Hey, I'm the guy that wrote the talk and you're right - Iodone is similar in some ways. Some quick background - I wrote the original version of dnscat a few years ago, and AFAIK Iodine was made at the same time. dnscat was designed to be an all-purpose DNS relay. dnscat2 was re-written from scratch with one thing in mind - pentesting. It's NOT a general purpose DNS tunnel, and I've actively avoided adding features that would make it that way. It's for offensive security, plain and simple. I realize I didn't call that out very well in the slides, and I should have. Next time! :)
