You can’t count me as objective on this, Dan Kaminsky is one of my hacker heroes. He died on April 23, 2021, not very long before the recording of this episode. I was always impressed by the clarity of his work and how easily I understood it and still marveled at it. In this episode we bring you through the maturing of DNS for the modern Internet and talk through Dan’s infamous 2008 vulnerability finding. This also led to the rise of DNSSEC, for which Dan was one of the original key holders.
