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:

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

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:

Minor firefox DoS - semi silently polluting ~/Downloads with files Georgi Guninski (Sep 05)
This is barely a DoS, but since Chrome has explicit protection
against it, we decided to disclose it.

If firefox user visits a specially crafted page, then firefox
may create many files in `~/Downloads`,
The user is notified about this in a small dialog, but there is
no option to stop the downloads.
The potential denial of service is that the user must manually
delete the created files and this might be PITA.

Vulnerabilities in Internet Radio auna IR-160 SE (UIProto) naphthalin via Fulldisclosure (Sep 04)
The internet radio device auna IR-160 SE has multiple vulnerabilities.
It uses the firmware UIProto, different versions of which can also be

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.

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.

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

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

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

[CVE-2023-42753] Array Indexing error in Linux kernel Kyle Zeng (Sep 22)
Hi there,

I recently found an array indexing vulnerability in the netfilter
ipset subsystem in Linux, which I believe is exploitable in some
systems because of its nature to increment/decrement pointers
out-of-bound.

I confirm that this bug affects at least upstream, 6.1, 5.15, and 5.10.

[Root Cause]
The root cause of the vulnerability is a missing IP_SET_HASH_WITH_NET0
macro in `ip_set_hash_netportnet`, which leads it to use the wrong

Oh, you're correct - this commit is _not_ in 1.3.2.

I was looking at the main branch and wrongly assumed that all I see in
there before:

commit ca332209cb5567c9b249c86788cb2dbf8847e760 (tag: v1.3.2, origin/1.3.2)

is in 1.3.2. However, that commit tagged 1.3.2 got into main as part of
a merge commit, by which point main already had other commits including

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Michael Thomas (Sep 22)
I'm still confused. Did it require the telnet users to actually take

Telnet sessions where often initiated from half duplex terminals. Pushing that flow control across the network helped
those users.

DId that ever actually occur over the internet such that telnet would

it was something of a pain to implement.

RE: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Vasilenko Eduard via NANOG (Sep 22)
Hi Dave,
You did not tell: is it interactive? Because we could use big buffers and convert jitter to latency (some STBs have
sub-second buffers).
Then jitter would effectively become Zero (more precise: not a problem), and we deal only with latency consequences.
Hence, your question is not about jitter, it is about latency.

By all 5 (or 6?) senses, the Human is a 25ms resolution machine (limited by the animal part of our brain: limbic
system)....

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Michael Thomas (Sep 21)
When I wrote my first implementation of telnet ages ago, i was both
amused and annoyed about the go-ahead option. Obviously patterned after
audio meat-space protocols, but I was never convinced it wasn't a
solution in search of a problem. I wonder if CDMA was really an
outgrowth of those protocols?

But it's my impression that gaming is by far more affected by latency
and thus jitter buffers for voice. Don't some ISP's...

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Dave Taht (Sep 21)
Yes. I talked to this point in my apnic session here:
https://blog.apnic.net/2020/01/22/bufferbloat-may-be-solved-but-its-not-over-yet/

I called it "riding the TCP sawtooth"- the compensating voip delay becomes
equal to the maximum size of the buffer, and thus controls the jitter that
way. Sometimes, to unreasonable extents, like 800ms in your example.

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Dave Taht (Sep 21)
Thank you all for your answers here, on the poll itself, and for
papers like this one. The consensus seems to be settling around 30ms for
VOIP with a few interesting outliers and viewpoints.

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? William Herrin (Sep 21)
Hi Tom,

Jitter doesn't necessarily cause artifacts in the audio. Modern
applications implement what's called a "jitter buffer." As the name
implies, the buffer collects and delays audio for a brief time before
playing it for the user. This allows time for the packets which have
been delayed a little longer (jitter) to catch up with the earlier
ones before they have to be played for the user. Smart implementations
can adjust...

Re: what is acceptible jitter for voip and videoconferencing? Eric Kuhnke (Sep 21)
Artifacts in audio are a product of packet loss or jitter resulting in
codec issues issues leading to human subject perceptible audio anomalies,
not so much latency by itself. Two way voice is remarkably NOT terrible on
a 495ms RTT satellite based two-way geostationary connection as long as
there is little or no packet loss.
