Even the best software requires regular professional maintenance

ISC develops and distributes four open source Internet networking software packages: BIND 9, ISC DHCP, Kea DHCP, and Stork, and operates the F-Root domain server. Our staff are actively maintaining this open source, triaging bug reports, and constantly testing, improving and extending the software. We also participate actively in open industry communities where networking protocols are developed and operators share concerns and solutions.

We would love to help you to use our open source in your network. We publish application packages and container images for popular operating systems to make it easier for you to deploy and update our software. We have extensive documentation, a knowledgebase, and we participate actively in the user mailing lists we host. For serious enterprise users we recommend subscribing to our excellent private technical support services.

LLMs are excellent tools for finding vulnerabilities, but they are no replacement for an experienced team of professional maintainers.
