#Objective
At the end of this course, participants will be familiar with the Domain Name System and Security Extensions to the Domain Name System (DNSSEC). The course is taught “hands-on” in a virtualized FreeBSD environment using the BIND, NSD and Unbound name server implementations. Participants will configure authoritative and recursive domain name servers and will learn to analyse and debug common misconfigurations and bugs.
#Description
Hands on DNS and DNSSEC.
Three day course.
#Requirements
Participants should be familiar with Unix-style operating systems. The course is taught on FreeBSD but the environment will be familiar to people with a systems administration background on Linux or Solaris. Participants should bring their own laptops. The virtualised lab environment is hosted on a server in Germany. Reliable internet connectivity with reasonable latency is required.
