Shooting the Messenger
- IT TOPICS:Security
You can almost hear the exhaustion in Dan Kaminsky's comments, recorded in this great article on his presentation at BlackHat.
The article points out the many dependencies that modern computing has on DNS. As I've explained before to others, those who control the network flow will control the information therein. But what I find most engaging in the article is the description of all the challenges put on Dan. Lots of phonecalls. Snippy comments.
But he'd do it again. Here's hoping others with knowledge of deep flaws in fundamental technologies are treated better. Here's also hoping that others stay as dedicated to fixing security problems, despite the lousy treatment given to Kaminsky.
