NLnet Labs celebrates twenty-five years as an independent, non-profit foundation working on #opensource and #openstandards. Our mission remains to make the core of the Internet a better, safer place by developing open-source software, through applied research and by promoting and contributing to open standards. Have you been along for the ride as a user of our #DNS or #routing software, worked with us on #IETF standardisation, applied research or policy advocacy? Share your story! image
We need your help! We're making good progress with #XDP support for our #DNS software. However, to properly test it we need access to two metal boxes with 10Gb/s NICs that have XDP driver support, e.g. Please contact us if you can help out. 💚
Important commit of the day... #OpenSource #Anniversary image
2024 has been a pivotal year for NLnet Labs. Our vision for #DNS, our commitment to the #rustlang programming language and, in its wake, the influx of new talent joining our team, all combined with the support we received from @Sovereign Tech Agency, we’ve been able to make a giant leap forward in realizing our #OpenSource goals. We are eager to maintain the momentum! In the first of a series of articles, we look back at 2024 and set the stage for things to come.
Our #DNS toolkit for #rustlang, using our domain crate, is nearing completion. We'll offer the commands to transform a DNSKEY RR to DS RR (key2ds), create a #DNSSEC key pair (keygen), print out the NSEC3 hash for the given domain name (nsec3-hash), generate a DNSSEC signed zone (signzone), send a NOTIFY message to DNS servers and lastly for now, define functions to perform UPDATE queries. Up next are the finishing touches, with fuzzing support, packages and man pages.
