Speaker: Kyle Rankin

Description:

    In this talk Kyle will cover the basics of how DNS (Domain Name System)
    works. The talk will include a short history of the service, how it
    works today, and a step-by-step walk-through of what happens between
    entering a domain into a web browser and getting back an IP address.
    Also covered is how you could use this new-found knowledge to take down
    the Internet.  Specific implementations of DNS (BIND, djbdns, PowerDNS)
    will not be covered.
