High Severity BIND Vulnerability Advisory Issued
- zdw 16y agoThere's a reason I use DJB's tools (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html)... I'm glad they keep sending these friendly reminders periodically.
- ChuckMcM 16y agoI like djb's tools, but dns isn't one of them. The whole "can't have names with dots in them" thing is painful. (see rbldns as the canonical example) Having created a nominally secure name service in the past, I feel like I have at least a reasonable understanding of what it takes to build one. That being said, its unfortunate that IETF got 'standardized' before they could successfully pull off a secure naming infrastructure (ISC's efforts not withstanding).
