GitHub Sponsors Profile

The DNS Operations, Analysis, and Research Center (DNS-OARC) brings together key operators, implementors, and researchers on a trusted platform so they can coordinate responses to attacks and other concerns, share information and learn together.
DNS-OARC has five key functions:

Information Sharing - DNS-OARC provides a trusted, shared platform to allow the DNS operations community to share information and data.
Operational Characterization - DNS-OARC measures the performance and load of key nameservers and publish statistics on both traffic load and traffic type (including error types).
Workshops - DNS-OARC organizes two annual workshops where members and the public are invited to give presentations on timely topics relevant to DNS both operations and research.
Analysis - Leading researchers and developers provide long-term analysis of DNS performance and post-mortems of attacks, and a well-provisioned system allows members to upload traces and logs, and to perform their own analysis.
Tools and Services - As vulnerabilities and DNS problems come to light, DNS-OARC develops publicly-available, open-source tools and services to assist with highlighting, diagnosing, and remedying such problems.

As noted in #5 above, a key part of DNS-OARC's mission is to develop, maintain and host various software tools for DNS data collection, measurement and analysis, and as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating in the public good, DNS-OARC is 100% reliant on public support to develop and maintain the tools that many rely upon.
Please help OARC continue its mission to improve the security, stability and understanding of the Internet's DNS infrastructure through our open source tools.
