  • To the Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: We, The
    To the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: We, the undersigned, have played various parts in building a network called the Internet. We wrote and debugged the software; we defined the standards and protocols that talk over that network. Many of us invented parts of it. We're just a little proud of the social and economic benefits that our project, the Internet, has brought with it. We are writing to oppose the Committee's proposed new Internet censorship and copyright bill. If enacted, this legislation will risk fragmenting the Internet's global domain name system (DNS ), create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure. In exchange for this, the bill will introduce censorship that will simultaneously be circumvented by deliberate infringers while hampering innocent parties' ability to communicate. All censorship schemes impact speech beyond the category they were intended to restrict, but this bill will be particularly egregious in that regard because it causes entire domains to vanish from the Web, not just infringing pages or files. Worse, an incredible range of useful, law-abiding sites can be blacklisted under this bill. These problems will be enough to ensure that alternative name-lookup infrastructures will come into widespread use, outside the control of US service providers but easily used by American citizens. Errors and divergences will appear between these new services and the current global DNS, and contradictory addresses will confuse browsers and frustrate the people using them.

  • Powerdns Offerings ­ Version Current As of November 2012 ● Remotely Pollable Statistics for Real Time Graphing ● High Performance ● SNMP Statistics Bridge (Read Only)
    Products, Features & Services PowerDNS PowerDNS, founded in the late 1990s, is a premier supplier of DNS software, services and support. Deployed throughout the world with some of the most demanding users of DNS, we pride ourselves on quality software and the very best support available. PowerDNS customers include leading telecommunications service providers, large scale integrators, content distribution networks, cable networks / multi service operators and Fortune 500 software companies. In various important markets, like Scandinavia, Germany and The Netherlands, PowerDNS is the number one supplier of nameserver software. PowerDNS is based in The Netherlands, Europe and is privately held. Products Authoritative Server The PowerDNS Authoritative Server is the only solution that enables authoritative DNS service from all major databases, including but not limited to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, LDAP and plain text files. DNS answers can also be fully scripted using a variety of (scripting) languages like for example Lua, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C and C++. Such scripting can be used for dynamic redirection, (spam)filtering or real time intervention. In addition, the PowerDNS Authoritative Server is the leading DNSSEC implementation, hosting the majority of all DNSSEC domains worldwide. The Authoritative Server hosts at least 30% of all domain names in Europe, and around 90% of all DNSSEC domains in Europe. Recursor The PowerDNS Recursor is a high­end, high­performance resolving name server which powers the DNS resolution of at least a hundred million subscribers. Utilizing multiple processors and supporting the same powerful scripting ability of the Authoritative Server, the Recursor delivers top performance while retaining the flexibility modern DNS deployments require.

Parallellt råder begränsad minneskapacitet hos vissa enheter i Internets utkant mot Internet of Things. Studien har tittat närmare på nutida behov av namnuppslagning och har då betraktat hur DNS påverkats av IPv6- adressutbredning, mobila enheter, innehållsleveransnätverk och webbläsarfunktioner. Undersökningen har i två fritt tillgängliga serverprogramvaror för DNS-uppslag sökt efter den optimala hanteringen av cache hos begränsade enheter i, eller på gränsen till, Sakernas Internet. Med hjälp av tillgången till öppen källkod för programmen, Unbound och PowerDNS Recursor, har dess respektive strukturer tolkats för att uppskatta och jämföra minnesbehov. Därefter har en simulering gjorts i en laborativ miljö med fiktiva DNS-data av verklighetstrogen karaktär för att mäta den faktiska förbrukningen av minne på DNS-serverns process. Vid simuleringen undveks att individuellt anpassa programmens inställningar, att blanda in data för DNSSEC, samt att införa minnesbegränsningar i testmiljön. Undersökningen av källkod beräknade att Unbound var mer optimalt för posttyperna A+AAAA medan PowerDNS Recursor var effektivare för posttypen PTR. För båda posttyperna som helhet visade mätningarna i simuleringen att Unbound kunde lagra DNS-data tätare än PowerDNS Recursor.

  • Empirical Testing of the Cysemol Tool for Cyber Security Assessment – Case Study of Linux Server and Mysql
    DEGREE PROJECT IN NETWORK SERVICES AND SYSTEMS 120 CREDITS, SECOND CYCLE STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Empirical Testing of the CySeMoL Tool for Cyber Security Assessment – Case Study of Linux Server and MySQL TALVIA RABBANI KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Acknowledgements This report is a Master Thesis that was started in February 2014. It has been done at the Department of Industrial Information and Control System (ICS) at the Royal Institute of Technology. I would like to give a special and sincere thanks to my supervisor, professor Pontus Johnson at the Department of ICS, Royal Institute of Technology for his time, support, patience and guidance. And to my family for all love and support – Thank you. Talvia Rabbani November 2015 Abstract In this Master Thesis, several common applications used with MySQL and Linux server are modelled using the Enterprise Architecture Analysis Tool (EAAT) and the Cyber Security Modelling Language (CySeMoL), both developed by the Department of Industrial Information and Control System (ICS) at KTH. The objective of this study is to use the CySeMoL tool to evaluate the feasibility and correctness of the tool by simulating some particular type of attacks on a real life Linux server. A few common applications with MySQL on a Linux server and two Linux operating system services are modelled and explained together with their detailed information and defense mechanisms. A real life penetration test has then been carried out in order to validate the simulated results from the tool. The results of the analysis suggest that the security vulnerability predictions done by CySeMoL on a Linux server has good predictive performance.
