Where does nmap handle SIGXCPU? public1020 via dev (Sep 15)
I'm running nmap on a system with limited cpu time, and nmap sometimes exits with CPU time limit exceed.

But from the source code I didn't see anywhere handling SIGXCPU, where is the relevant source code then?

Is it handled by a third-party library?

Running nmap on a memory limited environment public1020 via dev (Sep 13)
Hi there,

I'm trying to run nmap on a memory limited server (with ulimit on memory and cpu), I will need to tune the nmap startup
parameters to reduce resource usage.

- What should I use to do that?
- What is the default value of min-hostgroup and scan delay parametr?_______________________________________________

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:
- Recursive Basic...

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 26th Birthday Announcement: Version 7.94 Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Dear Nmap community,

Today is Nmap’s 26th birthday, which reminded me that I hadn’t yet
announced our Nmap 7.94 release from May. And it’s a great one! The biggest
improvement was the Zenmap and Ndiff upgrades from the obsolete Python 2
language to Python 3 on all platforms. Big thanks to Daniel Miller, Jakub
Kulík, Brian Quigley, Sam James, Eli Schwartz, Romain Leonard, Varunram
Ganesh, Pavel Zhukov, Carey Balboa, and Hasan Aliyev for...

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
first post of the year), I'm happy to share some great progress on both
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:

* Performance: A major overhaul of Packet.dll sped up routines that...

DARPA AI Challenge! Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Aug 29)
I've been working with LLMs for a bit, and also looking at the DARPA Cyber

Hey all,

two quick notes:

1) I am deeply thankful for Katie and Dave, and many others (you know who

have spent time sitting in meetings that did not concern them until they
had a voice in meetings that did. I have been extremely ineffective in all

from being on the wrong side of the Atlantic,...

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 Phil Neray via Dailydave (Aug 15)
As always, it was the speakers themselves at Defcon that made the talks
memorable. For example, I caught the last half of the presentation by Joe
Sullivan, former US federal prosecutor and Uber CISO (also former CISO at
Facebook and Cloudflare; also worked at eBay and PayPal).

The session was in the [new?] track called "War Stories — On the Record"

simply configuring routers, firewalls, and security software. There was a
noticeable point where it became clear to really have an impact as a
security engineer required software development--whether it was creating
tools, reviewing code, or building security into products/services. And

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

Don't mistake the industry culture for the hacker culture. For every bit
of "glocalization of cyber" and the industry demands of mastering
products, there are people who are still picking up soldering irons,
building robots, making off cloud home automation, inventing new things and
international fun projects like the stack-chan personal robots. I'm not
saying you are wrong, however adapting to the industry to get the jobs...

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 A.P. Delchi via Dailydave (Aug 15)
What was cool for me was DEF CON HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) --
seeing the members of the community that are hacking away at things like
mobility scooters, using eye-tracking keyboards , and the general community
that is building in that regard. DEF CON this year had 3 rooms assigned to
assisting / presenting to ADA needs.

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...

BlackHat and Defcon 2023 Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Aug 14)
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
was selling, or what people thought was selling, at least.

But it doesn't matter anymore what the talks are about. The talks are about...

Re: Tooling, Graph Databases, etc. Jason Lash via Dailydave (Jun 28)
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
that just...

Hi Alexander,

Just as a quick heads up on this, I discussed with Greg there and proposed
to send a patch proposal to rework that part to take into account your now
relaxed rules. My goal is to let the reporter decide on their own, and let
them decide what they want to do after checking the linux-distros rules.
There could be a good motivation for some reporters to go there because a
number of them are first-timers who are seeking a Curriculum...

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Solar Designer (Oct 04)
Thank you! This is helpful, but unfortunately doesn't appear (or at
least not to me) to address the case of the remainder in its own
register being overwritten or not by a smaller DIV that doesn't produce
it in that register. Of course, under the hood it's at least a rename
register rather than the RDX that programs see, and it's supposedly
getting a value copied from a DIV unit's internal register. So the
question is...

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Solar Designer (Oct 04)
Regarding AMD not intending to provide a microcode mitigation:

Possibly not terribly hard, but (with my also too limited understanding)
probably not in any of the ways you suggested.

That's false.

Zen1 is still found in major clouds. The AMD security bulletin:

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7007.html

specifically lists "Datacenter AMD EPYC 7001 Processors" as affected,

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Jean Luc Picard (Oct 04)
No intent? It wouldn't be terribly hard, they could just RNG over the
register afterwards or run a 1/1 to nullify any data left therein. The
latter would require control lines to be in place, the latter would just
mean extending the microcode instruction. That said I could understand the
want to depricate zen1 support entirely, everyone upgraded when they could
it was super super cheap to do so & there weren't really any...

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Andrew Cooper (Oct 03)
I've spent a while trying to reason about this...  I'm not sure I'm any
the wiser, but here goes.

In order for values to be forwarded to dependent operations, the
register file entries allocated to the answer(s) of the DIV must have
been marked as ready.  (i.e. it's not sufficient for it to "just" be
left on the output of the divider because there won't be a special path
sideways to other execute units.)...

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Solar Designer (Oct 03)
In general, kind of yes - it could have been that kind of thing.

More specifically, no - in this case, only kernel and hypervisor
and system configuration (disable SMT) mitigations are expected. No
userspace mitigations, other than maybe specific algorithms avoiding
integer divide operations based on secrets where they can. While AMD
maybe could fix this in microcode (or maybe not, or maybe with
unacceptable performance penalty), they...

Re: Xen Security Advisory 439 v1 (CVE-2023-20588) - x86/AMD: Divide speculative information leak Jean Luc Picard (Oct 03)
Hi, just dropping in, is this the kind of thing to where the userspace &
kernel layers need mitigation until there's microcode mitigation? There's
bound to be more of these issues cropping up now that cstates are finally
working, meaning more people will daily-drive rather than homelab.

Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Mark Tinka (Oct 04)
I think the fact that RIR's allocate very large IPv6 address space to
their members may well be what is driving this.

Historically, network operators do enjoy de-aggregating address space.
One can get significantly more /48's out of a /32 (or shorter) than they
would /24's out of any IPv4 allocation they acquired.

One way to control this escalation is to shorten the maximum prefix
length that all operators are willing to...

Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Mark Tinka (Oct 04)
Were you expecting it to be lower than IPv4?

Mark.

Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Mark Tinka (Oct 04)
Expecting that the Internet would ever operate at maximum de-aggregation
is unrealistic. There are too many checkpoints to make that a feasible
possibility.

It's not an outcome I would spend any brain cycles on, unless as an
academic exercise.

Mark.

Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Crist Clark (Oct 04)
Been resisting adding to this thread...

But if the assumption is that networks will always eventually totally
deaggregate to the maximum, we're screwed. Routing IPv4 /32s would be
nothing. The current practice of accepting /48s could swell to about 2^(48
- 3) = 2^45 = 35184372088832.

What will prevent unrestricted growth of the IPv6 table if operators push
everything out to /48 "to counter hijacks" or other misguided reasons?

And it's even possible, on most phones I have used, to turn Airplane mode on,

still precluding WEA/CMAS alerts.

If you don't want any interruptions, you can set your phone to "Airplane
Mode." Airplane Mode disables reception of all Wireless Emergency Alerts
for as long as the phone stays in Airplane Mode.

It must be nice to live in a country that uses the priorities! Canada's Alert Ready decided that people can't be
trusted and sends ALL alerts at the "national alert" priority.

(When Canada last tested in May, I had my phone on silent - the alert vibrated but did not make noise - which is a
slight improvement, I guess).
