Security and Threats in the DNS.
Venerdì 26 febbraio 2021 dalle ore 15.00 alle ore 17.00
Security and Threats in the DNS.
Description: The DNS is the big unknown. While most people only think of websites and email when they hear about the DNS or about domain names, attackers in general have been learning for years how to exploit the technical protocol, the infrastructure on which the entire system works, and the domain registration services that are used to create and manage domain names. The presentation will cover how the DNS works from the perspectives of the technical resolution of the names, as well as the creation and lifetime of a domain name, to go into details about threats, vulnerabilities, and abuse detection and reporting.
