Post Quantum hackathon and nmap Loganaden Velvindron (Dec 09)
Hi Folks,

I'm logan from the cyberstorm.mu team. We have opened several PRs for
nmap to improve support for Post Quantum algorithms:

https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2977
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2978
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2987

We are working on other PRs for PQ which we will send in due time.
Feedback is welcome and we are willing to commit time to improve our
PRs.

Kind regards,

Re: Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Daniel Miller (Oct 31)
Ramu,

Nmap's snmp-sysdescr script currently uses a 5-second timeout and attempts
only once to send the SNMPv1 request. We agree that this could be improved
to provide better reliability. I will investigate further and respond again
with specific suggestions.

Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Ramu Burra via dev (Oct 31)
Hi Daniel & NMAP team,

I hope this email finds you well.

I'm writing to inquire about the specific behaviour of Nmap's SNMP-SYSDescr query in situations where the target device
responds intermittently.

I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any specific configuration options or techniques that can be
employed to increase the likelihood of successful SNMP-SYSDescr queries, especially when dealing with...

NSE scripts for SNMPv3? Johan Kuuse (Oct 03)
Hi, my first mail to this list,

I have used (and modified) quite a few NSE scripts for SNMP.
Anyhow, AFAIK, all SNMP scripts (except "snmp-info") are limited to SNMPv1

NPCAP 1.60 high CPU usage with pcap filter that does not pass anything (Win10) Vladimir Soldatov (Sep 17)
Hi guys,

I've a setup (Win10, Intel X520, NPCAP 1.60) with relatively high traffic
around 700 Mbit/s and I am trying to test the following cases:
1. Capture everything with empty pcap filter and just print stats with some
period calculating captured data size
2. Capture nothing with an intentionally created filter that does not match
the received traffic at all.
3. Capture some subset of traffic like 10%.

In all the cases, CPU usage...

How to make a minimal HTTPS request with ncat --ssl with explicit HTTP content? Ciro Santilli OurBigBook via dev (Sep 17)
Hello, I was trying for fun to make an HTTPS request with explicit hand-written HTTP content.

Something analogous to:

printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n' | ncat example.com 80

but for HTTPS. After Googling one of the tools that I found that seemed it might do the job was ncat from the nmap
project, so I tried:

Full Disclosure — A public, vendor-neutral forum for detailed discussion of vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques, as well as tools, papers, news, and events of interest to the community. The relaxed atmosphere of this quirky list provides some comic relief and certain industry gossip. More importantly, fresh vulnerabilities sometimes hit this list many hours or days before they pass through the Bugtraq moderation queue.

Other Excellent Security Lists

Bugtraq — The premier general security mailing list. Vulnerabilities are often announced here first, so check frequently!

Security Basics — A high-volume list which permits people to ask "stupid questions" without being derided as "n00bs". I recommend this list to network security newbies, but be sure to read Bugtraq and other lists as well.

Penetration Testing — While this list is intended for "professionals", participants frequenly disclose techniques and strategies that would be useful to anyone with a practical interest in security and network auditing.

Info Security News — Carries news items (generally from mainstream sources) that relate to security.

Firewall Wizards — Tips and tricks for firewall administrators

IDS Focus — Technical discussion about Intrusion Detection Systems. You can also read the archives of a previous IDS list

Web App Security — Provides insights on the unique challenges which make web applications notoriously hard to secure, as well as attack methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery, and more.

Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip. It was started by ImmunitySec founder Dave Aitel and many security luminaries participate. Many posts simply advertise Immunity products, but you can't really fault Dave for being self-promotional on a list named DailyDave.

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Sean Heelan via Dailydave (Jan 13)
As it happens, I’ve found the most effective way to use LLMs is to de-anthropomorphise them entirely and treat them
very like fuzzers (large scale generation of results, lots of false positives/nonsense, filtered by some oracle).

The “conversation with an AI” approach where you imagine yourself as having a single artificial brain to interact with
is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Don A. Bailey via Dailydave (Jan 12)
I designed one of the first working fuzzers (albeit unintentionally) back

code. It, however, worked - badly - but it worked. I was heavily flamed,
however, because as you stated - it was not hip. It only attacked
environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,
in the 90's and early 00's, we had no shortage of local suid-based...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Thomas Dullien via Dailydave (Jan 12)
Hey,

I have one quibble: We are using "reasoning" in a qualitative, not
descriptive, form here -- "fuzzing is or is not reasoning", "LLMs reason or
do not reason". I am not sure this is helpful. Fuzzing is empirically
successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and
smashes two stones together until they throw sparks does not, once the fire
burns, need to justify that 'stones perform...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Darren Bounds via Dailydave (Jan 12)
Everything old is new and the way we reason is the same way LLMs reason. It's
not about looking for the same problem the same way it's about going to
searching for that flaw the same way with unlimited (nearly) resources.

Traditional human-led vulnerability research and discovery is, today, a short

(the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 11)
Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me
recently. You have to think to remember, in other words. This is hard to
grasp for a lot of people because they *think *they have *memories*. They
wrongly think memory is a noun instead of a verb, which is ok in philosophy
and psychology but in cutting edge computer science we have to be precise
about these sorts of things.

part of the CVE program.

I do agree with Greg K-H that open source projects should become CNAs.
But do want to note that missing elements of the CVE when submitting
allows CISA-ADP to 'vulnrich' your data. Here is where
misinterpretation and/or lack of understanding by CISA confuses...

Re: Node.js EOL CVEs: CVE-2025-23087, CVE-2025-23088, CVE-2025-23089 Greg KH (Jan 24)
I think that's a great idea for projects to start doing (especially ones
that are a CNA which I recommend all open source projects become.)

And as for "noise", I think that will just be a "drop in the bucket" of
the overall CVE assignment numbers these days as just how many different
software versions are going EOL each month?

thanks,

Re: Layer 2 Transport Mark Tinka (Jan 24)
In an old life, we ran L2TPv3 to extend a DCN, on Cisco routers. It was
simple, and worked.

I do use WireGuard (on pfSense) to create a DCN over the public
Internet. Very easy to setup, very reliable. Even run OSPF and iBGP over
WireGuard with much success.

I probably wouldn't sell it as a transport service, though.

Thank God :-).

It is tough to argue against VXLAN or anything over UDP, but another
workhorse of L2 services, especially for cheaper equipment and needing to
go over the top was L2TPv3.

Some interesting stuff was done by Wireguard and Softether, but I am not
sure it counts as service. MPLS-TP is still listed in MEF specs, but the
hopefully equipment supporting that is collecting dust on shelves
somewhere.

Apologies, it appears I was somewhat dense when I first read it. Indeed, it implicitly does so. Of
