Yep, in a world of encrypted DNS transports, it is a folly to believe that DNS-based blocks would be affective at thwarting any sort of malware. That said, some IoC (indicators of compromise) setups do rely on it nevertheless.

just because something new comes along doesn't mean you stop doing the thing that worked for all of the older/existing things. otherwise, the existing things start working.

you make it sound like people dumb for relying on something that works in certain situations. that's just hubris on your part if that's what you actually feel.

You make it sound like I compared DNS-based security to snake oil. That's just futuristic thinking on your part (:

>setups do rely on it nevertheless.

this is where I'm drawing my conclusion. no snake oil accusations necessary. the sentence is read with an implied "nevertheless, [dumbasses|idiots|noobies]" type of ending
