Looking closely at the patch I applied yesterday, I realized that it has a couple of problems: * Instead of the hash randomization having 24 bits of entropy, it only had 2 to 5 bits of entropy * The hash randomization would sometimes not do a good job of randomizing the hash buckets chosen, slowing down MaraDNS' performance This in mind, I have release MaraDNS 1.3.07.13 and MaraDNS 1.4.09 today with both of these issues fixed. The hash randomization now has 31 bits of entropy, and the hash does a fairly good job of choosing a random hash bucket again. Done: * I have replaced the secret_hash patch with a better "better_hash" patch: http://maradns.org/download/patches/maradns-1.3-better_hash.patch * I have replaced 1.3.07.12 and 1.4.08 with 1.3.07.13 and 1.4.09 * I am informing the mailing list of this update Still to do (later on tonight or tomorrow): * Make the Windows version of MaraDNS 1.4.09 * Upload 1.4.09 to Sourceforge * Update the MaraDNS security page * Update the MaraDNS blog - Sam
