Good morning, Brussels!

For #DNSSEC, the domain crate can use different crypto backends such as the ring crate or the #OpenSSL bindings. (But there are more.)
There is now a common-line tool to query the DNS, dnsi. And a CLI tool to do misc. manipulations, dnst ("people are using the ldns library example programs in production"). And a key manager, keyset.
Now, no longer Rust, we switch to a real language, Erlang. The authoritative name server erldns at DNSimple.
A good mission statement for DNS Tapir "Breaking the bad, stopping the ugly"
DNS Tapir analyzes #DNS query data. Among the challenges, privacy, if you want to give access to these data.
Obviously, "anonymization" is a joke and so is pseudonymization. DNS Tapir aggregates instead.

Go has a transparency log of its software, for supply-chains security https://www.gopherwatch.org/

And this log can now be queried through #DNS https://mastodon.gougere.fr/@DNSresolver/115995045484678683
(and with #DNSSEC authentication)
Built with the excellent Go DNS library https://github.com/miekg/dns

And then on top of that, you can implement automatic software updates. No more unpatched vulnerabilities.
With a real live demo, complete with an error message (No space left on device)
"#DNS, a love affair with lovecraftian horrors"
Nice horrible font on the titles at the slides.
