Re: [DNS] Comcast and the DNS Server flaw issue said by Sandy Wilbourn :
It's been a great service to see these various testers on the Internet. However, different folks have used different implementations at different times and have gotten inconsistent results.
Dan's test is the best one out there, but even Dan has gone through a couple of iterations as we all try to warn people about this DNS vuln.
1. On July 8th, it reported that Comcast servers were protected.
2. A few days later, Dan became concerned with some issues having to do with firewalls and NATs. He changed the test so that Comcast servers received the results from the first message above.
3. Tuesday, he changed his test again to account for the capabilities in the Comcast servers.
I tried the tool tonight on my home Comcast connection, and it showed Comcast's servers as being protected!

Good info Sandy
Hopefully I made it clear in my Topic post that may or may be an issue as things seem to be changing which is exactly what we have seen. I wonder however if Dan will change his test again? lol
Looks like it might be ok to go back to Comcast DNS servers. I just wanted Comcast users to be informed of any possible issues. |
