For those of us in the IT Field ...


Head-scratcher: DNS zone transfers now illegal in North Dakota?

"Ever been prosecuted for tracking spam? Running a traceroute? Doing a zone transfer? Asking a public internet server for public information that it is configured to provide upon demand?

No? Well, David Ritz has. And amazingly, he lost the case.

Here are just a few of the gems that the court has the audacity to call ”conclusions of law.” Read them while you go donate to David’s legal defense fund. He got screwed here, folks, and needs your help.

“Ritz’s behavior in conducting a zone transfer was unauthorized within the meaning of the North Dakota Computer Crime Law.” You might not know what a zone transfer is, but I do. It’s asking a DNS server for all the particular public info it provides about a given domain. This is a common task performed by system administrators for many purposes. The judge is saying that DNS zone transfers are now illegal in North Dakota."

How about turning off the trunks at the router level leading into and out of North Dakota - or better yet, ground all DNS updates to all DNS Servers in ND! Render them useless based on this morons desicion... :lol:

Could you imagine being prosecuted for running a traceroute???? We do that routinely to help fine tune the net.
