Crunch Time on DNS (CERT #800113)

I don’t know if you know, but the shit is going to hit the fan on August 7th. DNS is vulnerable to another cache poisoning attack and in the spirit of full disclosure Dan Kaminsky will be explaining the fundamental flaw in the DNS protocol itself on the 7th. Before that time every DNS should be patched, even yours

I know I have a caching DNS server in my ADSL modem, and the chance is quite high that you do too. Now is the time to update your modem, get the extra features. Contact your vendor or ISP and get the patch, don’t trust that nothing will happen to you, it will! This is very important.
