Title: What is Wrong With the DNS?
Presenter: Duane Wessels

The DNS is a funny thing: hugely successful by most metrics, critical to the network's operation, yet it has quite a few problems as well. Some problems are serious, and some are mere annoyances. In this talk I'll go over the set of currently known problems with the DNS.

The topics for the talk include:

• Lame Delegations
• Open Resolvers
• Non-Existence of Non-Terminals
• Root Server Pollution
• Lack of Network Diversity
• Man-In-The Middle Attacks
• Cache Poisoning
• Multiple Roots/Namespaces
• Typo Squatters
• Trademark Disputes
• TTL Tradeoffs
• RFC1918
• Exploitable Bugs in popular implementations
• The TXT Record
• IPv6 means extra queries
• NXDOMAIN for AAAA when name exists
• Resolver Domain Appending
• Application Domain Appending
• TLD Wildcards
• Missing SOA
• Domain Hijacking
• Complicated Nameserver Dependencies

Title: The Brazilian Honeypots Alliance
Presenter: Marcelo Chaves

Abstract: The "Brazilian Honeypots Alliance -- Distributed Honeypots Project", in operation since 2003, aims to increase the capacity of incident detection, event correlation and trend analysis in the Brazilian Internet space. The data gathered in this network of low-interaction honeypots is collected, processed and used for early warning and incident response by CERT.br. This presentation briefly describes how the honeypots are deployed and how the data is collected.  It will also present some statistics obtained from the collected data and how this data is being used for notifying potentially compromised or infected networks.

Title: 32-bit ASNs
Presenter: Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE NCC)

Abstract: This is a talk on the deployment of 4-byte (32-bit) Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). This talk will consist of two parts:

• A brief summary of policy proposal 2005-12 and the consequences it has when applying for an ASN.
• An overview of changes we have to make at the RIPE NCC in order to be able to handle 32-bit ASNs. This includes changes to our general infrastructure, documentation and supporting systems. The talk will give operators an idea of the work involved and, hopefully, trigger thought about how to approach this now, rather than wait until January 2009 when requests for an ASN will return a 32-bit number.
