Re: Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Daniel Miller (Oct 31)
Ramu,

Nmap's snmp-sysdescr script currently uses a 5-second timeout and attempts
only once to send the SNMPv1 request. We agree that this could be improved
to provide better reliability. I will investigate further and respond again
with specific suggestions.

Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Ramu Burra via dev (Oct 31)
Hi Daniel & NMAP team,

I hope this email finds you well.

I'm writing to inquire about the specific behaviour of Nmap's SNMP-SYSDescr query in situations where the target device
responds intermittently.

I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any specific configuration options or techniques that can be
employed to increase the likelihood of successful SNMP-SYSDescr queries, especially when dealing with...

Good day,

NSE scripts for SNMPv3? Johan Kuuse (Oct 03)
Hi, my first mail to this list,

I have used (and modified) quite a few NSE scripts for SNMP.
Anyhow, AFAIK, all SNMP scripts (except "snmp-info") are limited to SNMPv1
and SNMPv2c:

NPCAP 1.60 high CPU usage with pcap filter that does not pass anything (Win10) Vladimir Soldatov (Sep 17)
Hi guys,

I've a setup (Win10, Intel X520, NPCAP 1.60) with relatively high traffic
around 700 Mbit/s and I am trying to test the following cases:
1. Capture everything with empty pcap filter and just print stats with some
period calculating captured data size
2. Capture nothing with an intentionally created filter that does not match
the received traffic at all.
3. Capture some subset of traffic like 10%.

In all the cases, CPU usage...

How to make a minimal HTTPS request with ncat --ssl with explicit HTTP content? Ciro Santilli OurBigBook via dev (Sep 17)
Hello, I was trying for fun to make an HTTPS request with explicit hand-written HTTP content.

Something analogous to:

printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n' | ncat example.com 80

but for HTTPS. After Googling one of the tools that I found that seemed it might do the job was ncat from the nmap

Nmap 7.95 released: OS and service detection signatures galore! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (May 05)
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.
Additions include iOS 15...

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...

Hacking the Edges of Knowledge: LLMs, Vulnerabilities, and the Quest for Understanding Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Nov 02)

It's impossible not to notice that we live in an age of technological
wonders, stretching back to the primitive hominids who dared to ask "Why?"
but also continually accelerating and pulling everything apart while it
does, in the exact same manner as the Universe at large. It is why all the
hackers you know are invested so heavily in Deep Learning right now, as if
someone got on a megaphone at Chaos...

It was this experience that...

Developing Clairvoyance Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Sep 30)
As you know, humans like to invent comfort words. One of my favorites is
"luck". The theory being that yes, the universe has dice, but they are
loaded in your favor. Properly used, these words are a spell - they allow
us to have courage when a sober mind would quail. But when you become a
professional, you have to give up these crutches. Only poor poker players

Well this is rather timely! Although I'm not sure using an LLM for the

sboms and LLMs Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Sep 11)
People doing software security often use LLMs more as orchestrators than
anything else. But there's so many more complicated ways to use them in our
space coming down the pipe. Obviously the next evolution of SBOMs

they represent not just what is contained in the code as some static tree
of library dependencies, but also what that code does in a summary fashion...

Cyber is Calvinball.

Persistence and Strategic Effects Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Aug 15)
Before there were words, calculated as the softmax of a list of possible

soaked in a hormonal brew of electrolytes, operating on a clock cycle of
"slow, but fast enough". In this sense, as we now know

Breaking down a prompt into multiple steps works pretty well for us. e.g.

Then I just shove the mean reasons into the system message (you can do this

Re: LLMs and refusals Jason Ross via Dailydave (Jul 25)
It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped
and seems to perform roughly on par with llama3 and gpt4o, so the next wave
of fine tuned versions like dolphin are almost certainly coming soon.

OpenAI also has announced free fine tuning of gpt4o mini until late
September (up to 2m tokens/day) so it may be possible to fine tune around
some of its guardrails for a reasonable cost.

Re: Xen Security Advisory 464 v2 (CVE-2024-45819) - libxl leaks data to PVH guests via ACPI tables Demi Marie Obenour (Nov 12)
Is this unconditional (perhaps because the relevant data gets zeroed out
by the shim), or does it only apply when the PV guest can't extract data
from the shim's memory? For instance, 32-bit PV guests aren't security
supported anymore, but the PV shim isn't supposed to rely on the
security of the shim itself, only of the rest of the system.

Re: shell wildcard expansion (un)safety Ali Polatel (Nov 12)
Thank you. Around six months ago I added a restriction on filenames with
control characters to Sydbox[1] after I had read about a vulnerability
here on this list. I think it was about tar but my memory may not serve
me right. Sydbox is secure by default, so at first this feature was
enabled without any way to turn it off. After a few months of testing
with fellow Exherbo Linux developers, we have noticed some package tests

Re: Xen Security Advisory 464 v2 (CVE-2024-45819) - libxl leaks data to PVH guests via ACPI tables Andrew Cooper (Nov 12)
Data are leaked into the PVShim guest, but it is the shim Xen
(exclusively) which has access to the ACPI tables.

The guest which has been shim'd can't architecturally access the leaked
data.

Hi Tom,

Wouldn't they just withdraw the delegation and issue an AS0 ROA

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Tom Beecher (Nov 14)
The first RPKI deployments started happening in the early 2010s, after many
many years of being talked about.

I'm sure you didn't mean it, but it's pretty insulting to the people who
have spent countless hours working on these issues to say 'it wasn't talked
about enough'.

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Christopher Morrow (Nov 14)

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Tom Beecher (Nov 14)
As explained earlier, RIRs cannot "create" INVALIDs.

Remember that RIRs role in RPKI is to validate that the organization
creating ROAs is the one authorized to do so, because the number resources
are assigned to them. That's it. They have no function in saying anything
about the ROAs themselves.

RIRs could always invalidate the resource certificate if forced, which
would invalidate those ROAs too, but that would lead to...

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Robert McKay via NANOG (Nov 14)
Possibly one use of a blockchain RPKI would be to restrict the RIR's
ability to sign RPKIs to address ranges under their management. The
blockchain would then be used for inter-RIR transfers, preventing RIRs
from going rogue and interfering with each other's RPKIs (such as a
court using it's power over RIRs in it's jurisdiction to censor address
space under another RIR). Perhaps over time additional RIRs could be
created...

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology David Conrad via NANOG (Nov 14)
Tom,

Something I’ve been curious about for some time: since deployment of RPKI is (mostly) hosted by the RIRs and
ultimately, the RIRs control the validation chain, what would happen if the RIR creates (or, if you prefer, is directed
by court order to create) INVALIDs?

There are some tools out there either directly using or inspired by

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Matt Corallo (Nov 13)
Thanks for raising this topic. In all the rush to deploy RPKI I fear these issues are not talked
about enough.

A variant of this could make some sense, the issue is that it doesn't do you a whole lot of good to
have a local RPKI anchor that you and your local community look to if the global internet community
isn't looking at it - sure, your IPs are routable to a few of your friends, but they can't reach
Google...oops....

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology William Herrin (Nov 13)
If the RIR can institute a revocation via smart contract, for any
reason, then you haven't achieved any resilience against government
compulsion applied to the RIR, which was Brandon's reason for
considering blockchain in the first place.

Regards,
Bill Herrin

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Jason R. Rokeach via NANOG (Nov 13)
transactions, you've violated one of the central tenets of block
chain.

To be clear, I did not state such. Ownership can be transferred by smart contract. This does not violate a core tenet
of blockchains and is a key feature of almost all blockchains which still exhibit signs of life.

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology William Herrin (Nov 13)
Not really. If it's technically feasible to override or roll back
transactions, you've violated one of the central tenets of block
chain. You can design a system that allows transactions to be rolled
back or changed by a central authority but the result would not be a
block chain and would not have the desired characteristic of
resistance against government compulsion.

Regards,
Bill Herrin

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Tom Beecher (Nov 13)
Incorrect.

If the RIR revokes the resource certificate used to sign the ROA, the ROA
is also then revoked. Validator software will then remove the VRPs that had
been created from that previously valid ROA. If there are no other VRPs
that cover the BGP message parameters, the validator will return NOTFOUND.

If the RIR refused to publish or deleted the ROA, validators will
eventually delete them, which also removes the VRP previously created. If...

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Jason R. Rokeach via NANOG (Nov 13)
For what it's worth, this is quite implementation specific and leaves a lot of room for intentional and appropriate
design decisions. Custom smart contract (think "decentralized program") code could be used to enable the functionality
desired for an RIR, without other functionality.
Let's extrapolate: An RIR could use smart contracts with immutable code to allow an entity to register a specific block
and retain certain...

Okay, this would lead to a permanent loss of resources, whereas

Hello.

First of all, please excuse me if this question is asked a lot.

I am a beginner and currently using the IPS Policy with the Business License.

I am not sure if Personal or Business License is right for me. Are the IPS policies different in any way for these two
