Topic:    dns typosquatting: methods, effects, and counteraction
          what verisign's sitefinder means for the internet domain system

Speaker:  paul vixie
          internet software consortium

About the talk:

On September 15 2003, VeriSign added a DNS wildcard to the COM
and NET zones. On September 17, ISC released a patch to BIND that
allows our users to filter out the effects of these wildcards. In
this extemporaneous talk, Paul Vixie of ISC will explain what
happened, who's upset about it, and why.

About the speaker:

Paul Vixie was the last maintainer of BIND4, the main author of
BIND8, and an architect of BIND9. After cofounding MAPS (an
anti-spam company) and having some some excellent adventures in
DotBombLand, he returned to ISC in May 2002 as its full time
president. Paul holds the record for "most CERT advisories due to
a single author", and no longer writes code that other people
will see.
