Attack Against DNS Root Servers

Schneier on Security 2015-12-22

Summary:

Has anyone been following the attack against the DNS root servers two weeks ago? Details.

I can't precisely explain why, but this feels like someone testing an attack capability.

For defense: it's long past time to implement source address validation in the DNS system.
