- JdeBP 11y agoThere are a few interesting points in this discussion that all of the C/Rust/C++/ObjectiveC/Go/Java discussion has swamped. For those who would like to find the discussion that is not argument about computer programming languages: * Is Google Public DNS a potential mitigator? Sub-thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11113113 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11113113 . * Is Google Public DNS a potential exploit vector? Sub-thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11111300 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11111300 . * Are there any BIND settings that are potential mitigators? Sub-thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11110646 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11110646 . * What happens if one's DNS proxy server doesn't itself support sending >2048 byte answer messages to the BIND DNS client library in the first place?
