Dan Kaminsky Suggests Having Fun with DNS
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.)
We nerds sure are playful, ain't we? Voice over DNS... sounds like a recipe for disaster, or dollars.
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
