SecLists.Org Security Mailing List Archive

Any hacker will tell you that the latest news and exploits are not found on any web site—not even Insecure.Org. No, the cutting edge in security research is and will continue to be the full disclosure mailing lists such as Bugtraq. Here we provide web archives and RSS feeds (now including message extracts), updated in real-time, for many of our favorite lists.

Nmap PR #2909 Vahagn Vardanian via dev (Sep 17)
Hello there,
My name is Vahagn, and I am the co-founder and CTO of RedRays.
A few weeks ago, we created a pull request to Nmap Github to add a new
check for detecting the most popular information disclosure in SAP systems.

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:

Automatic protocol selection? Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (Jul 06)
Hi all

Sometimes I use nmap in my scripts and since I'm in a mixed environment, where most of the hosts are dual protocol, not
all are, and some are only on IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the type of equipment and their function. Most other software,
will just default to a single protocol, typically IPv6, and then fall back to the other if the first fails. At first I
thought using the -6 flag would do so (as it says 'Enable IPv6...

Fix ndiff.bat issue on Windows georges.zwing (Jul 04)
Hi,

I created this PR <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2865> to fix this
issue <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/2733> running ndiff.bat on
Windows. It also removes the requirement to have Python installed separately
from Zenmap.

But I don't see the Travis CI build tests mentioned in

look somewhere else?

Nmap 7.95 released: OS and service detection signatures galore! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (May 05)
Dear Nmap Community,

I just arrived in San Francisco for the RSA conference and am delighted to
announce our Nmap Version 7.95 release! I'm most excited that we finally
tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.
We're not talking about dozens or hundreds of them-we processed more than
6,500 fingerprints!

For OS detection, we added 336 signatures, bringing the new total to 6,036.
Additions include iOS 15...

Npcap Celebrates its 10th Anniversary In Space! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Oct 05)

Last month we celebrated Nmap's 26th birthday and today I'm happy to share

Npcap has become an indispensable component for both Nmap and Wireshark.
And it's used by hundreds of other software products and...

Dear Nmap community,

Today is Nmap’s 26th birthday, which reminded me that I hadn’t yet

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

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.

they represent not just what is contained in the code as some static tree

Re: LLMs and refusals Jason Ross via Dailydave (Jul 25)
It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped
and seems to perform roughly on par with llama3 and gpt4o, so the next wave
of fine tuned versions like dolphin are almost certainly coming soon.

OpenAI also has announced free fine tuning of gpt4o mini until late
September (up to 2m tokens/day) so it may be possible to fine tune around
some of its guardrails for a reasonable cost.

bandwidth. This is actually useful in some specific niche cases.

Why would a single homed customer not take a default route?

Re: Question about the use of NO_EXPORT in BGP route announcements Steve Gibbard (Sep 20)
The supernet piece of this is key.

NO_EXPORT can be a useful traffic engineering tool if you want to give a nearby network more specific instructions
about how to reach you than you want to give the Internet as a whole. But by its nature, it creates reachability
issues — any network who uses your NO_EXPORT prefix won’t export ANY prefix to your address space. If there’s a
supernet that covers the smaller NO_EXPORT prefix, that handles...

Well I have no idea why do you say that all such customers always have

Re: Question about the use of NO_EXPORT in BGP route announcements Justin Krejci (Sep 20)
Right. Just because someone with whom you have an eBGP connection established is also a transit provider doesn't mean
you have to or even want to make use of transiting into other networks across that connection.

We've done exactly this to avoid trombone routing to get to a set of customers.

Re: Question about the use of NO_EXPORT in BGP route announcements Tarko Tikan (Sep 20)
hey,

This can be very harmful. Consider IP transit customer of said transit
provider that is single homed to said transit provider.

Transit provider will select the aggregate prefix with no-export as best
and will not propagate it to its customers while there can be
alternative routes available between the prefix owner and transit
provider. This will result loss of connectivity for those singlehomed
customers.

Re: Question about the use of NO_EXPORT in BGP route announcements Mark Tinka (Sep 20)
An obvious use-case would be when there is on-net content or eyeballs in
the transit network that you seek, but expressly require that they do
not offer transit for your traffic toward their other eBGP neighbors.

Re: Error when running snort built-in rules. Russ Combs (rucombs) via Snort-sigs (Sep 13)
It looks you are giving Snort 2 rules to Snort 3. Furthermore, the unknown keywords listed are not allowed in builtin

If you still have issues post more details so we can get it sorted.
