Internet pioneer Dr. Paul Vixie wishes people would stop ignoring his advice and start taking security seriously. The growth of the internet of things poses new challenges in the field of DNS security.

He says the tools were building are neither well structured, nor well understood. He also regrets not being nice and kind enough to build a collaborative community around him that would have benefited him.”]
