Men & Mice

REYKJAVIK, ICELAND Feb 02, 2001

Men & Mice today announces DNS Expert version 1.6, a unique tool that checks for configuration errors and vulnerabilities such as those contributing to Microsoft's recent Web site outage. What happened to Microsoft, can happen to 38% of the online world according to Men & Mice's survey; thereby all the more reason for companies to check their DNS set-up. DNS Expert is the most comprehensive DNS diagnostic tool available. It performs more than 70 tests on your DNS system and gives a detailed report on set-up misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities. For a description of the new features, and to check your DNS for errors, please visit www.menandmice.com.

Specific to this release are new tests that check for DNS setup problems such as those contributing to Microsoft's Web site failure last week. According to the survey performed last week by Men & Mice, Microsoft is by no means alone with regard to DNS weaknesses. The survey showed that 38% of Internet domains and 25% of Fortune 1000 companies share Microsoft's DNS vulnerability www.nwfusion.com/news/2001/0129studydns.html. Director of Surveys at Men and Mice, Sjofn Agustsdottir, said "Our surveys show that a stunning number of companies have serious DNS configuration problems which can lead to failure at any time. A single point of failure can go undetected for months which is simply a disaster waiting to happen." For more information on the problem and solutions see www.menandmice.com/infobase/mennmys/vefsidur.nsf/index/2.11

The DNS Expert 1.6 update is free for all currently registered users of DNS Expert Professional. Available for Windows 95/98/NT, Windows 2000 and Mac OS, DNS Expert analyzes any DNS system on any platform, or combination of platforms.

DNS Expert also performs a variety of other important DNS tests. This easy to use application performs in-depth analysis of DNS zone data and reports the results in a clear, easy-to-understand language, saving huge amounts of time when troubleshooting and maintaining your DNS System.

New copies are available for as low as $495 (USD), depending on network size. Please visit www.menandmice.com for more information and to download the new version.
