Curiosity
by Nick on Aug.21, 2009, under Security
People are so curious nowadays… Today I’ve received one NMAP ping from Colorado State (I’m guessing since I recently downloaded NMAP) and one “Version” query from ISC.org. Or at least, I think I have. Oh well, no harm done.
DNS and you!

Say what you want about Kaminsky. I mean, the man is crazy. However, being on call when your employer, a regional ISP, reboots both the primary and secondary DNS servers, makes you appreciate how important DNS is in the grand scheme of internet things. Granted, his attack is fairly novel, but yeah… I’m glad ISC makes updating BIND nice and easy.
DNSSEC

So, I discovered that .org is signed. Unfortunately, I discovered this the hard way. I think there’s a DNSSEC bug in the version of BIND that I’m running. So time to update world on Calypso. Wee!
*UPDATE*
I upgraded to BIND 9.6.0 and all appears to be well.
I followed these instructions: http://closedsrc.org/_static/dn-articles/bind9.html
and overwrote the base install. I like to live dangerously…after testing it on one or two test machines. 
On Jabber?
