BIND Strikes Back Against VeriSign's Site Finder
BrunoC writes "Following the story about VeriSign's new Site Finder, the Internet Software Consortium promises to release a patch to its (in)famous BIND that will block the controversial Site Finder. Wired News has full coverage of the ISC initiative against this name resolving atrocity."
"VeriSign did not respond requests for comment."
Isn't that what caused the problem in the first place?
Thanks, I'll be here all week!
At least they could have directed us to some decent pr0n instead.
Not if they make it in a configurable way to let you choose what IP Verisign is redirecting to. Then again, Verisign is a bunch of Dope Smoking Pedophiles, as referenced by this Internet Web site they have registered. Let's not forget they're also a bunch of Clueless DNS whores. Oh yes, and I heard Verisign supports terrorists at this page: here...
Verisign needs to be shut down for these un-American and clearly criminal web sites. Someone notify John Ashcroft, quickly!
Sure, it sounds like another tin-foil hat theory, but can anyone come up with another explaination which makes more sense for the "Lemming Look" of companies searching for the biggest cliff to jump off? (Yeah, I know, lemming suicides are a Disney myth. Too bad SCO and Verisign aren't.)
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
Don't you mean a M.A.C.? :^P
I for one welcome our new DNS overlords! All our domain name are belong to THEM! Mwuhahahaha...
Please help metamoderate.
Exactly. The correct term for this is Sldahost efcfet
Good point, they *do* already have your money. Stay with Verisign (until your registration expires), but make a lot of support calls. (After all, you've paid for their sterling support.) Especially about this wildcard thing. I'm already forgetting exactly what it is, maybe you are, too. I'm sure they'd be happy to explain it to you, and why it's not bad. And if you forget again after a month or two, they'll be happy to discuss it with you again. And any other questions you might have, like how to set up a mail server alias thingy.
John.
this is just a trick. They just want to get rid of all those obsolete BIND-versions out in the internet.
So they did this to goat all admins into patching their bind.
Tricky they are...

And not to be outdone by Verisign, Google has added a default route to the global BGP table which brings any formerly unroutable web traffic to their search engine.
NOT!
Moderating "-1, Disagree" is simple censorship. Have the guts to post your opinion.
It would be more like covering up a "Dead End" sign with an advertisement to turn left for a burger joint.

VeriSign actively monitors all traffic associated with Site Finder, including DNS queries matching the wildcard entries in

Your head of state is a corrupt weasel, I hope you're happy.
Yep. Fat Fingers Strike again. To my defense, damn pager kept going off last night. To quote my wife "Hon, you really need a job that doesn't wake you @ 4am". :)
To E-mail me, replace the first period in my domain with an @
Interesting that it rejects the first recipient, but accepts the second, then bomb on the DATA stage.
You are thinking too complex for verisign standards
You'll forgive me if I don't exactly hang my head in shame.
Cheers,
