DNS changes

I thought this was interesting. There seems to be more that can be done with DNS.

This is why your DNS queries now have random capitalization

It’s not Google's plan. There’s no way it’s Google's plan. It was Google's plan

Very interesting. I’m sure nobody who is interested in cache poisoning will notice the big@$$ article they just wrote about it.

That is interesting - thanks for sharing...

It's been known as theory, but looks like Google has reduced this to practice...

Great for longer domain names. aa.com will still be easy to poison

Domain names are not case sensitive. And you would never notice any of this randomization as an end-user, It's strictly in the exchange between the recursive resolver and the authoritative server.

You didn't see the more interesting thing, in Cuba, geeks use DNS as a proxy tunnel, a completely decentralized proxy tunnel to bypass the carrier's high internet fees. (They don't charge for DNS traffic).

The client and server never establish a direct connection. It is crazy to communicate with each other only through DNS queries for second-level domain names.
