Johannes Ullrich, Dean of Research, SANS Technology Institute



DESCRIPTION

===================



We all know the Internet and the "Web" are synonyms as the only protocol you will ever use is HTTP. Wrong! There is a 
second protocol that is simple and, unlike HTTP, "just works": DNS. But as they say, quiet waters run deep. In this 
talk, you will learn what is changing about DNS. How DNSSEC, a very effective but much too complex (for the average 
sysadmin) protocol is being replaced by simpler "DNS Cookies," and how even DNS all of a sudden starts to care about 
this privacy thing that you heard people talk about in the news. And yes, you will learn how to finally run DNS over 
HTTP to finally obsolete the last remaining reason for port-based firewalls. We will have fun and excitement with one 
of the most boring protocols on the internet - and you will never believe what happens on slide 23!
