DNS root key rollover: check your resolver before October 11

The DNS root’s signing key is scheduled to change on October 11, 2026, and a resolver that has not trusted the replacement could make otherwise healthy websites unreachable. The new key, KSK-2024 (key tag 38696), has been published since January 2025; now operators can test whether their resolver recognizes it. Most website operators do not need to act, but DNSSEC resolver operators should verify readiness.

Enable built-in Sysmon in Windows 11 with PowerShell

Windows 11 now includes System Monitor (Sysmon), a tool that logs process creation, network connections, and file creation time changes to the Windows event log. Previously, it was a separate download from Sysinternals. The built-in version is an optional feature that is disabled by default, so you must enable it with PowerShell and install it with the sysmon command. This article explains the prerequisites, the commands, how to apply your own XML configuration, and how to verify that Sysmon writes events.
