Request for review: Windows MaxUserPort / WSL2 networking fix (PR #3499) 山﨑結友 (Oct 03)
Hi all,

I'd appreciate a review of this PR:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3499

Nmap's "Network Performance Improvements" installer option sets
MaxUserPort=65534. On Windows 11, I found that this changes the dynamic
port range from 49152–65535 to 1024–65534. This has been linked to WSL2
mirrored networking failures, with several users tracing the problem
to the Nmap installer:...

Re:New OS fingerprint: China Unicom ONT/ONU (Realtek/Boa) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

I'd like to submit service fingerprints for a China Unicom GPON ONT (model PT927G) that I found in my home network.
This device runs a Linux-based firmware (kernel 3.18.24) and exposes several services.

**Device Information**:
- Model: PT927G
- Vendor: China Unicom (customized)
- Hardware hint: SMB share comment mentions "Realtek", suggesting a Realtek chipset.

**Service Fingerprints**:

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi developers,

I'd like to add a service fingerprint for port 37443/tcp on the Huawei AX3 router.

This port runs SSL/TLS and requires client certificate authentication (mTLS). When connecting with a self-signed client
certificate, the server rejects it with a "unknown ca" alert, indicating that it verifies the client certificate
against a trusted CA.

**Certificate details:**

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous submissions (OS fingerprint and NSE script for the Huawei AX3), I've conducted a full port
scan and discovered two additional services that may help refine the service fingerprint database.

**1. Port 37215/tcp – UPnP**
- Service identified as: `Huawei ATP gateway upnpd`
- This seems to be already correctly matched in `nmap-service-probes`. I just wanted to confirm its presence.

**2. Port...

PATCH] New NSE script: huawei-ax3-info.nse

Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous OS fingerprint submission for the Huawei AX3 router (Message-ID:
<335797c9.5fe8.19fb73084b0.Coremail.gbfdhenr () 163 com>), I've developed an NSE script to extract device information

Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Jul 31)
Hi Nmap team,

I've encountered a clear OS detection misidentification that I believe should be corrected.

**Device in question**:
- A Huawei home router (MAC OUI: 30:A9:98 -> Huawei Device)
- Open ports: 53, 80, 443 (typical router/AP, not a headless switch)
- Running: Linux-based firmware (likely 3.18.24)

**Current incorrect result**:
Nmap 7.99 reports it as: "Netgear GS108Tv3, GS110Tv3, or GS308T switch (Linux 3.18.24)"...

Npcap Version 1.82 Released with VLAN Tagging and More Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 28)
Dear Nmap Community,

In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have
released Version 1.82 of our Npcap Windows packet capture and transmission
driver. It builds upon the recent 1.81 release to add support for VLAN
tagging. This allows you to select for packets directed to a certain VLAN
or just inspect the VLAN headers on any packets received. It's especially
useful for Wireshark users. You can also now send...

Dear Nmap Community,

I just arrived in San Francisco for the RSA conference and am delighted to
announce our Nmap Version 7.95 release! I'm most excited that we finally
tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.
We're not talking about dozens or hundreds of them-we processed more than
6,500 fingerprints!

For OS detection, we added 336 signatures, bringing the new total to 6,036.

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. More importantly, fresh vulnerabilities sometimes hit this list many hours or days before they pass through the Bugtraq moderation queue.

central trusted entity. As the bounty markets stabilize, what you're left
with is a software ecosystem where anyone can build what they need...

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me

the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a

I ran two lookups (99.145.64.17 and 23.30.160.17), pulled the raw JSON from both sources, and re-ran the merge with a

So this is also a thing as it pertains to spinning rust. SAS will greatly out

latency especially on SAS vs the same SATA drive. SAS disks support queuing
and full duplex on the interface (6 vs 12gb really doesn't matter), whereas
SATA doesn't. In a ZFS pool this can be huge, especially with raidz vs mirrors.
