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...

I added a pullrequest to the git repository #2720 concerning the version
name of zenmap.

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

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

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...

Nmap and Npcap development. Starting with our Npcap Windows packet

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

Dave & I and a few others have done “deep policy work” which requires years

contrarian technical facts over desired policy outcomes that were drafted

What was cool for me was DEF CON HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) --

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...

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

But it doesn't matter anymore what the talks are about. The talks are about...

You've misunderstood the goal.

The intent is not to protect the fiber, but to make it easier for the
field tech installing new service in a neat way through finished
construction and concealled raceways, without cutting sheetrock or
stapling exposed cabling across walls.

Thanks Sean!

Looks like over priced residential inner duct to me. Sheet rock

but it’s not a CO. I’d install a PVC sleeve on the OSP to ISP transition.
The risk of outage isn’t going to materially move one way or the other as
far as I can tell.

Are the tests for authoritative or cache resolvers?

Not Google or ISCs fault, our customers have made some decisions that have exasperated the issues. By and away the
biggest problem facing my customers is that they have chosen a stateful border firewall that collapses due to session
exhaustion and they put everything, including aDNS, behind said firewall. “If it hurts, don’t do it” comes to mind,
but out of my hands.

At quick glance following the ISC link I didn’t see the...

Re: Any comprehensive listing of where Google's IPs originate from? Christopher Morrow (Dec 04)
note an entirely helpful answer, but google does publish:

maybe 'where' was not 'location' but 'origination by as15169 and it's

Healthcare organizations face rising ransomware attacks – and are paying up Matthew Wheeler (Jun 03)

they "routinely" target security misconfigurations for initial access, so
the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and its
peers have created a to-do list for defenders in today's heightened threat
environment.
