Dan Kaminsky Blackhat Webcast on the DNS vulnerability on the 24th of July (updated)



Looks like we won't have to wait till the beginning of August. From the Blackhat website:

Registration Now Open for BH Webcast number 2 With Dan Kaminsky

It's all over the news: Dan Kaminsky found a major, fundamental flaw in DNS that renders practically any name server vulnerable. He'll be speaking in depth on this discovery in August at BH USA, but he's agreed to discuss it a few weeks early. Get your best questions ready - the webcast will be live Thursday, July 24 at 1pm PT/4pm ET.

UPDATE: From doxpara.com

1) Yes, I’m doing a webcast with Black Hat on the 24th
2) No, I’m not releasing the exploit early.

Now, let me be clear. Oh wow, I wish I could drop the technical details on the 24th. Did I really just sign up for a month of this? But, no. The webcast will be good. The webcast will have interesting information. You should indeed attend the webcast. But I’m not screwing up everyone’s schedules with a huge “WHUPS JUST KIDDING”. Details are being held until either August 6th or August 7th, depending on when Jeff Moss ends up finally scheduling me.

Just a l’il while longer, guys.

No, it's just more advocacy. It's *killing* me, having to leave the tech out for a few more weeks. But there's some really scary stuff here.

Hang in there Dan. It may be hard, but I respect your decision. But you're leaving us in suspense. ;-)
