I am working for a company which is doing infrastructure operations and IT consulting jobs in Germany, Europe.
My sphere of activities includes virtualization topics, IP networking, storage, server operations, monitoring, backups and network security. I was awarded the Microsoft MVP title for Windows Networking for several years in the past, although my public activity on Microsoft-specific topics has declined seriously due to lack of time so it is not likely to happen again that soon.
If you need to get in touch, just mail the company: office@syneticon.net
If you are wondering about the avatar bunny, Ubisoft supplies a lot more to look at and wonder about.

Would it be possible to overload a large part of the internet, and if so then how? The troublesome fact is that you would not need all that much. The DNS amplification attack performed has an excellent yield ratio of 50x or more, so with just a 100 Mbps upstream (which is a thing a single $5/month VPS would give you) you could induce 5 Gbps of traffic on the net directed to your victim(s).

What file formats are known to be unsafe? The polyglot aspect is interesting, especially when considering the fact that Windows APIs would guess file types. Nontheless, the very definition of "dangerous" is problematic in regard to computer security - without having constructed an attack tree with possible threats for a particular system (or at least having a vague idea of how it might look like) there is no spoon. |

How will users know if their session is DNSSec protected or not? The power belongs to the authorities since they are, well authorities. Where else should it be? Aside from that, a true killer application for DNSSEC, much more than server certificates, would be mail certificates. But the very idea of storage of certificates external to DNS within DNS zones is heavily opposed by the responsible IETF workgroup due to the fact that "DNS should not be cluttered by stuff that can be done outside of DNS". |
