DNS and BIND Fundamentals training course is a comprehensive introduction to DNS and BIND. In-depth lectures cover DNS concepts in detail, as well as how DNS is implemented in today's Internet. Practical experience is gained through many hands-on labs, which each student runs on his or her own server, which we provide.
Recently, we have added four new sections on DNS Cookies, Response Policy Zones (RPZ), Response Rate Limiting (RRL) and dnstap. Many new labs have been added, including several problem solving and debugging labs along with additional quizzes.
Nothing is taken for granted, and the first lab begins by downloading, compiling, and installing BIND. Students create BIND configuration from scratch for both authoritative and recursive servers. They create zone files from scratch for authoritative masters. DNS tools such as, dig, rndc named-checkconf, & named-checkzone, are taught in depth and used extensively in the labs.
