Kaminsky on DNS rebinding attacks, hacking techniques

Michael S. Mimoso, Editor, Information Security magazine

Noted network security researcher Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing at IOActive, dives into his latest work around DNS rebinding attacks and what enterprises can do to protect their resources from these Web-based attacks. Kaminsky also covers some of his research on the spoofing of SSL VPN certificates and other emerging threats. Kaminsky is a frequent speaker at industry conferences. He is probably best known for his Black Ops talks at the annual Black Hat Briefings. Kaminsky, formerly with Cisco and Avaya, is also an advocate for Net Neutrality.
