Test Your DNS Provider

without comments

Large Scale DNS vulnerability – find out if your DNS servers require update now.

Our tool will allow you to test whether or not you are “safe”. If the results indicate that your upstream DNS provider is vulnerable, send them an email to find out when they plan on patching, or start using another DNS server that has been patched.

OpenDNS is patched… switch to that if you have a problem.
