Dan Kaminsky: Upgrade Your DNS Now!Dan Kaminsky is a well-known and respected security researcher, particularly
famous for his work with DNS -- the fundamental naming technology which
powers the Internet. When he announced a protocol-level flaw in DNS
affecting almost every available implementation, vendors and other security
researchers paid attention.
Now it's time for administrators and users to pay attention. On August 7, the
Internet might get much more dangerous. Patches are available to ameliorate
the problem. In
this video, recorded at Foo Camp 2008, Dan explains how he
discovered the flaw and what you need to do to keep your users and their data
safe.
