General Musing

I missed updates on the CERT #800113 DNS issue. It seams that we didn’t have the 30 days, as Kaminsky requested, but 13 days. As published by Security Focus on July 22nd and 24th in Kerfuffle erupts as DNS flaw described and Metasploit releases double-whammy for DNS.

I asked my own ISP (XS4all) about this issue, and got the response from the Helpdesk on the 25th:

… although the attack is plausible, it is being over hyped. The chance that this attack will take place is small.
