Re:New OS fingerprint: China Unicom ONT/ONU (Realtek/Boa) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

I'd like to submit service fingerprints for a China Unicom GPON ONT (model PT927G) that I found in my home network.
This device runs a Linux-based firmware (kernel 3.18.24) and exposes several services.

**Device Information**:
- Model: PT927G
- Vendor: China Unicom (customized)
- Hardware hint: SMB share comment mentions "Realtek", suggesting a Realtek chipset.

**Service Fingerprints**:
1. **HTTP (port...

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi developers,

I'd like to add a service fingerprint for port 37443/tcp on the Huawei AX3 router.

This port runs SSL/TLS and requires client certificate authentication (mTLS). When connecting with a self-signed client
certificate, the server rejects it with a "unknown ca" alert, indicating that it verifies the client certificate
against a trusted CA.

**Certificate details:**

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous submissions (OS fingerprint and NSE script for the Huawei AX3), I've conducted a full port
scan and discovered two additional services that may help refine the service fingerprint database.

**1. Port 37215/tcp – UPnP**
- Service identified as: `Huawei ATP gateway upnpd`
- This seems to be already correctly matched in `nmap-service-probes`. I just wanted to confirm its presence.

**2. Port...

Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Jul 31)
Hi Nmap team,

I've encountered a clear OS detection misidentification that I believe should be corrected.

**Device in question**:
- A Huawei home router (MAC OUI: 30:A9:98 -> Huawei Device)
- Open ports: 53, 80, 443 (typical router/AP, not a headless switch)
- Running: Linux-based firmware (likely 3.18.24)

**Current incorrect result**:
Nmap 7.99 reports it as: "Netgear GS108Tv3, GS110Tv3, or GS308T switch (Linux 3.18.24)"...

[PATCH] nselib/bitcoin: add address classification helpers (refs #2857, PR #3371) Melo via dev (May 25)
PR #3371 adds three functions to nselib/bitcoin.lua:

[PATCH 0/5] ALPN-based HTTP/2 service detection improvements Urval Kheni (Apr 14)
Hi,

This patch series introduces ALPN-based improvements to service detection
for TLS services.

It adds support for extracting the negotiated ALPN protocol and uses
"h2" as a conservative fallback signal to infer HTTP over TLS when
service detection fails.

This improves detection of HTTP/2-only services, which return binary
responses not recognized by existing probes.

The changes are structured as follows:

Bug Report: ssl-enum-ciphers fails (EOF) on CloudFront/ECDSA targets supporting TLS 1.2 Jack Seredyniecki via dev (Apr 14)
Hello nmap dev team,

I am reporting a false negative where ssl-enum-ciphers fails to detect TLS
1.2 on a CloudFront target (itwisegroup.com:443) that uses an ECDSA
certificate and Post-Quantum hybrid key exchange (X25519MLKEM768).
While sslscan and openssl confirm TLS 1.2 is active, Nmap reports only TLS

[PATCH] Support Linux capabilities for non-root raw packet scanning Ali Norouzi via dev (Apr 14)

Fix for issue #3326 advait deshmukh (Apr 14)
Issue link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3326>
Pull request link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3337>
I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output
appears to be intentional. The ipv4 value being shown seems to refer to the
next header, i.e., the protocol of the packet encapsulated within the outer
packet, which in this case is IPv6.
Since the user has explicitly specified -6 in the command, it...

Npcap Version 1.82 Released with VLAN Tagging and More Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 28)
Dear Nmap Community,

In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have
released Version 1.82 of our Npcap Windows packet capture and transmission
driver. It builds upon the recent 1.81 release to add support for VLAN
tagging. This allows you to select for packets directed to a certain VLAN
or just inspect the VLAN headers on any packets received. It's especially
useful for Wireshark users. You can also now send...

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...

I like the idea of having a software supply chain that people can pay into
that basically funds a universal bug bounty system for anything that
matters.

You can put systems in place that utilize zero knowledge exploitability
proofs to automate bounty triage, so it doesn't even need to be run by a
central trusted entity. As the bounty markets stabilize, what you're left
with is a software ecosystem where anyone can build what they need...

Historically, “we’ve” moved the bar in defense.

preauthenticated sessions
- Everything has ~40 dependencies, each of which has ~40 dependencies, etc, which, combined with a published CVE rate

Re: Defense ? Alfonso De Gregorio via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard
to bridge also in the presence of greater degrees of automation that
AI buys us, because, at this stage, we want humans to be in the loop –
and for good reasons – and, also, cause we are not going to grow the
skillset faster than the attack surface, I am afraid.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I will take a bite
regardless: those imbalances are a byproduct of the...

Reduce complexity, duplication, and scope in your infrastructure. Your
developers and infrastructure staff would need to agree on standardized

scope, and make them accountable for making sure adding that level of
complexity led to business value that was greater than that overhead (vs,

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me
thinks that you're just not going to patch your way out of the problem. But
the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a
difference seems pretty small? Like even converting every Linux binary to

maintain and support that code base, which I don't know that you could.

So I just got back from "Offensive AI Conference" in San Diego and it was a

Re: AI slops from Eve Ellenor Bjornsdottir (Sep 10)
Hi Jeff,

One and a half small nits:

In this context, the correct replacement is «which», not «it». «Which» is - in this instance - the inanimate relative
pronoun for the nominative and accusative cases in English, replacing the animate «who». («Whose» is the genitive for
both the animate and inanimate.)

Boats also do not have moral compasses, and people see fit to refer to them as «she».

Re: AI slops from Eve Jeffrey Walton (Sep 10)
Hi Alexander,

One small nit:

Please refer to computer algorithms as "it", not "who."

Please refer to computer algorithms as "it", not "he" or "she."

A computer algorithm is not alive and does not have a moral compass.
Do not personify it. It is merely a piece of property like a brick.

Hey Matt -

We're not receiving those routes from them over peering, and it looks like
they're not propagating widely to their upstreams or peers.
I checked today's RIB dumps, and see the routes in RouteViews (amsix,
ix-br.gru, saopaulo), only with paths "271253 27421" and "1000 27421" from
their own peer IPs toward the collectors. I'm not sure what they (or

Re: ASN "Hijacked" Bryton Herdes via NANOG (Sep 11)
I've discussed this with a few people with the same ideas, and I can think
of few reasons not to ship it as long as it's done right.

It is appealing to get some value from the ASPAs as early as possible, and
pruning bad members from an expanded AS-SET tree could offer that.

- look at peeringDB

b) resolve AS-SET into an ASN tree

Re: ASN "Hijacked" Tom Beecher via NANOG (Sep 11)
Matt-

This is semi common occurrence. Your best option is what you have done,
reach out to the networks they are advertising to, and keep going upstream
until you reach someone who is responsive and can take action.

Getting your as_paths in ASPA is nice, but ASPA is not widely implemented,
and it's still pretty trivial to bypass.

Good luck.

Re: ASN "Hijacked" Althaf Navaskhan via NANOG (Sep 11)
Hi Matt,

If AS27421 is being originated from an unexpected network in Brazil, I
would recommend first confirming the exact prefixes and BGP paths being
advertised by the suspected ASN.

You can check the announcements and AS paths using tools such as BGPStream,
RIPEstat, or HE BGP Toolkit. It would also be worth checking whether the
affected prefixes are covered by valid RPKI ROAs. If they are, and the
Brazilian announcement is RPKI Invalid,...

The official Snort3 github repo has had no new commits since almost 4
months. Last commit was on 24-Apr-2026 (Snort3 rel 3.12.2.0). Has Cisco
made any announcement regarding change in status of Snort3 project which I
may have missed?

Thanks,
Dheeraj
