Adams (uunet founder)
It turns out the Vint Cerf (widely recognized as father of the internet, along with others) has been connected to Vixie through Adams. Cerf is also connected to the SEX.COM thief Stephen Cohen, as a childhood friend. Cerf apparently also induced Ray Plzak to assist Cohen's flight from justice. Plzak formerly worked with Cerf in the early days of the internet. Plzak was CEO of ARIN and used ARIN funds to resist court orders to transfer number resources belonging to Cohen in the SEX.COM case. ARIN transfered Cohen's resources to LACNIC, where they were no longer under US Court jurisidiction, even though ARIN remained in control of LACNIC, and could have transfered the resources back if the transfer was in error.

DNSSEC Flaws Confirmed -- Avoid DNSSEC validation by deananderson · 2010-02-24 09:57 · Score: 1 · on Comcast Launches First Public US Trial of DNSSEC

DNSSEC Cache Poisoning has been confirmed just as I described. Note that many people are now advising to turn off DNSSEC validation.

Most officially, I discussed it in my DNSSEC NTIA comments:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dns/comments/comment027.pdf
in the section on Cache Poisoning. Notably, Vixie et al disputed
this when discussed on DNSOP and namedroppers. Guess they were wrong
again.

[*] See DNSSEC cache poisoning links contained in
http://lists.iadl.org/pipermail/namedroppers-honest/2010-January/000074.html
The IETF has known of these problems for a long time, and silenced me
to keep these problems quiet.

Vixie and the IETF have known about the DNSSEC Cache Poisoning problem
and other DNSSEC problems for a number of years, but they have covered
it up by threatening and silencing critics. Inquiry reveals that DNSSEC
is a scam that threatens the stability of the Internet.

Please be sure to credit me with discovering the DNSSEC flaws. And
please forward this message widely.

Kaminsky/Vixie DNS Scam Known as Media Hack by deananderson · 2009-06-25 09:37 · Score: 1 · on Kaminsky On DNS Bugs a Year Later and DNSSEC

I think my comments to the NTIA on DNSSEC hit the point on Kaminsky and the DNS scam. As others pointed out, this is a group of shysters. MIT's "Technology Review" picked up the "Media Hack" aspect of the Story in December. That article is a good read if someone has a link.

Here are my NTIA comments which detail the Kaminsky/Vixie scam aspects and expose problems with DNSSEC:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dns/comments/comment027.pdf

One of the things not detailed in my NTIA comments is that Kaminsky tells people to move to OpenDNS.ORG, run by Vixie associates David Ulevitch and Bill Fumerola. Fumerola is also a friend of Chris Neill. IADL has a page on Neill and his connection to spam-abuse at

On .ORG Signing

While the .ORG TLD was indeed recently signed, I could not get .ORG TLD officials to respond to questions about whether there was regulatory approval for their actions. It is also telling that Vixie is involved with .ORG TLD. The .ORG signing appears to be an effort at "persuasion"--Sort of 'See, we did it'. But as my NTIA comments spell out, there are two serious DDoS attacks created by DNSSEC. While one perhaps might block .ORG servers during an attack, one cannot block the root DNS servers.

SORBS is connected to spammers by deananderson · 2009-06-25 08:42 · Score: 1 · on The Imminent Demise of SORBS

On the "do-not-sell-this-to-spammer" byline,
SORBS, MAPS, and Spamhaus have been connected to a spammer called Whitehat.com, aka Whitehat, Inc. Incorporation documents and Annual reports show that Paul Vixie, John Levine, Rodney Joffe and others are directors of Whitehat. Spamhaus' Registry of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) doesn't list Whitehat. Vixie and Rand (MAPS founders, spammers) provides technical and hosting support to SORBS. SORBS isn't a real spam blacklist, but a revenge list. SORBS is cover for spammers to conduct scanning for abuse, shake down ISPs, and interfere with Whitehat's competitors.

Full Disclosure: I am the official admin for 130.105/16 and 198.3.136/21, which SORBS falsely claims is hijacked. SORBS has made this claim since 2003, and knows it to be false.
