About of DNS ERROR
Vigay.com : Ant Support - DNS Resolver Module
For the ANT Resolver module [ANT].
On entry R1 = pointer to host name string, 0 terminated On exit R0 = errno integer value if V flag is clear, or = error block pointer if V flag is set R1 = pointer to completed 'hostent' struct if successful, = 0 if failed All other registers preserved on exit Use This SWI is provided primarily for backwards compatibility, since new network applications can use the more flexible _GetHost SWI as described below
The exact algorithm followed is that on any hostname lookup, this SWI is called, and if no error is returned, then the hostent ptr returned is used by the Internet module
If an error is returned, the Internet module uses its own (broken) /etc/hosts file lookup code
The hostent struct has the following, Net-BSD standard format - see <netdb.h> for more details; struct hostent { char *h_name; /* official name of host */ char **h_aliases; /* alias list */ int h_addrtype; /* host address type */ int h_length; /* length of address */ char **h_addr_list; /* list of addresses */ #define h_addr h_addr_list[0]; /* address (compatiblity) */ }; A Net-BSD standard 'errno' value is returned in R0 if there was an error
How to Handle Robozilla Errors
Official guidelines for dealing with Robozilla error messages.
What should I do about Robozilla Errors? Your first job is to become Sherlock Holmes and figure out why the URL isn't responding
Below is a list of common reasons for errors and actions you might take
Bonk the 'URL works for me: Clear Error' button
If the site is unique to the category, send it to unreviewed and the error-hunting team will try to find a new address for it
What do the Error Codes mean? There are two types of error codes that are presented in the open directory
These numbers are Errors in the HTTP protocol
Error codes with values less than 0 are errors that occured while trying to talk to the server (but not succeeding)
Links are checked twice before they are marked with an error, to try to account for machines that are temporarily down
Following are the most common error codes generated by Robozilla
Code Meaning 500 Server error Sometimes happens due to a server misconfiguration
Try converting spaces to %20 and see if that fixes the error
0 Unknown error Probably a DNS error
-7 Server Error The server returned an unknown error code, and is probably misconfigured
Architectural Concerns on the use of DNS Wildcards
Comment by the Internet Architecture Board on adverse effects of using DNS
wildcards to resolve unregistered domains.
Finally, the two factors listed above ("match anything" behavior, and poor interaction with anything that depends on "no such name" responses) interact with normal and predictable human errors to allow wildcards to have effects far beyond their intended scope
So, while delegating the bar.example zone will prevent a wildcard record *.example from affecting a user who typed foo.bar.example as foi.bar.example, it will not prevent the same wildcard record from affecting the same user when the error is foo.bat.example
Even if these were acceptable changes, the new mechanism has poor scaling properties, and unless the operator chooses to invest significant resources in maintaining a large, robust web server setup, the user experience is going to get even worse: instead of either a local language error message or an English search page, the user is going to get "attempting to connect..." followed by a long wait
This creates a very poor user experience, since typographical errors that in the past would have bounced immediately may now go unnoticed for several days
The proxy generates an error message which is sent back to the sender's email address

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in "com/sun/jndi/dns/DnsClient.java", which causes an internal counter to be negative after 32768 DNS requests
This can be exploited by triggering a large amount of DNS requests to cause an application, which performs DNS lookups, to get an DNS error thrown whenever a DNS request is done
VeriSign redirects error pages | CNET News.com
CNET News article about the company's surprise decision to take control of all
unassigned .com and .net domain names.
| Password: or Remember me | Search: VeriSign redirects error pages By Staff Writer, CNET News.com Published: September 16, 2003, 3:31 PM PDT Criticism is quickly growing over VeriSign's surprise decision to take control of all unassigned .com and .net domain names, a move that has wreaked havoc on many e-mail utilities and antispam filters
On Monday, VeriSign released an describing the implementation of its 'Site Finder' program, saying it 'improves the user Web-browsing experience when the user has submitted a query for a nonexistent second-level domain in the .com and .net second-level domains...(Previously) his or her Web browser returned an error message that contained no useful information.' In an unusual kind of grassroots movement, some network administrators have begun to invent and launch against VeriSign
A discussion thread on the North American Network Operators' Group mailing list was titled 'What *are* they smoking?' and offered on how to configure routers and servers to block access to VeriSign's site, so Web users would receive the traditional 'nonexistent domain' error message

DNSTran
A utility to speed up the process of DNS lookups. Works well with Analog. Mac,
Linux, Sun, and Irix.
Fixed a problem which caused there to always be output errors on non-compressed translations
There is now a configuration file that allows control of the 'dnscache' file format for different versions of Analog, the level of compression used (including none) for the translated log files, forcing exiting at the end regardless of errors, disabling the translation pass (if all you want is the dnscache file), new smaller dnscache file format if you don't need it to be Analog compatible
January 16, 1998 DNSLookup 1.0.1, Fixed a bug that caused a 'problem opening file webstar.log.gz' error message on larger log files
DNSLookup now pauses at the end when there is a serious error to allow you to read the error messages
February 10, 1997 DNSLookup 1.0a1 Now allows clicks on the menu bar and exits when completed unless there was an error
DNSTran will automatically exit when it completes, unless there were errors

Using check_* in sendmail 8.8
sendmail 8.8: using the check_* rules to prohibit unauthorized relaying through
your sendmail server and to reject UBE from well known addresses.
These new rulesets can do whatever you want, the only interesting case is when the resolve to the the $#error mailer, i.e., $#error $@ error-code $: error-text
In this case the indicated message is printed and the command is rejected with an error code
However, if you don't repeat the error number in the error text, uses the default value 553
uses a map with error messages as right side
First, you may have a list of domains in an external file which you want to ban completely: F{SpamDomains} /etc/mail/SpamDomains e.g., cyberpromo.com quantcom.com Next, you may have a list of users which you want to ban too: F{Spammer} /etc/mail/Spammer e.g., lamer@aol.com Now you can use these as follows: R<$={Spammer}> $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: '550 We don't accept junk mail' R<$={Spammer}.> $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: '550 We don't accept junk mail' R$* $: $>3 $1 R$*<@$={SpamDomains}.>$* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: '550 We don't accept junk mail from your domain' R$*<@$={SpamDomains}>$* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: '550 We don't accept junk mail from your domain' In addition, you may want to act on broken mailers which don't use <> around addresses: R$={Spammer} $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: '550 We don't accept junk mail' R$={Spammer}

Domains Reregistered for Distribution of Unrelated Content - A ...

(Such information could be offered freely to the interested public in some automatically-generated form, just as by Verisign.) Alternatively, search engines could improve and better publicize their "report an error" features, and directories like Yahoo could add a specific form and prioritized processing procedure for reporting and correcting the total misclassification of a web site
As Richard Lau, such notification might take place via a temporary removal of an expiring domain from name servers; after the domain has expired but before it is made available to others, the domain might be replaced with a page reporting that "your domain is past due, and you must renew it by x to avoid forfeiting it." This error page would quickly cause interested registrants to pay renewal fees, even while maintaining for some brief additional period the current registrant's exclusive right to renew
UDP: the User Datagram Protocol
Describes its structure, properties and uses.
Aside from the multiplexing/demultiplexing function and some light error checking, it adds nothing to IP
Application-level reliability also allows an application to tailor its own application-specific form of error control
The checksum is used by the receiving host to check if errors have been introduced into the segment during the course of its transmission from source to destination
(Basic principles of error detection are described in Section 5.2.)
UDP Checksum The UDP checksum provides for error detection
If this sum equals 1111111111111111, then the segment has no detected errors
If one of the bits is a zero, then we know that errors have been introduced into the segment
If no errors are introduced into the segment, then clearly the sum at the receiver will be 1111111111111111
If one of the bits is a zero, then we know that errors have been introduced into the segment
In section 5.1, we'll see that the Internet checksum is not foolproof -- even if the sum equals 111111111111111, it is still possible that there are undetected errors in the segment
For this reason, a number of protocols use more sophisticated error detection techniques than simple checksumming
