crp Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 What the FBI Internet DNS Shutdown Means to You --> http://compnetworking.about.com/b/2012/02/...#comment-155311 What annoys me even more than the FBI supposedly knowing how to deal with this issue, is the person asking what does 'DNS' mean when there is a link right there of "Introduction to Domain Name System (DNS)" We still haven't moved that far off from "I can't find the any key" The schools systems still suck air.

Guest LilBambi Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Using a trusted DNS server like OpenDNS is a good start even for those who don't understand what's going on with DNS, DNSChanger, etc. The Youtube video playlist above points to a four part video: Summary: OpenDNS provides industry-leading malware protection that's delivered through the DNS layer. Unlike more traditional malware blocking services, our innovative approach actually blocks known malicious or infected sites from resolving on your network, preventing them from causing your network — and your school, company or organization — any damage. Attend this 30-minute webinar and learn why you can't afford to leave your DNS unprotected from malware. Speakers include DNS security expert and Sales Engineer Brian Hartvigsen.

securitybreach Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sorry to be the party-pooper, but what does this have to do with Linux? I know as Linux users, we are not supposed to be vulnerable to this type of attack so how does this affect us penguins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Definitely a good topic, but likely better in The Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe. Will move it there and leave a link here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wait! Wait! It was appropriate for BATL. It's about Linux security... and MS Windows lack thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
