You use Domain Name Servers every time you type an address in your browser, and you probably never think about it. Hackers do. A vulnerability found recently could allow them to take over your DNS. You can hope your internet provider is prepared for the attack, or you can use a service immune to such attacks, like OpenDNS. ... Source: blog.wired.com --- 14 days ago
LAS VEGAS -- When Dan Kaminsky disclosed last month that he'd discovered a serious vulnerability in the Domain Name System that would allow hackers to subvert DNS servers and send web surfers to malicious web sites, DNS server owners scrambled to apply a patch to fix the flaw. Kaminsky said today in his talk about the security vulnerability at the Black Hat Security Conference that 120 million broadband consumers are now protected, thanks to DNS servers being patched in the thirty days since news of the bug went public. But many users have been wary of trusting the patched servers or have sought alternatives while waiting for their DNS server to be patched. One alternative Kaminsky recommended last month was to use OpenDNS -- which wasn't affected by the vulnerability. According to OpenDNS founder and CEO David Ulevitch, the service has seen a huge increase in traffic in one month. Prior to July 13 when Kaminsky announced the flaw, OpenDNS was handling 5.6 billion queries a day. Now it's handling 7 billion. Ulevitch says they're seeing a lot of Fortune 500 companies switching to OpenDNS rather than run their own DNS structure. Ulevitch says OpenDNS, which launched two years ago, has had no problem handling the upsurge in traffic and welcomes more. "I don't know if I want to use the quote 'bring it on' but we can certainly handle what we're doing today and we can do many, many times more," he says. ...

If, like me, you don’t trust your ISP’s nameservers to be patched and working correctly (or for them to sell you out to advertisers by redirecting broken links or whatever), then here’s a quick solution to setting up your box to use OpenDNS servers instead. Using this assumes three things though: You don’t have anything in /etc/conf.d/net You are a DHCP client You are using sys-apps/openrc Anything besides that, you’ll just have to figure it out yourself, though the commands should be close. BTW, someone correct me if I’m wrong. Add this to /etc/conf.d/net: dhcp_eth0=”nodns” dns_servers_eth0=”208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220″ If eth0 is not your primary NIC, then you’d have to change that. Then just restart net.eth0 (/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart) and you should see this in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 ...
