The Domain Name System (DNS) underpins Internet connectivity, yet its role is often overlooked in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With IoT devices expected to increase from 19.8 billion in 2025 to over 40.6 billion by 2034, this oversight exposes significant security and operational vulnerabilities. Investigating DNS behavior in IoT is essential to safeguard the stability and resilience of this critical expanding segment.
We investigate IoT DNS behavior in three areas: (1) sec…

I did a quick measurement comparing our authoritative DNS edge in IPv4 vs. IPv6. There does not appear to be any difference in the quality of service. Is DNS ready for IPv6-only authoritative service?

It’s been three years since I first presented IBDNS, the Intentionally Broken DNS Server, at DNS-OARC 38. The tool is primarily developed for testing Zonemaster, helping to make sure that Zonemaster gives the correct diagnostics in the right situations. This talk focuses on a concrete use case for IBDNS that does not involve Zonemaster: help with testing the implementation of a proposal of an EDNS option, that was done during the DNS Hackathon earlier this month.
