- How OpenDNS, PowerDNS and MaraDNS remained unaffected by the DNS cache poisoning vulnerability
- The short answer is being paranoid about tackling a known vulnerability. It's 2001, and Daniel J. Bernstein DJB, author of the then popular djbdns security-aware DNS implementation, is applying basic math principles to raise awareness on what's to turn into the "sky is falling" critical Internet vulnerability in 2008, in...
