Are There Really 7 Keys to the Internet?

[@jakobmeibeyer]

I'm a software engineer and it always makes me reaaaally happy when people like you explain the foundations of the internet in "non-technical" terms (even though the viewership here is fairly technical)! Really well done, good job!

I can see this channel evolve to things the studio finds interesting and making videos about those topics. I'm all for it

As a Security Engineer, this is so beautiful for me! I'm genuinely amazed. This made me so happy. What a wonderful video! So here for more videos from The Studio!

[@HardikShah17]

Being someone who has worked with DNS and Hosting servers and the fact that I knew ICANN made this video super interesting! Kudos

[@mananahuja4656]

Oh hi there , just asking , what did you do to get into these stuff or just your intrest took you there

[@HardikShah17]

@@mananahuja4656hi actually the firm that I worked for was a service provider for domains, hosting servers etc and it was my job to kind of know the in and out of DNS. I did take a lot of interest just learning this stuff.

[@mananahuja4656]

@@HardikShah17 nice

[@ghajik.]

​@@mananahuja4656 When buying a domain, you'd notice something called "ICANN Fee", so when purchasing a domain you pay them a fee, hence most people that buy domains know about them. DNS is basically something most people have to know about, things got advanced and now there's DoH to protect you from a hacker tampering the connection between the dns provider and you in between. (as a matter of fact its included in CBSE computer science) You can start by buying a VPS maybe? It all started for me by making a minecraft server on an ubuntu server, then it went to a webserver and so on...and i was a mac user, so the terminal of ubuntu and macos were just similar and syntaxes for cli commands are almost same that it was easy to navigate. If you are a windows user, WSL is great to get exposure, since you'd get spoilt if you installed the ubuntu with desktop environment.

[@CoasterMan13Official]

Who is ICANN?

[@boldschool6308]

Studio channel is just blowing up crazy interesting fun stuff

[@neoqueto]

I'm happy they're becoming more independent and free to do cool projects other than their "namesake duties".

[@nasseralsharif]

I love David since he was in Android Authority team, and now I love him more. He is a really Tech enthusiast and savvy.

[@CapnSlipp]

ICANN’s signature is like a notary’s stamp. Or more specifically, there’s a bunch of notaries who can all stamp things, but their legitimacy is proven by a license stamped by ICANN itself. If you find something notarized by someone who themselves is licensed by someone who themselves… following the chain down to the root signer, if the root isn’t ICANN, it isn’t legit. If the root is ICANN, then it is.

[@princebanini]

more episodes like this please. i love it. never knew this ceremony existed.

[@iammashdots]

this was super fascinating. having worked in IT for over a decade, i'd recommend this video as a good starting point to how the internet works.

[@ScottKelley]

The audio quality in these inside videos is phenomenal.

[@AWWx2]

I love having David presenting all this info on I C A N N and all the steps involved within cryptographic security. Your channel teaches me more about technology than I ever learned in school, way way back, yes way back before there was a public internet and yes way before there were personal computers. Thank you all, and thank you, especially David in this video for giving such a clear, reasoned, easy-to-understand presentation here. Did you guys have some more fun while you were visiting in Culpeper, VA?

[@NineteenEightyFive]

Ok that was really fascinating! Would love to see more like these

I noticed that the IP addresses shown at 5:31 are out of IP range. Each octet has a range from 0-255.

[@xKenshin13]

LOL

[@rubenhein9128]

Yes, just noticed that too.

[@morsikpl]

Standard "TV notation" - to prevent anyone from trying to access those IPs. Except in this case, those were IPs from private range so it doesn't matter here :D

[@TheBongoMan]

Loved seeing David's style from his personal channel being brought to The Studio!

[@MABACTS]

As someone who's about to start their career in IT Security, this was super interesting to watch! Great reporting here from David.

[@farley333]

Oh wow. KZbin recomended me a good piece of content for a change. Knew this ceremony existed, but had no idea it's that public. Nice. Thanks.

[@BACKLIGHT]

Really enjoy this style of relaxed investigative journalism. Very easy to watch despite breaking down everything so comprehensively

[@jamesmcqueary6233]

I'm super happy he broke it down the way he did because I legit thought it WAS just 7 people who held some kind of James Bond villain type key device that could legit shut down the internet.

[@michaelchen2718]

10:00 I was expecting something a lot fancier and futuristic. But no, just plastic chairs in a beige room. LMAO

[@beatricecapelli7634]

Really really loved the video and the podcast episode! David is a fantastic technical-story-teller. I hope you'll do more technical videos as this one! I'd really appreciate.

[@sanchopad]

What the heck did I just watch and why was it so interesting? This was probably one of the most educational videos I've watched in a while.

Awesome video Dave :D

[@haramrit09k]

This is an absolutely wonderful video! So much information in such a short span, loved it! I have a question though. The people in the ceremony are wearing masks and based on what you said, I believe this is footage from somewhere around June 2022, right? So are they wearing masks for privacy reasons? Or as a part of COVID precautions? Cuz I feel around that time, COVID was long forgotten. I’m just curious :D Also, watched the Waveform episode for this story as well ;)

[@glasssawsslipperstraws7410]

"wtf where did the internet go" me with a neck shaped oddly like 7 keys "uhhhh i dunno"

[@andrew8293]

The key signing ceremonies are always interesting especially from a cyber security perspective. They literally allow for not a single vulnerability in this situation down to the computer and OS they use for the key signing which is incredible. It's true that there's seven authorities over DNS and if they all shut down at the same time the internet will kinda go down. However your ISP all the way down to your personal device has some form of DNS cache on it which will keep you online for quite a while even without these servers. You can even run your own DNS database at home for yourself if you want to.

[@ChaseLancaster]

I love hearing all of these unique stories from David. Such a gem member of the team.

[@natanielfarzan]

I had no idea this was a thing! Would love to see more videos like this!

[@KonstantinDimitrovski]

Those IPs on 5:27 and later in the video seem legit 😂

[@Lazerjoinside]

A German TV Show called Galileo made an documentary film about this topic but interesting to see what changed since then

[@QuantumOfSilence]

I really like these type of informative videos (in the style of Vox, Johnny Harris) and definitely think The Studio should do more of them.

The only part I am confused about, is what are the redundency steps if someone dies that knows the only code combination to the safe?

[@jonathantribble7013]

This is a very exciting video! "ICANN" get used to videos like this 😂

[@zeenkosis]

[@Jrami22]

I’m sorry but can someone please help me understand. The ican meeting and processes that those people take, are to approve new sites ? Or are they doing like a quarterly meeting to clean the servers ? I didn’t understand what the general purpose of the meeting.

[@kreuner11]

Each website has a number similar to a phone number, but you can't call someone just with their name, you need their phone number. DNS let's you translate this name to a number. DNS can be hacked to have the wrong number, so they make sure that if you want to change the number without the owners approval, you need to eventually use their keys. The keys are litteraly in a safe, in a cage, in a building, in a restricted area

[@immagonthinkalot7792]

An way to explain, why this is so important: On the internet one entity can "vouch" for another to be legit, but you need to start trusting someone. And that someone ist the organisation. Being transparent is exactly what you need to do to be trustworthy.

[@rahulnarayan507]

The amount of effort ya'll put up for the videos is unreal!

[@bignick3303]

Video would’ve been so gangster if you ended it with just the head nod. “Until next time..(head nod)” **fades to black screen**

[@RajPraveen1312]

It was really fun to hear, even the official ICANN signers saying "be sure to smash that Like button" at the end😆😉

[@kalfin4840]

Bruh. Studio... More vids like this. This is what the ppl want.

[@sikachu]

Loving your video. Thank you very much for looking to this. However, I'm a bit "ehhh?" on the terminology in this video, since I would think the right term to use for something that help mitigate DNS Cache Poisoning would be DNSSEC instead? Public key cryptography is just a name of cryptographic system that use a pair of key - one key that you need to keep secret (private key) and another key where you gives our to other people (public key). Using some kind of algorithms, it allows you to use a public key to verify that something has been correctly signed by the right private key, and also allowing you to use private key to verify that something has been correctly signed by a public key. DNSSEC uses public key cryptography and a chain of trust, but there're other things that uses this as well - SSH, GPG, TLS Certificate, etc. Hence, for this DNS-related usage, using the term "public key cryptography" felt a bit too broad for me, but that might be just how I felt 😄. Again, thank you very much for looking into this and get me to know about the key signing ceremony for the root zone.
