Reducing Malicious Activities With Domain Interdiction

The viewer will understand how their computer resolves a domain name to a publicly routable IP address and how DNS relates to an infected host machine. To accomplish this, the viewer will be walked through the process of DNS and a high-level overview of routing data over the Internet. An understanding of the DNS process coupled with information on how some malicious programs communicate to their attacker will better position the viewer to identify and mitigate malicious connections from their machine.
