BNS is Pilot Testing Video Monitoring Service
Since BNS NOC team is on 24×7 basis and monitoring servers, why not extend the monitoring to cover also the video surveillance? This is exactly the aim of our pilot testing to enable BNS to one day offer 24×7 video surveillance to selected clients.
The Video Monitoring service is envisioned to provide peace of mind to property and business owners with 24×7 staff keeping tabs on the remote video feed from newer generation Digital Video Recorders that have internet capabilities.
BNS team can also help plan the optimal location and aim of the various types of dome cameras for maximum coverage. Instant alerts are provided for every notable ‘incident’. This service can be rendered worldwide.
DNS Cache Problems
BNSHosting has recently coordinated with several larger ISPs and Telcos in the Philippines to correct some possible DNS spoofing issues. The symptoms are that the targetted website is not being resolved properly by other ISP’s DNS.
This article from US CERT on DNS vulnerability (http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113) may shed some light. Some excerpts are reproduced below:
Caching DNS resolvers are primarily at risk–both those that are open (a DNS resolver is open if it provides recursive name resolution for clients outside of its administrative domain), and those that are not. These caching resolvers are the most common target for attackers; however, stub resolvers are also at risk.
An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful cache poisoning attack can cause a nameserver’s clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly malicious, hosts for particular services. Consequently, web traffic, email, and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the attacker’s control
