Nmap Fan Edition 'One-Click' CLI Frontend Renzo Donegani (Aug 25)
Hello, fellow Cyber Security enthusiasts!
I have some exciting news to share with you.

I have created a Zsh script based on Nmap that works as a CLI Frontend.
This Zsh script - named Nmap-FE - has been created to perform a 'Smart
One-Click Scan' of a typical Windows-Linux-MacOS Target in less than 45
Minutes, you just need to enter the Target IPv4/CIDR/FQDN and you are ready
to go!

Some of the features included are:

Re: dev Digest, Vol 217, Issue 1 Subhra Das (Aug 02)
Hi Jack,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, Default is ICMP echo. But I am using the below command where I use TCP
mode. Moreover, I have the firewall set up on the source node to block ICMP
requests and replies. In this case, which user/ kernel process on the
target node, Node 2, is replying to the below nping TCP packets

*nping -c 1 --tcp -p 13567 <IP Address on Node 2>*

Thanks & Regards,
Subhra

Re: How Nping works at the OS/ kernel level Jack Dangler (Aug 02)
Unless I am mistaken, nping doesn't need to be installed at both ends.
nping is issuing a ping request to the other node. When ping runs, it
sends an ICMP "Echo" request to the interface and waits to get a
response. Once the target receives the request, it (should) respond by
sending a "Reply" packet.

How Nping works at the OS/ kernel level Subhra Das (Aug 02)
Hi,

I carried out the below experiment. Could anyone help me to find out which
process (at user/ kernel level) on the remote node is responding to nping
TCP packets. Is there any flow diagram to understand the same

a) On Node 1 installed nping tool

b) On Node 2 removed nping tool

c) Executed the *below* command on Node 1. It still works. Could you please
let us know how should we go about finding which process is responding to

Nmap 7.93 - 25th Anniversary Release! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Dear Nmap community,

Twenty five years ago today, I released the first version of Nmap in a
Phrack article named The Art of Port Scanning (https://nmap.org/p51-11.html).
I never thought I'd still be at it a quarter of a century later, but that's
because I also didn't anticipate such a wonderful community of users and
contributors spanning those decades. You've helped Nmap blossom from a
fairly simple port scanner to a...

Npcap Versions 1.70 and 1.71 improve Windows packet capturing performance, stability, security, and compatibility Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Hello folks. While the Nmap Project has been quiet lately (this is my

Nmap and Npcap development. Starting with our Npcap Windows packet
capturing/sending library, I'm happy to report that we quietly released
Version 1.70 in June and then 1.71 on August 19. They include many key
improvements:

Mozilla Firefox only stores up to 1024 HSTS entries Konstantin (Aug 29)
# VULNERABILITY
Mozilla Firefox only stores up to 1024 HSTS entries.
When the limit is reached, Firefox discards entries based on their age
and recent visits to the domain in question.

# IMPACT
The HSTS header ensures that once a page has been visited, the browser
will attempt to connect to it using HTTPS.
The limit means that Firefox effectively does not store any further HSTS
headers, as new ones permanently override each other.

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Michael Lazin (Aug 19)
I would test it using sha256 instead of md5 before you jump to conclusions
but dnf doesn't use https by default and you need to jump through hoops to
get it working. I would say if you are a fedora user open a feature
request for https for dnf with the fedora team if you can repeat this with
sha256.

Peace,

Michael

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Matthew Fernandez (Aug 19)
If the VM had no access to the internet even a retry would fail, no?

If an attempted update based on a delta-rpm fails, dnf falls back to
downloading a full rpm and using this instead.

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Adrean Boyadzhiev (Aug 19)
Probably a completely different root cause, but I have noticed similar
behavior with a Debian-based distribution during `# apt upgrade` and
when there are many packages for update and the internet connection is
not so good. I haven't investigated, but my assumptions were either Race
Conditions within verification logic or some logic related to the timestamp.

To my knowledge `md5` should be ok for calculating hash sums, many
prefer it...

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 Katie M via Dailydave (Aug 15)
The policy-making trend deserves its own thread.

Dave & I and a few others have done “deep policy work” which requires years
(not just a few meetings and summits) of pushing extremely unpopular
contrarian technical facts over desired policy outcomes that were drafted
by people who often don’t fundamentally understand how computers work.

The policy tail has been wagging the technology dog for a while & it’s all

What was cool for me was DEF CON HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) --

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 Matt Suiche via Dailydave (Aug 15)
You are on point on so many levels. I've also been noticing a significant
culture shift.

There is definitely a strong focus on policy-making, which now promotes
conformity in thought and dismiss critical perspectives. These are the very
things that the hacker culture once opposed, but they also now represent
what policy-making is. We could even say that policy-making is now molding
the hacker culture, rather than the other way around, and...

The Vegas security conferences used to feel like diving into a river. While
yes, you networked and made deals and talked about exploits, you also felt
for currents and tried to get a prediction of what the future held. A lot
of this was what the talks were about. But you went to booths to see what

I've been using Joern with Ghidra for a couple years. For my needs, the
ghidra2cpg project is too limiting. It works at the disassembly level by
mapping various CPU instructions for a few common archs via a
pre-patched bundled Ghidra build (ie, no custom loaders, processor
definitions, etc). As a work-around, I've hacked together an alternative
(worse) approach that operates on the decompiler level: a Ghidra script

Re: Replacement of Allan McRae on linux-distros for Arch Linux Solar Designer (Sep 01)
Hi,

This is a fine request, but in general requests for changes in who is
subscribed for an already-subscribed distro don't need to be on
oss-security, which is why we're not seeing a lot of them in here.

I'll take this one off-list.

Replacement of Allan McRae on linux-distros for Arch Linux Levente Polyak (Sep 01)
Hi,

I'd like to request to replace one of our representatives on the
linux-distros list for Arch Linux.

Please replace:
- Allan McRae <allan () archlinux org> [0]

With:
- Frederik Schwan <freswa () archlinux org> [1]
GPG: 05C7775A9E8B977407FE08E69D4C5AA15426DA0A

The reason for this is that Allan has stepped down from most of his
current duties and will focus solely on Pacman development, so we'd like
to subscribe...

Hi Willy,

Of course, I understand this. (linux-)distros isn't a send-and-forget
list, and this does exclude its usage by people who are aware of this
fact and only want or have time to send one message without staying on
top of the issue afterwards. The obvious alternative would be
vendor-sec alike, without specific rules, which had its other problems.

In practice, no matter what we say in the policy, sometimes the reporter

Hi Alexander,

I didn't notice.

It's possible, but I don't have data to back this, what I suspect instead
is that reporting security issues is so stressful for anyone (constantly
making sure not to do a mistake nor to send to the wrong people) that once
they see the fix merged, they just relax and consider the job done, so
most likely linux-distros isn't even contacted at this point. And it's
very possible that some...

Do you plan to generate CVEs only for fixed issues, or also for unfixed

security of the Linux kernel.

The issues also need to actually be fixed. That will require that
somebody (Google, Red Hat, Oracle, or someone else) hires additional
people to do the work.

Much of the problem comes from generating a huge number of reports and

So you rely on oss-security, but not linux-distros. While every issue that
goes to one of the distros lists must later appear on oss-security, there
is no requirement that everything that comes to oss-security must first
appear on the distros lists, and much of it does not.

One possible outcome could be that issues are only sent to oss-security
once public and not to linux-distros during an embargo period - that would

Re: Lossy cogent p2p experiences? Lukas Tribus (Sep 01)
If you need to load-balance labelled IP traffic though, all your edge
devices would have to impose entropy/fat.

On the hand a workaround at the edge at least for EoMPLS would be to
enable control-word.

The initial and recurring packet loss occurs on any flow of more than ~140 Mbit. The fact that it’s loss-free under

Re: Lossy cogent p2p experiences? Saku Ytti (Sep 01)
Personally I would recommend turning off LSR payload heuristics,
because there is no accurate way for LSR to tell what the label is
carrying, and wrong guess while rare will be extremely hard to root
cause, because you will never hear it, because the person suffering
from it is too many hops away from problem being in your horizon.
I strongly believe edge imposing entropy or fat is the right way to
give LSR hashing hints.

Re: Lossy cogent p2p experiences? Mark Tinka (Sep 01)
Yes, this was our conclusion as well after moving our core to PTX1000/10001.

Mark.

Re: Lossy cogent p2p experiences? Saku Ytti (Sep 01)
PTX and MX as LSR look inside pseudowire to see if it's IP (dangerous
guess to make for LSR), CSR/ASR9k does not. So PTX and MX LSR will
balance your pseudowire even without FAT. I've had no problem having
ASR9k LSR balancing FAT PWs.

However this is a bit of a sidebar, because the original problem is
about elephant flows, which FAT does not help with. But adaptive
balancing does.

Re: Lossy cogent p2p experiences? Mark Tinka (Sep 01)
We didn't have much success with FAT when the PE was an MX480 and the P
a CRS-X (FP40 + FP140 line cards). This was regardless of whether the
core links were native IP/MPLS or 802.1AX.

When we switched our P devices to PTX1000 and PTX10001, we've had
surprisingly good performance of all manner of traffic across native
IP/MPLS and 802.1AX links, even without explicitly configuring FAT for
EoMPLS traffic.

But there's obviously not been enough thought applied to realize that
