Jeff Krakenberg - DNS Servers and Interrupting Cybercrime
About this talk
In November 2025, I set up a DNS Server in DigitalOcean to demonstrate how to gain experience, even without traditional "homelab" equipment. Everything was going well until my DNS Server started receiving 1,500 requests a minute, all targeting a regional bank's TXT records.
