Hunter CIS608 Blog Summary


Clearly, the bulk of my postings have been DNS related.  It is what I do and what I am most familiar with since I deal with it daily.  Except for the two-week break from DNS that is.

The entry about IT risk management is another area I am very familiar with, since that is part of my daily job as well.

The Russian network surveillance system was just an interesting article I came across, and thought it might be a nice break from DNS...

I hope this blog may be of some use to someone out there on the 'Net.  The references I have cited along the way are truly the best sources of DNS information I have come across and have provided very valuable reference to me on the job.  This was especially helpful when it came time to tackle DNSSEC--a major undertaking to say the least!

BTW, lessons learned when running DNSSEC, when re-signing your zone don't forget to update the serial number first, and don't forget to restart the server or it will not use the newly re-signed zone!  I've caught myself a couple of times wondering why my dnskey dates hadn't changed after re-signing.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog--it certainly proved to be less painful than I anticipated when I started.  Can't promise it'll keep going...

For future student bloggers, pick a topic you either like or are familiar with--it makes it easier to post weekly updates that way.

Cheers!
