  • DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available!
    Guest:
    That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

I came across a beta update for my router and it mentioned a hotfix for dnmasq related issues, so I did a quick Google and this turned up.

Dnsmasq Vulnerabilities Threaten DNS Integrity | Cyware Hacker News

Israeli researchers shared details on seven extremely critical DNS-related vulnerabilities, tracked as DNSpooq, exposing millions of devices to a variety of DNS cache poisoning attacks. Learn more!

@Steve, could be a topic for the podcast.

This is a great test of your router vendor. This bug flies under the radar. Does your router vendor fix it? Do they say anything at all about it? My preferred router vendor (Peplink) was asked about it and found the vulnerable software in only one of their models and only in one specific use case. If you have a consumer router from Netgear, Linksys, Asus, TP-Link, D-Link, etc. try to see if they acknowledge this in any way.

I saw that update for my EdgeMax's. But I use BIND and so disabled DNS caching in my router. (I can't find (using a quick DDG search) whether BIND is susceptible to DNSpooq or not. Nor is there anything about pooq that I can find in the BIND 9.17.9 Release Notes.)

I also use BIND in my local network and I didn't realized that Edgerouter X is running another DNS service (dnsmasq) with it's own cache. Now I've disabled it. Thanks.
