A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Area Working Group of the IETF. Title : Current Hostname Practice Considered Harmful Authors : Christian Huitema Dave Thaler Rolf Winter Filename : draft-ietf-intarea-hostname-practice-04.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2017-01-23 Abstract: Giving a hostname to your computer and publishing it as you roam from one network to another is the Internet equivalent of walking around with a name tag affixed to your lapel. This current practice can significantly compromise your privacy, and something should change in order to mitigate these privacy threats. There are several possible remedies, such as fixing a variety of protocols or avoiding disclosing a hostname at all. This document describes some of the protocols that reveal hostnames today and sketches another possible remedy, which is to replace static hostnames by frequently changing randomized values. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-hostname-practice/ There's also a htmlized version available at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-intarea-hostname-practice-04 A diff from the previous version is available at: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-intarea-hostname-practice-04 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
