GSoC 2026: Password Security Wizard - Optimizing the NSE Brute Library Adithya Shetty (Mar 02)
Hi Nmap Development Team and Fotis,

My name is Adithya, and I am a 4th-semester Computer Science student
specializing in Cybersecurity. I am writing to express my strong interest
in the "Password Security Wizard" project for GSoC 2026.

Over the past few days, I have cloned the repository, set up my build
environment, and have been digging into the nselib/brute.lua library and
several of the -brute.nse scripts (specifically focusing on...

Question about Nmap and GSoC 2026 Sweekar (Jan 29)
Hi Nmap developers,

I am a student contributor and have previously worked on Nmap. I am
preparing for Google Summer of Code 2026 and wanted to ask whether Nmap is
considering participating as a mentoring organization this year, or if
there are no plans at this time.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining such an important project.

Best regards,
Sweekar

HTTP2 cleartext service probe Harrison Neal (Dec 24)
Good day,

In instances where HTTP2 is used cleartext without TLS+ALPN (a.k.a., h2c,
prior knowledge), nmap does not appear to have a service probe.

The following is something really simple based on RFC7540, which covers the
initial client message and the server's initial SETTINGS frame. The match
regex below ignores the length (RFC says the server's initial SETTINGS
frame can be empty, nghttpd appears to provide a single entry for...

GitHub PR #3214: Add compatibility fixes for various OSes + multiplatform autobuilds Jordan Ritter (Oct 30)
Just submitted https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3214 — I think the contributing guidelines say to give an extra heads

The PR adds compilation fixes for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, macOS, and Windows, against current master (on

I got the sense you guys may not have broad OS coverage in the existing TravisCI setup — given all the problems...

Re: .NET Wrapper for Npcap Daniel Miller (Oct 30)
Steve,

Npcap ought to work with any existing WinPcap wrapper, since the API is
backwards-compatible. I have not used any C# wrappers myself, though I am
aware of SharpPcap (https://github.com/dotpcap/sharppcap) as another.

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...

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...

RE//verse, DistrictCon, an Anole Friend Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Feb 02)
Last month was DistrictCon, a great conference that I did not attend
because the sky decided to dump snow on Washington, DC. Anyone who has
spent more than ten minutes in that city knows this is how you cancel every
flight out of DCA and turn the roads into skating rinks filled with deeply
furious government contractors. Life is short, so I remained in Miami where
it was 80 degrees and everyone was pretending winter is a myth.

feeling the air Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 05)
For reasons I still don’t fully understand, Miami Beach has enormous
colonies of turkey vultures. You’ll see them circling over the city and the
interstates, perched like huge awkward toddlers on lampposts, or standing
motionless as a shadow in the strip of grass between the road and the blue
water of the bay. If you look up at almost any moment, there’s a column of
them somewhere overhead, wings spread wide, fingers splayed, feeling the...

Re: Defense ? Dean Pierce via Dailydave (Nov 16)
I like the idea of having a software supply chain that people can pay into
that basically funds a universal bug bounty system for anything that
matters.

You can put systems in place that utilize zero knowledge exploitability
proofs to automate bounty triage, so it doesn't even need to be run by a
central trusted entity. As the bounty markets stabilize, what you're left
with is a software ecosystem where anyone can build what they need...

Re: Defense ? Chris Anley via Dailydave (Nov 16)

Historically, “we’ve” moved the bar in defense.

- Everything is now in the cloud, accessible 24/7 via APIs whose keys are stored in plaintext alongside code, or via
preauthenticated sessions
- Everything has ~40 dependencies, each of which has ~40 dependencies, etc, which, combined with a published CVE rate
of 1 per 15 minutes (calendar year 2024), means that patching an enterprise before an...

Re: Defense ? Alfonso De Gregorio via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard
to bridge also in the presence of greater degrees of automation that
AI buys us, because, at this stage, we want humans to be in the loop –
and for good reasons – and, also, cause we are not going to grow the
skillset faster than the attack surface, I am afraid.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I will take a bite
regardless: those imbalances are a byproduct of the...

Re: Defense ? Conan Dooley via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Reduce complexity, duplication, and scope in your infrastructure. Your
developers and infrastructure staff would need to agree on standardized

validate when people said doing something wasn't possible within that
scope, and make them accountable for making sure adding that level of
complexity led to business value that was greater than that overhead (vs,

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me
thinks that you're just not going to patch your way out of the problem. But
the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a
difference seems pretty small? Like even converting every Linux binary to
rust would only make sense if you could find a team that could actually
maintain and support that code base, which I don't know that you could.

Hi!

I'm not part of the Debian Security Team (I just maintain the inetutils

seem to be one coming from upstream. I guess the expectation would be
that if there's a new CVE to be assigned that would be handled by
upstream, but if it's needed and it's not forthcoming they might assign
another one? (Although the easier way forward would be to reuse the...

can be exploited by abusing systemd service credentials support added to
the login(1) implementation of util-linux in release 2.40. This is
related to client control over the CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY environment

Re: Can route-views be trusted? Randy Bush via NANOG (Mar 03)
i suppose that, if we knew the prefix and ASs, a bored researcher could
try to figure out if it was/is a zombie, noction, f5 cover-up, or
whatever. i am not that bored researcher. and what would we really
learn that is useful?

RE: Can route-views be trusted? John Palmer via NANOG (Mar 03)
We just changed upstreams on Friday and the bgp.tools website still showed us as having both upstreams. Turns out some
Russian site (AS69xxx or something) held on to the route for 3 days before it vanished. The next upstream they showed
was 1299 (Arelion), so it does happen.

Re: Can route-views be trusted? Tom Beecher via NANOG (Mar 03)
Presumably 'observed paths from inside 35280', but also think it's a
misleading/confusing tool.

From what I can see for that prefix ( 2a0d:3dc1:6789::/48 ) , origin is
4601 , paths is to 1299. ( 1299 25091 8298 4601 )

1299 doesn't seem to have it anywhere in their LGs, but 174 sure does in
Singapore and Washington, DC.

Is there a citation/paper for this claim?

Re: Can route-views be trusted? Ben Cartwright-Cox via NANOG (Mar 03)
(bgp.tools owner hat on)

It's entirely possible that things do actually get stuck in routing
tables, and there [are/have been] some persistent bugs in especially
Extreme OS around this particular failure mode for several years, there
are also some similar bugs in certain configurations of JunOS that can
easily cause this, FRR configured with weird flap dampening parameters
can also do this...

Depending on the mission of the route...

Re: Information for ASPA creation Bryton Herdes via NANOG (Mar 03)
I'd strongly discourage providing any upstream provider "hints" in the ASPA
UI. "Intent" and "observable state" of BGP relationships must not be
confused. The "hint" feature merely opens the door for operators to
accidentally allow the route leaks ASPA is meant to prevent. People should
understand their business relationships well enough to not need a hint from
the UI.

Information for ASPA creation Koen van Hove via NANOG (Mar 03)
Hello all!

I am currently working on a better ASPA UI in Krill. The goal is to
provide a bit more confidence when creating an ASPA record that what was
entered is correct, and, more importantly, does not accidentally break
things once networks start validating and rejecting routes based on ASPA
records. The last iteration of that UI can be found here:

does it matter? damping affects announcements, not withdraws.

about 9% of ASs use damping with the old pad parms.

Re: Can route-views be trusted? Philip Smith via NANOG (Mar 03)
Hi Hank,

We simply record what is announced in the global table as seen by our
50+ collectors. It's not a question of trust or otherwise. ;-) If it is
announced, and our collectors see it, it's real.

Looks like F5 needs to check that the route really has been withdrawn -
while they think they might have withdrawn it, what about the other ASNs
in the path between them and the collector that sees it?

Sadly it seems to be getting...
