(Apologies in advance for cross-postings) We've created a new mailing list (based on a proposal approved by OARC members), that is nanog-like yet professional, and bugtraq-like, to deal specifically with DNS security issues such as: Attacks Security vulnerabilities Secure configuration The list concerns all these from the sense of operational problems rather than system administrators tech support. DNS is arguably as important as routing protocols, and yet we rarely hear details of the attacks going on. The folks dealing with attacks may be network admins, system admins, or security folks; they deal with the problems themselves and move on. Establishing an open yet professional group can be essential to: 1. Form a community of operators. 2. Locate serious people. 3. Find out about problems. 4. Share information. 5. Alert of issues. 6. Move on to more secure environments and meat-space operations. If interested in subscribing to this open list, the links below will get you there. http://lists.oarci.net/mailman/listinfo/ -b
