Re: dev Digest, Vol 217, Issue 1 Subhra Das (Aug 02)
Hi Jack,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, Default is ICMP echo. But I am using the below command where I use TCP
mode. Moreover, I have the firewall set up on the source node to block ICMP
requests and replies. In this case, which user/ kernel process on the
target node, Node 2, is replying to the below nping TCP packets

*nping -c 1 --tcp -p 13567 <IP Address on Node 2>*

Thanks & Regards,
Subhra

Re: How Nping works at the OS/ kernel level Jack Dangler (Aug 02)
Unless I am mistaken, nping doesn't need to be installed at both ends.
nping is issuing a ping request to the other node. When ping runs, it
sends an ICMP "Echo" request to the interface and waits to get a
response. Once the target receives the request, it (should) respond by
sending a "Reply" packet.

How Nping works at the OS/ kernel level Subhra Das (Aug 02)
Hi,

I carried out the below experiment. Could anyone help me to find out which
process (at user/ kernel level) on the remote node is responding to nping
TCP packets. Is there any flow diagram to understand the same

a) On Node 1 installed nping tool

b) On Node 2 removed nping tool

c) Executed the *below* command on Node 1. It still works. Could you please

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...

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Michael Lazin (Aug 19)
I would test it using sha256 instead of md5 before you jump to conclusions
but dnf doesn't use https by default and you need to jump through hoops to
get it working. I would say if you are a fedora user open a feature
request for https for dnf with the fedora team if you can repeat this with
sha256.

Peace,

Michael

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Matthew Fernandez (Aug 19)
If the VM had no access to the internet even a retry would fail, no?

If an attempted update based on a delta-rpm fails, dnf falls back to
downloading a full rpm and using this instead.

Re: Anomaly in Fedora `dnf update`: md5 mismatch of result Adrean Boyadzhiev (Aug 19)
Probably a completely different root cause, but I have noticed similar
behavior with a Debian-based distribution during `# apt upgrade` and
when there are many packages for update and the internet connection is
not so good. I haven't investigated, but my assumptions were either Race
Conditions within verification logic or some logic related to the timestamp.

To my knowledge `md5` should be ok for calculating hash sums, many
prefer it...

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

Would it be easier to go from Ghidra -> BinExport -> Neo4j instead of

stable/documented to me (I have not played around with either in too
much depth though).

one in which the whitelist wasn't actually empty

They do take some getting used to. But this is what comes with all the

Not Trio, and different PLM :)

MX304 (well, strictly LMIC16) has the same restriction, and a need for another entry in the magic port checker

Re: MX204 Virtual Chassis Setup Mark Tinka (Aug 23)
On the new ACX line, yes.

If I look at the MPC7E, MPC10E, MX10003 and MX304, no oversubscription
is allowed.

Even the LC2103 MPC on the MX10003 which has more ports than Trio
capacity, won't let you use more than 1.2Tbps (3x Trio 3 chips on it).

We don't mess around with any other MX products, so not sure (although
we are still yet to deploy the MPC10E's and the MX304).

Re: MX204 Virtual Chassis Setup Matt Erculiani (Aug 23)
Does Fusion not make sense in this case? I've not had a ton of experience
with it, but it does well to add a crazy port count to an otherwise very
port limited device.

Re: MX204 Virtual Chassis Setup Tom Beecher (Aug 23)
You're restricted to 400G because they did fixed lane allocations to the EA
chip on the PFE to each port group. Doing an MRATE setup to let you access
all 480G would have increased electrical complexity, and dramatically
increased the price point of the box. There are tradeoffs. The more
flexibility you want, the more expensive the box is going to be.

I'm not sure they allow oversubscription on anything in the MX line anymore
honestly....

Re: MX204 Virtual Chassis Setup Mark Tinka (Aug 22)
What would have been nice is if Juniper oversubscribed the face plate of
this platform, as most people are more likely to run out of ports than
they would the 400Gbps forwarding capacity of Trio.

In some cases, we deploy more of these in the same PoP just because we
need more ports, not because we need more capacity; and a chassis would
not make sense for the function, yet.
