What to bring:

All actual work will be done on a Linux Xen server hosting a virtual Linux server per student. Ethernet is preferred, wireless is optional. Internet access is required.

The student is required to bring a working laptop. It should have networking, an SSH client (PUTTY for Windows, OpenSSH for Linux/OSX), a text editor that they are comfortable with, and a web browser.

The student may be required to reconfigure the network settings on their laptop.

All other software will be provided by the instructors, and will be accessed by the student via SSH.

Understanding and Deploying DNSSEC

Paul Wouters and Patrick Nauber


Register Button


Overview:

Fifteen TLD's, including ".gov" and ".org", now use DNSSEC, and if all
goes as planned, the root will be signed before Black Hat USA 2010 starts,
with ".com" will follow in 2011. DNSSEC is here to stay, and sooner or
later DNS administrators will have to know how to use it on their zones,
and how to use it for their end-users. The US Government made DNSSEC
mandatory to implement in 2010.

This course will teach the theory of DNSSEC as required from an
operational perspective. You will lean how to use the available DNSSEC
software such as Bind, Unbound and Microsoft DNS. You will learn how to
create and publish a DNSSEC signed domain. And importantly, how to deal
with the DNSSEC key management, the core complexity of using DNSSEC. It
will teach how to configure DNS resolvers to take advantage of DNSSEC with
minimal infrastructure changes. There are many pitfalls to be aware of,
and these will be shown and taught.

The course is given over two days. Both days consist of a theoretical
part and lab session in the morning, and another theoretical part and
lab session in the afternoon.

Participants only need a laptop with an ssh client to participate.

Course Length: Two days. All course materials, lunch and two coffee breaks will be provided. A Certificate of Completion will be offered.
