Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The October 2008 Issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine has an nicely phrased piece title “Fresh Phish” by David Schneider describing the potential of the DNS spoofing bug Discovered by Kaminsky.

Also worth noting is the focus on Steampunk [1] [2] [3] including a reference to Steampunk band Abney Park

A poetic approach to Dan’s (And Halvar’s) DNS debacle

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

With the ongoing smoldering relating to the cross platform cross-vendor flaw in DNS as reported by Dan Kaminsky, Christofer Hoff has put a summary of  the situation together, but as a poem.

Its also worth noting that Halvar Flake has stepped up and stated that hes found the bug as well ( so I assume He will be sharing the stage with Dan at Defcon)
