Dan Kaminsky Suggests Having Fun with DNS

Posted by timothy on from the bits-is dept.

boogahsmalls writes "A few weekends ago Dan Kaminsky of scanrand fame presented some pretty cool ideas involving DNS that made plenty of heads spin at the LayerOne Technology Conference. Some of his concepts included Voice over DNS and storing Knoppix in a DNS cache. He's also apparently got a couple new tools in the pipe including a scanrand based DNS scanner and a visualization suite. Could another version of Paketto Keiretsu be in the works?" (OpenOffice.org does a great job of opening the PowerPoint slideshow.)

    You used to be able to play a text adventure game with DNS:
    ]$ nslookup - hastur.rlyeh.net
    > set querytype=txt
    > set domain=adventure
    > 1
    Alas, hastur has been down since around 1998, but you can still live the magic if you believe in yourself!
