Comcast Domain Helper hijacks address bar search

[brookie]

Great info all around.

I did some googling and found some info on dslreports about a dns benchmark tool. I went to this site and downloaded their free dns benchmark utility tool and ran it in winxp in my virtualbox.


He also has an online spoofability test here

Pretty interesting results and cool tool if any of you have access to windows for the utility.

Enjoy,
Brook

Google Public DNS

What is Google Public DNS?

Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.
To try it out:

• Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers or
• Read our configuration instructions.

If you decide to try Google Public DNS, your client programs will perform all DNS lookups using Google Public DNS.

How do you setup open DNS instead of comcast?

If you use Chrome, this won't happen. It's also about 4X faster than FF.
