DNSSEC is still slowly rolling out across the country, hoping to prevent lots of domain name hijacking and attacks that have cropped up in recent years. Researchers at Sandia Labs have come out with an interesting tool they call ‘DNSVis’ to help visualize DNSSEC configurations and hopefully find both errors and potential breaches.
Sandia Labs is looking for funding and partners to extend the tool, such as by enabling historical analysis to improve monitoring. Deccio envisions DNSViz becoming available as open source software, though currently it’s accessible only via the Web interface.
