Abstract: 

On October 21st, Dyn was the target of a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. This attack disrupted interactions within a large swath of the internet and, suddenly, everyone in the media was talking about the DNS. This talk will cover the DNS landscape and the role that it plays, as well as the shifting trends in distributed denial of service attacks.
