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.)

    From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, I should point out that there hasn't been a release of djbdns for a little over twelve years. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the product will updated to support SPF+.

    Unfortunately for all the DJB-acolytes, this means that djbdns, as well as being proprietary and insecure, will not have a place on the internet from Jan 1st 2005, the day SPF+ will be activated globally.
