All DNS-related subjects and suggestions for discussion topics are welcome.
Based on the feedback from the previous workshop, the DNS-OARC audience is interested to see more content related to DNS operations. Therefore we are particularly interested in submissions from DNS Operators about attack mitigation and any major (public or non-public) DNS outages that your organization might have faced over the last year or so, the steps taken to resolve/mitigate the immediate issue, and to prevent future such events and any lessons learned. …

DNS-OARC seeks to improve the security, stability and understanding of the Internet’s DNS infrastructure. This has resulted in a diverse, motivated and highly collaborative community, which has been able to work together cohesively on pertinent issues facing the DNS, the worth of which has been highlighted in recent years against the backdrop of the growing number of malicious incidents directed towards the DNS.

This project was aimed at greatly improving the quality and testing of DNS-OARC’s software and tools, by using code coverage and code analysis, and was funded by The Swedish Internet Foundation.
SUCCESS!
The project was wrapped up in September after over 200 hours were spent working on it and we now have good tools and visuals in place to keep track of our code quality. For code analysis we use scan-build, part of Clang, lgtm.com and sonarcloud.io, and for code coverage we use GNU GCC’s coverage (gcov) and Python coverage. Both of the code coverage tools integrated nicely with SonarCloud for reports and visuals. …

Here are some DNS-OARC development highlights from the past couple of months. These updates are usually bi-monthly and previous ones are available on our Medium blog.
DSC has seen three releases since the last development update, latest being v2.11.0.
Some of the highlights of the new release are new configuration options to dnstap_unixsock
to control ownership and permissions for the DNSTAP socket file, and an updated built-in known TLDs table. We also added a new configuration option knowntlds_file
to load the data from a file, instead of using the built in table.
Please see the release notes for each version to see all the changes. …
