Wierd issue: nmap/nping misses (some) icmp replies John Robson via dev (Dec 14)
Hi all,

I'm running into a weird issue that I can't quite get my head around.
As part of monitoring devices we use nmap to issue icmp echo requests
to a list of target devices, and obviously the lack of a reply is
worthy of generating an event/alert/alarm.

I am currently seeing sporadic events from a variety of target
devices, which clear on the next polling cycle (i.e. we miss one
response but get the following one sixty seconds...

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...

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

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...

cpio privilege escalation vulnerability via setuid files in cpio archive Georgi Guninski (Jan 08)
cpio privilege escalation vulnerability via setuid files in cpio archive

Happy New Year, let in 2024 happiness be with you! :)

When extracting archives cpio (at least version 2.13) preserves
the setuid flag, which might lead to privilege escalation.

One example is r00t extracts to /tmp/ and scidiot runs /tmp/micq/backd00r
without further interaction from root.

We believe this is vulnerability, since directory traversal in cpio

0xC15A: Secure By Design and Secure by Default Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 12)
So I have a ton of thoughts on the CISA Secure by Design and Secure by
Default push that is ongoing, as I am sure many of you do. And the first
thought is: This is not a bad way to go about business as a government
agency in general. I think it's easy to ignore how fast the USG has changed
its business practices, showing an agility that few large organizations can
match. In particular using Secure By Design as a case example.

Leverage Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Dec 27)
So we know a lot of people who've gone into Big Corpo or sold a company or

nothing wrong with that, a lot of them also try to use that money to change

A holiday reflection on: Training. Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Dec 19)
I think one thing this community does really well, better than almost any
other community I've found, is training. It's amazing, in a way,
because this is a community of professional secret holders. And yet
everywhere you look, a hacker is putting their heart and soul into
iterating on lab exercises for their class in whatever sub-field they are
an expert in.

And giving training is hard. It's hard in the way consulting is hard,...

Bill, I use multiple MUA's, among them Thunderbird, mutt, kmail and even the
zimbra web interface. All follow and implement RFC5822 as it pertains to
threading.

Note, threading works fine in the list archives too, but only displays two
levels deep.

Gmail is therefore in violation of the RFC5822. It's quite clear how it
should work per the RFC appendix.

I think it's quite unreasonable to expect others to compensate for an MUA...

Yet another useless thread added to my Gmail inbox because of a changed
subject line.

Can we please stop doing this for conversations that are about the same
topic? Numerous users on this list have clearly shown they are annoyed by
this, and frankly is something that the list admins should be looking into
- it spams everyone’s inboxes and makes conversations harder to follow.

Hi Bryan,

Respectfully, your MUA is not the only MUA. Others work differently.

GMail, for example, follows the message IDs as you say but assumes
that if you change the subject line in your reply (more than adding
"Re:") then you intend to start a new thread from that point in the
discussion. It groups messages accordingly.

This is not an unreasonable expectation: if you merely want to
continue the current conversation without going...

1)    Basically trained as a radio frequency hardware engineer, I am
only capable of using software as tools necessary for my work. For

0)    Thanks for bringing up this pair of Drafts.

1)    While I believe your "IPv4 Unicast Extension" team carried on with
the first, Avinta got accidentally exposed to the second. After analyzed
the hurdle it faced in adding on to RFC1918, the EzIP Project is now

Threading has nothing to do with subject lines. RFC822 (now 5822) specifies
how this works based on message ID. This thread displays fine in threaded
mode in my MUA and in the archives.

Hi, Gary:

basic tools that get the job done, such preferring hand tools than power
tools if possible. I believed that the ThunderBird eMail client software
was pretty basic. Your message just reminds me that there are colleagues
here probably still using plain text editors for eMail?

I shall keep this in mind for my future eMails.

Custom Rule for blocking and NOT KILLING a specific GID:SID while KILLing all others matthew wayne oliver via Snort-sigs (Jan 08)
Hi, I would like to create a custom rule for my WAN and/or LAN to do the following: block BPFdoor magic packets,
without killing them - while having kill states enable for all other blocked rules.

The reason is it kills my World of Warcraft game if i use kill states for BPFdoor rules, which led me to FORCE DISABLE
them so as to get the alerts that might otherwise be suppresed. thank you. matthew ~

The function vksXJAdk is defined to perform a simple XOR decoding of a
given string using a provided key.

The variable $i contains an encoded string, and the function vksXJAdk is
used to decode it using the key $eByjoghUea. The result is stored in the
variable $k.

Another encoded string is stored in the variable $j, and it is also decoded
using the same vksXJAdk function with the key $eByjoghUea. The result is
stored in the variable $f.

Hey Bart,

Thanks for the submission to the infosec community! We (Emerging
Threats) happened across your post and we added your signatures to the
Open (free) set for today's release! We added some flowbits to the
logic you mentioned in your blog to reduce the chance of False
Positives so users will only see an alert if signatures #1 or #2 fire
and signature #3 fire.

Signatures detecting PHP backdoor traffic Bart Broere (Jan 02)
Hi fellow Snort Sigs subscribers,

This is my first submission here, so I hope this is the right place to
contribute new signatures.

This week I analyzed a PHP malware sample that was installed on a
Wordpress host.
It functioned as a backdoor, allowing attackers to execute code on the host.
Some of the functionality of the malware is that it responds with the
MD5 hash of 47712 (6a59bb58c6c03d5103d44f3b7e5ebf07) when the GET
parameter 47712 or...

Solid advice. I will just exclude snort3-server-mysql.rules and snort3-server-mssql.rules

That would grab all traffic from the host. You should be able to filter it down to only the traffic that is triggering
the event. Then use that to replay back into snort and check your rules/configuration. The ports listed below aren't
the defaults for MSSQL.

Re: Zoom meeting causes many [SERVER-MSSQL probe response overflow attempt] John via Snort-sigs (Dec 20)
I did not create a capture. It has been a long time since I used tcpdump. Is this the correct way to grab some
traffic?

Assuming the target IP is 10.9.5.106:

tcpdump -i eth0 host 10.9.5.106 -w /tmp/capture
