Built-In Security
February 11th, 2008 by Maddog
Larry Dignan posed a very good question as the title of one of his posts:
"Why is security usually an afterthought?" In his post he writes:
Simply put, security would be a lot better if companies gave
just a smidge of forethought to vulnerabilities. Sure there are
a few bright spots -- I thought MySpace's move to put its third
party apps through some security testing before unleashing them
to users was a great idea. But far too often I'm wondering why
security isn't at least thought about a bit before we move on to
the latest and greatest thing.
We've been asking the same question too.

Root Servers Get More IPv6 Addresses
February 5th, 2008 by Maddog
The Internet Assinged Numbers Authority (IANA) has retrofitted some of the
root servers with IPv6 capabilities. This was announced in "IPv6
Addresses for the Root Servers", as follows:
On or about 4 February 2008, for the first time AAAA records
for some of the authoritative name servers for the DNS root
zone will be introduced. These records will provide for access
to the root servers over IPv6 transport, and will be implemented
in both the root zone data, and the root hints file. We are
providing this advanced notification in case unexpected network
events occur that might be related to this change.
