Knowing the version of Nmap used in the scan assists in troubleshooting. It
is useful data. Of course, your requirements might vary, but it is not a

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...

Full Disclosure — A public, vendor-neutral forum for detailed discussion of vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques, as well as tools, papers, news, and events of interest to the community. The relaxed atmosphere of this quirky list provides some comic relief and certain industry gossip.

Re: Citrix Gateway & Cloud MFA - Insufficient Session Validation Vulnerability Jeffrey Walton (Jul 19)
There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_hijacking#Prevention
One thing Jim Manico of OWASP recommends is to (re)prompt the user for
their password on occasion, like when performing a high value
operation. That will effectively re-authenticate a user before a high
value operation. Attackers with a cookie but without the user's
password should fail the re-authentication challenge.

Hi,
I've been working with a lot of products I believe that are vulnerable
to a very similar exploit, and I was wondering how one should fix
this/protect against this attack?
I looked at

the page linking to the related controls doesn't seem to exist.
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.
Re: Tooling, Graph Databases, etc. Jason Lash via Dailydave (Jun 28)
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

Re: Tooling, Graph Databases, etc. David Manouchehri via Dailydave (Jun 27)
Would it be easier to go from Ghidra -> BinExport -> Neo4j instead of
Ghidra -> Neo4j? The BinExport format seems a bit more
stable/documented to me (I have not played around with either in too
much depth though).
Re: Tooling, Graph Databases, etc. Andre Gironda via Dailydave (Jun 27)
Maybe not from a vuln hunter perspective, but from a threat hunter view we
usually mill out to targeting platforms, e.g., Vertex Synapse (commercial)
and/or MISP (open-source) for graph-ready pivoting and analysis
For example, TheDFIRReport hosts a MISP that contexts the process objects
template --

-- and fills it up with ATT&CK tags
Sure, I'd also context...

There is joernio's ghidra2cpg, not sure why they now seem to be pushing a
forked set of patches https://github.com/joernio/ghidra, probably the DB
format changes too rapidly or some other "we automatically intake unknown
relationships lost statically". That might get part of what you're looking
for, even though, it isn't an exact fit, bringing in some higher level
tooling, like all the graphql UI's that...
Tooling, Graph Databases, etc. Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jun 26)
There's a new Ghidra release last week! Lots of improvements to the
debugger, which is awesome. But this brings up some thoughts that have been
triggering my vulnerability-and-exploitation-specific OCD for some time now.
Behind every good RE tool is a crappy crappy database. Implicitly we, as a
community, understand there is no good reason that every reverse

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

Performance thoughts Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Apr 28)
So my first thought is that performance measurement tools seem exactly

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

Re: Announce: OpenSSH 9.3p2 released Demi Marie Obenour (Jul 21)
IMO the root cause of this problem is that PKCS#11 libraries are installed
in /usr/lib, rather than in /usr/lib/pkcs11 or another subdirectory.
There should be an automated way to check if a library is a PKCS#11
library without having to load it.
Re: Announce: OpenSSH 9.3p2 released Marcus Meissner (Jul 21)
The openssh fixing patches (besides disallowing this remote agent
behaviour by default) now just abort() the pkcs11 helper if they load a library
without the pkcs11 interface C_GetFunctionList() which should largely
solve the problem, unless a library can be exploited on first load.
Longrange thinking is if these kind of load/unload impacts could be
detected by tooling easily and/or get fixed in affected libraries.
Ciao, Marcus
Re: Announce: OpenSSH 9.3p2 released Matthew Fernandez (Jul 20)
I don’t think this helps much though, right? The Qualys research that
motivated this found an exploit chain using only libs present in
/usr/lib in a default Ubuntu install. If you want to lock down loading
to a specific non-/usr/lib path that you have control over, this
suggests you know and are in control of the PKCS#11 providers you’re
going to support. In which case, why not avoid dynamic loading to begin
with? I guess the allowlist...

Re: Announce: OpenSSH 9.3p2 released Demi Marie Obenour (Jul 20)
Should there be a system-wide configuration file containing a list of

Re: OpenSSL Security Advisory Jeffrey Walton (Jul 19)
It is not clear (to me) what the actual issue being flagged is.
Whenever an application receives security parameters from an untrusted
source, the parameters must be validated. You never apply a
transformation to a message using key material that has not been
validated. So calling DH_check() and friends on untrusted DH
parameters is perfectly reasonable. In fact, if untrusted parameters
are not validated, then I would consider that a security...

Eric,
That's one of the reasons why I jumped on this. I really don't have
time to get "Droned". My only early warning system is store bought
ADS-B, and those devices are exempt from 14 CFR 91.225 & 91.227. I
wouldn't even see it coming.

You didn’t specify anything that would be useful to narrow down the issue (i.e. location, asn, error codes, etc) - We
