February Meeting

When: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 - 5:30 PM

Topic: DNS Attack Vectors

The DNS is core to how any web property operates. It is unfortunately one of the most overlooked parts of a web site operators infrastructure. This talk is an in-depth view at the potential attacks against the DNS infrastructure with some suggestions for defenses against them. It covers both the authoritative and recursive side of the DNS protocol. We conclude with a brief view at how attackers are now using the DNS to talk to malware C&C and to get data out of the enterprise.
