Upcoming webinars from ISC

[Suzanne Goldlust]

ISC is happy to present two upcoming webinars for administrators of BIND 9 and Kea DHCP. All our webinars are recorded for later viewing and posted on our website at https://isc.org/presentations/.

------------------------------------

Kea users: we invite you to join us for a FREE six-webinar series, beginning Wednesday, September 16 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM UTC, on Using the Kea DHCP Server.

This series of bi-weekly webinars will enable a LINUX or UNIX system administrator to successfully deploy the open source Kea DHCP server. We will begin with a review of DHC protocol basics. Attendees will learn how to install, configure, and monitor a Kea DHCP server to assign dynamic and static IP addresses and IPv6 prefixes, and configure appropriate client options such as the default gateway and DNS server.

Register once for the entire series: each session will last approximately one hour, including Q&A as time permits.

• September 16: Session 1. DHCP fundamentals, DHCPv4 vs DHCPv6 differences
• September 30: Session 2. Kea installation and configuration
• October 14: Session 3. Kea lease allocation, client classification, and option assignment
• October 28: Session 4. High Availability and DB Backends

Please note there is an extra week between sessions 4 and 5. There is also a Daylight Savings Time disconnect between the US and Europe; please check your registration from Zoom for the correct time in your timezone.

• November 18: Session 5. Monitoring, Logging, and Stork
• December 2: Session 6. Migrating to Kea from ISC DHCP

BIND users: please join us for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, September 23 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM UTC on Encrypted DNS - where are we now?

As part of ISC's ongoing mission to keep the Internet open and accessible to all, we are happy to present another webinar on the status of encrypted DNS.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the basic protocols of the Internet - almost no application can work without DNS name resolution. Unfortunately, the classic DNS protocol was never designed to protect end-user privacy.

After a few years of relative calm, the IETF has intensified its work on privacy in the DNS, and new DNS protocols have been standardized: DoT (DNS over TLS) and DoH (DNS over HTTPS).

With the initial euphoria about the prospect of encrypted DNS over, disillusionment has been spreading in the IT community - the first implementations of DoH in major web browsers cause concerns that privacy data will be collected centrally at US cloud providers, a step backwards for user privacy.

But the story is not over yet. New protagonists Apple and Microsoft have joined the fray with new and interesting ideas about DNS encryption.

In this talk we will:

• review the reasons for concern about DNS privacy
• explain the new protocols DoT and DoH
• present the current (as of September 2020) status of DoH/DoT deployment
• look at new work from the IETF Adaptive DNS Discover (ADD) working group: Oblivious DoH (oDoH) and Adaptive DNS resolver discovery
• provide an update on the latest advances from Apple and Microsoft
