Blocking SiteFinder Service

Posted by timothy on from the masking-tape-on-monitor dept.

apankrat writes "Given VeriSign's position on wildcard redirection service, it looks like it's time for a simplier and more efficient ways of bringing things back to where they were. For those running BIND there is a patch; for those on the client side - there is a dnsfix for Windows and the usual iptables hackery under Linux. Aware of any other clean and easy ways to block wildcarding ? Post below."

    Err .. blocking is not exactly what BIND patch and dnsfix do. They actually let DNS packets through, but mangle them in transition, which makes it look as if there were no SiteFinder at the backend .. just a regular DNS server, which all my spam filters like so much :)
