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.

why not a argument (like gdb's -q) to not show banner?
like nmap -q ..etc
thanks

Mike,
Thanks for this fix! I committed a slightly smaller diff in r38705 and
credited you. This bug had been in here since 2018, so I added some tests
to dns.lua to catch similar issues in the future.

hello André Coelho (Jun 04)
Hello, instead of port scanning and operating system discovery, discover
the o.s , and based on that, use port scanner specially to that o.s?
also i got
sudo nmap -sS 192.168.1.254 -Pn --disable-arp-ping
Stats: 0:00:01 elapsed; 0 hosts completed (0 up), 0 undergoing Host

So nmap is not skipping host discovery (-Pn)
but if i use -n option, it goes straight to

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...

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.

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.

So last week at offensivecon I watched a talk on Fuzzilli (

own intermediate language which it then compiled to Javascript. I just
assumed it was, like most fuzzers, mutating the javascript directly (f.e....

Performance thoughts Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Apr 28)
So my first thought is that performance measurement tools seem exactly
aimed at a lot of security problems but performance people are extremely
reluctant <https://aus.social/@brendangregg/110276319669838295> to admit
that because of the drama involved in the security market. Which is very
smart of them! :)

So one thing I have as a "lessons learned" from the past 20 years is that
security is not a proactive sport. In fact, we are all experts at running

Re: Stack overflow in imagemagick coders/tiff.c Bob Friesenhahn (Jun 14)
It seems suspicious that (after looking at the code) this is obviously
a heap overflow (of the 'tile_pixels' allocation) rather than a stack
overflow. Whenever something is mischaracterized, it becomes suspect.
The overflow checking while computing 'extent' still seems suspect and
is worthy of more inspection, especially on 32-bit systems.

I've toyed with getting it which I think I can do here in rural

didn't change the rate plans from DSL (given that it's an older
population here, I doubt that any new over subscription would be much
problem). But the fact of the matter is that we don't seem to ever be in

I should have been clearer... the lack of competition in many markets is

What I was trying to say is that should a town or village have the

No, Virus total does not flag anything when pasting the Rules URL. When uploading the file though, 4 vendors flag the
file as malicious as shown in the attached screenshot.

Is Virustotal reports the same?...
Re: Snort 3 rules - Antivirus Jayesh Patel via Snort-sigs (Jun 13)
I believe this is normal, since AV detections based on signatures can trigger alert when they see pattern in Snort
Rules. I had this alert earlier, it would help to create a folder and exclude that from defender scans. Also, verify
the checksum of the file downloaded from Snort, just to be on safe side.
Thanks,
Jayesh

Re: Snort 3 rules - Antivirus Joel Esler via Snort-sigs (Jun 12)
I would probably file a false positive report with Microsoft for Defender. Snort rules should not trigger an AV
signature.

Snort 3 rules - Antivirus Rostanin Gleb SBR DIRCS via Snort-sigs (Jun 12)
Dear Snort community,
I recently registered to be able to download the Snort 3 rules. Unfortunately, when downloading, Windows defender
started complaining that a Virus was detected. Is this normal behavior or am I currently being attacked 😃?
Kind regards

Machine learning using Snort Ghislain Hounmenou via Snort-devel (Jun 08)
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. Currently, I'm working on
developing a machine learning plugin for Snort. My idea is to enhance
Snort's capabilities by adding behavior-based (anomaly) detection in
addition to signature-based detection. For this purpose, I trained a
machine learning model using PCA for dimensionality reduction and SVM as
the classifier, using the CICIDS2017 dataset. Now, I would like to know how
I can...

Re: NEED HELP FOR WORK Ghislain Hounmenou via Snort-devel (Jun 02)
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you very much for your feedback. It is exactly for my master's thesis
that I am doing the work and I have to finish in the next two weeks. I want
you to send me your brief first, and I will read. How are we going to do
the work? Can I already share with you the code of my model that you will
see? And also to see with me how I will do the integration. Thank you.

Re: NEED HELP FOR WORK Hazen Valliant-Saunders via Snort-devel (Jun 01)
Good Morning Ghislain;
I wrote my Masters on this subject; and consult in this field.
AI / ML is very broad ( since you have a model we'd need to figure out how
to code up the classifier and then run Dev and integration testing on it)
we would have to use the Plugin API / develop a plugin for Snort.
We'd have to work on integrating it as a Plugin for Snort (which is where
we'd need to develop said model / plugin )
I will be...
