Tools are usually made to make things convenient, not possible. I really wanna know how that Gibsons DNSbench works. Anyway, maybe you are not that interested! :) There's no magic involved in such a program. What question(s) do you have? If you know any programming languages, you can easily write your own. According to his webpage, he's a programmer. Currently unemployed. Well, unemployed last time I visited it, some years ago. Hence my insinuations that he is either trolling (notice the off-topic groups he keeps adding to the follow-up and the completely off topic "issues") or has mental issues. Probably both. To MWC: DNSBench polls DNS servers from a list (which you can alter and save as an .ini file), calculates the average time (it polls them at varying intervals) to get a correct reply. It also sends random-generated FAKE names to see if the DNS server redirects the lookups to ad/profiling/datamining pages. Then makes a table with the results with the most reliable/fastest ones at the top. It's a tiny 160KB portable program, and there is no malware present at all. I've been using it ever since Gibson announced the beta test some 9 years ago. No, a DNS server will NOT interpret a dozen lookups with random intervals between them as a DOS attack. The fastest server is usually your ISP's. Don't forget to add the IP addresses to the list if and when you finally decide it's not "black magic" and actually run it. HTH []'s Can you suggest how to run it on an Apple iMac? Whats an apple imac? A nerdy plaything? |
