People might get scared :) It is good that attention is given to the risks of badly secured DNS servers, but scaring the public like this...
Indeed. Though personally speaking, I don't accept Sirer's methodolody let alone his concluions about "vulnerabilities" or badly secured name servers. Which doesn't for a moment mean the DNS has no vulnerablities or badly secured servers. These do of course exist. Just not in the way Emil Gun Sirer has suggested.
I completely agree. I already mentioned it to some people at RIPE-52, but I forgot to mention it here. It's also on slashdot: [Perils of DNS at RIPE-52] http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/26/1247240 - Sander
