Advanced DNS & BIND training course

Advanced DNS & BIND training course

Implementing, maintaining and securing DNS servers with BIND.

This 2 day course delves into DNS and BIND far deeper than your average DNS course and covers everything you need to know to set up, operate, maintain and troubleshoot a BIND name server environment. We cover topics such as SPF, rndc, logging, nsupdate, views, TSIG and even DNSSEC.

Following the excellent O'Reilly "DNS & BIND" book, we cover the following topics:

Course Agenda Day 1    

DNS Refresher
Setting up BIND
DNS & email
Configuring hosts
Maintaining BIND
Capacity planning
Parenting
Advanced features

Course Agenda Day 2

Security
nslookup & dig
Troubleshooting
Architecture
Miscellaneous

In addition you will be provided with your own copy of "DNS & BIND", commonly referred to as the DNS bible, to take away and study at your leisure.

Assumptions

This is an "advanced" course!  Therefore we are assuming you already know:

  • The difference between master & slave servers
  • The various common resource record types and their formats
  • What a root server is
  • What forwarding does
  • How the caching mechanism works
  • How delegation works
  • The difference between authoritative and non-authoritative answers

We run a 1 day "Introduction" course if your knowledge is a little skimpy and would suggest you attend that if you are a DNS or BIND novice.

The course is run on Linux Fedora virtual machines and you will need to be familiar with the Unix/Linux command line (and be able to operate "vi" at a basic level).

This course is written and presented by an Accumuli Security consultant who has over 15 years experience of deploying DNS & BIND solutions in many large organisations.
