[dns-operations] Dan Kaminsky has passed away

[James Stevens]

I see Sarah (his niece) has made an appeal for a copy of a video, maybe 
somebody in this group might have a copy?

"Right after Black Hat in 2008. We had just debuted our Sarah On DNS 
video. If anyone happens to have a copy of that video or can somehow 
find it, youtube took it down and I would very much appreciate any help 
locating that video"
