Re: nmap to use with sudo (but prevent privilege escalation vectors) Robin Wood (Oct 29)
Hi
What about if you put nmap in a docker container and after each scan
threw the container away and built a new one for the next scan.

That way you could lock down as far as you can, but if the user
manages to read the shadow file or overwrite something important, they
would only destroy their instance and not affect the rest of the
system.

I will add though, my docker skills are very limited, so this is just
a vague idea that may be a load of...

Pullrequest #2720 Florian Schmitt via dev (Oct 29)
Hello nmap developers,

I added a pullrequest to the git repository #2720 concerning the version
name of zenmap.
see: https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2720
The version name 7.94SVN in the current repository leads to an invalid
version error in dist-packages of debian 12, so I changed it to 7.94+svn
which dist-packages accepts. This is the first pull request to an open
source project so feel free to correct me or give me information how to...

npcap + nmap/zenmap. I have no *nix machine at home right now, so I need nmap/zenmap on windows.

I have a freshly built, updated windows10 machine, rebuilt 3 months ago. It is an audio workstation with audio DSP

Nmap 7.94 for Windows not running in 32-bit OS Matthias Hettwer (Oct 29)
To Whom It Concerns,

Nmap 7.94 for Windows is apparently not running under Windows 10 32-bit OS. It installs fine but when starting the
application an error window pops up: This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the
software publisher. The name of the installer file is nmap-7.94-setup.exe . Did I download the wrong installer if I
need it to work in a Windows 32-bit OS?

Pull request - Service probe for MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) Gonçalo via dev (Oct 29)
Hello Nmap Team,

In April I have submitted the pull request below which adds a service probe for MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing). I've
attached the diff for your convenience.

This probe may help identify MSMQ exposure that may need to be remediated to avoid exploitation of CVE-2023-21554, aka
QueueJumper.

Can you please check and merge?

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

Last month we celebrated Nmap's 26th birthday and today I'm happy to share
another big milestone: Our Npcap driver for capturing and sending raw
packets on Windows turned 10 this year! From humble beginnings as a
security and modernization patch for the discontinued WinPcap project,
Npcap has become an indispensable component for both Nmap and Wireshark.
And it's used by hundreds of other software products and...

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...

what is reasoning? Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Oct 05)
There's not a huge paper I can find on the history of all the big bug
classes. I mean, there's probably not even a real definition of "bug class"
that would survive a drunken conversation between two CTF teams. But like,
screw it, "format strings" are a bug class. "Deserialization bugs" are a
bug class. "strcpy and friends" is a bug class. You know what I mean if

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

noticeable point where it became clear to really have an impact as a

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

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...

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...

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

Re: !CVE: A new platform to track security issues not acknowledged by vendors !CVE Team (Nov 10)
Hello Mike,

Thank you for sharing you views.

The !CVE project is not a static project where everything is defined the
very first day but an evolving project where all feedback is considered
to move towards improving the cybersecurity community.

We don't want to repeat what is already published in the

Hello all,

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We are always open to hear from
the community and happy to improve for the benefit of all of us.

We agree with Alexander on the exclamation mark issue, it can be tedious
when searching in the mailing lists and other sites. Also with David
that when possible it would be good to clearly distinct names even when
it's not legally required.

For those reasons, the !CVE team agreed to make the...

Re: !CVE: A new platform to track security issues not acknowledged by vendors Mike O'Connor (Nov 10)
!CVE Team,

CVEs might not be a "vendor". As just one example, the GitHub CNA
assigns tons of CVEs for open source software using GitHub's Security
Advisories, but I wouldn't think of GitHub as a "vendor" for all the
projects they host. How do you deal with CNAs who might be fine with
assigning a CVE, but tagging it as DISPUTED? Perhaps they don't want
to build deprecated decades-old code to scope out the...

Bluez, Intel wireless devices: Bluetooth Low Energy stuck in unresponsive state after repeated out of order transmission of packets Solar Designer (Nov 02)
Hi,

The below was brought to linux-distros back in March. Due to the nature
of the not-yet-researched issue, it was not actionable for distros,
especially not within a 14 days embargo. So was not a suitable thing to
bring to linux-distros. A linux-distros member promptly replied with:

started retroactively producing distros list statistics for 2023. When
I did, we tried...

No.

For 2023-01 I went with our existing procedure and requested an
assignment from MITRE, just as in all prior cases. I got the automated
acknowledgement (on Thursday 28th Sep, request ID 1532633). I've yet to
get a CVE assignment.

So for the next one, I tried a new approach. I filled out the GitHub

immediately. It looks like that was issued the next day.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks this is disconcerting? Bryan Fields (Nov 10)
I've brought this up before and the root servers are not really an IANA
function IIRC. There's not much governance over them, other than what's on
root-servers.org. I think a case could be made that C is in violation of the
polices on that page and RFC 7720 section 3.

Basically none of the root servers want to change this and thus it's never
going to change. DNS will fail and select another to talk to, and things will...

It could well be… I haven’t tried to research the hosting of the dnsviz.net <http://dnsviz.net/> web server I’m

somewhere else, for example).

However, c.root-servers.net <http://c.root-servers.net/> is not the problem being reported. The servers that provide

they want, even if it's from a shell ASN.

We have a tunnel set up to allow DNSViz to reach C-root, however
anything else single-homed on Cogent is unreachable to DNSViz via

Re: swedish dns zone enumerator Mark Andrews (Nov 02)
The QTYPE selection is always a matter of trade offs. NS is still
perfectly fine and it is the ONLY type that actually works in a number
of scenarios. Additionally the number of servers that don’t respond
to NS queries is remarkably small and decreasing. More of an issue
is garbage NS RRsets below the zone cut. A queries work well when there
is a zone cut at each label. They don’t work well when there isn’t
a zone cut. You get back...

Re: .US Harbors Prolific Malicious Link Shortening Service Eric Kuhnke (Nov 02)
Not specific to .US really

Pretty much every new gTLD that can be registered on "promotional" first
year prices below .com/.net/.org harbors a large than usual proportion of
phishing domains and suspicious things, because one of the sole operational
criteria for phishers registering disposable domains that might have useful
lives of only hours or a few days, in bulk, is the cost per unit.
