Now this was a cool presentation. Like a neighborhood kid showing off his birthday presents, Dan Kaminsky had a bag full of tricks to talk about. He prefaced his hack extravaganza with a list of 7 topics he would discuss. When it was said and done, he talked about DNS, DNS, some new IP fragmentation techniques that enable IDS evasion, DNS and thankfully DNS. Although Kaminsky appears to know more about DNS than the most OSes do, he was able to bring most of his presentation down to a level where mere hackers could digest it. All in all he had many scary things to talk about, and a fun video over DNS demo. He was severely let down by the lame ass wireless internet that BlackHat provided. Although super slow, free wireless for the attendees is acceptable, making the presenters use the same unwired and horridly slow connection to run a live demo is shameful.

Good show Dan, hopefully Defcon hands you some RJ-45.
