Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota

Posted by samzenpus on from the that's-a-paddling dept.

jgreco writes "A judge in North Dakota has just ruled that requesting a zone transfer from a public DNS server is criminal activity within the meaning of the North Dakota Computer Crimes Law. A zone transfer is a simple request that a DNS server hand over information in bulk, and a DNS server may be configured to allow or deny such requests. That the owner of a DNS server would configure the server to allow such requests, and then claim such requests were unauthorized, is simply stunning."

  1. Is the Judge living in the New Lakota Nation? by myspace-cn · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Our government is completely fucking out of control in the United States.

    I wonder if that judge is living inside the new Lakota Nation?
    If so his bullshit fucking (fuck the common sense) laws no longer apply.
