dnsop, I tried to take it offlist with Dean Anderson, but I cannot seem to get very far. He has not recanted, corrected or otherwise provided any additional, verifiable evidence that would support this statement:
'At great effort, a DNS researcher has compiled a list of about 20000 open recursors by brute force search of 3.7 billion IP addressses.' He did tell me: 'I think there are several people on the list who do know what researcher I'm talking about.' As many of you know, I've done this sort of work, have discovered many millions of resolvers and have presented the data in other forums. I don't need the list of 20,000 resolvers. :-) I am just interested in finding out what 'effort' and 'researcher' Dean Anderson is referring to. I know of of no such researcher or effort where his claim could possibly be legitimate. I know of Dan Kaminsky's work, Duane Wessels work and at least two other, mostly private efforts. None support his statement. I will surmise that Dean's claim is simply false unless evidence to the contrary arises.
