Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted.
Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic

What I have appreciated about DarkReading is that the format of the site and articles is such that anyone, security professional or enhtusiast, or novice from another discipline, can quickly find information they are looking for, read and absorb it with takeaway that is of use. Though a reader of many other security ezines and exploit DB sites, I frequent DarkReading which manages to maintain a professional presence while still delivering content through BlackHat of interest to the underground. DR stands apart from the rest.
Additionally, the regular presence of industry experts and known players in the article bylines say something about the quality of the pieces, and about this DarkReading community that has formed over almost a decade of evolution. The tie-in to BlackHat and the enthusiasm of that community also has provided me personally with an outlet for expressing ideas and also given me inspiration to try new things in my personal projects that I would never have considered.
Kudos, DarkReading! Here's to 10 years and decades more of documenting, teaching and hopefully evolving the information security industry.
