Mitigating DDoS attacks using BGP configurations
In today’s interconnected world, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a growing threat to the stability and availability of online services. These attacks aim to overwhelm network resources, rendering services inaccessible to legitimate users. One of the most effective strategies to mitigate such attacks involves leveraging Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configurations. In this blog, […]
The Impact of Quantum Cryptography on DNSSEC and the Way Forward with Post-Quantum Cryptography
The advent of quantum computing poses significant challenges to traditional cryptographic systems, including DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC is a suite of extensions to DNS that adds security by enabling DNS responses to be authenticated. However, the cryptographic algorithms that underpin DNSSEC are vulnerable to the computational power of quantum computers. In this blog, we […]

Diagnosing IPv6 in Nanoseconds: RFC 8250
As modern networks scale, the boundary between application performance and network behavior grows blurry. Network performance issues are notoriously hard to pinpoint. A web page loads slowly, but is it the DNS resolution, the server, the network? Often, the tools used to answer these questions are built on guesswork and indirect probes. RFC 8250, however, […]
DNS Key Trap
The DNS Key Trap According to the National Vulnerability Database Certain aspects of DNSSEC in the DNS protocol, outlined in RFCs 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related documents, enable remote attackers to initiate a denial of service (CPU consumption) through multiple DNSSEC responses, known as the “KeyTrap” issue. One significant concern is that when a […]
Implementing DNS Resolver Security
Introduction DNS resolvers are the backbone of internet connectivity, converting human-readable domain names into IP addresses. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs), ensuring the security of their DNS resolvers is crucial to maintaining the trust and safety of their users. This blog explores the importance of DNS resolver security for ISPs, common threats, and best practices […]
