SecLists.Org Security Mailing List Archive
Any hacker will tell you that the latest news and exploits are not found on any web site—not even Insecure.Org. No, the cutting edge in security research is and will continue to be the full disclosure mailing lists such as Bugtraq. Here we provide web archives and RSS feeds (now including message extracts), updated in real-time, for many of our favorite lists.

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...

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:
nmap --script-help=snmp* | grep -B3 -A1 -i v3

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.

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

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...

Other Excellent Security Lists
Bugtraq — The premier general security mailing list. Vulnerabilities are often announced here first, so check frequently!
Security Basics — A high-volume list which permits people to ask "stupid questions" without being derided as "n00bs". I recommend this list to network security newbies, but be sure to read Bugtraq and other lists as well.
Penetration Testing — While this list is intended for "professionals", participants frequenly disclose techniques and strategies that would be useful to anyone with a practical interest in security and network auditing.
Info Security News — Carries news items (generally from mainstream sources) that relate to security.
IDS Focus — Technical discussion about Intrusion Detection Systems. You can also read the archives of a previous IDS list
Web App Security — Provides insights on the unique challenges which make web applications notoriously hard to secure, as well as attack methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery, and more.
Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip. It was started by ImmunitySec founder Dave Aitel and many security luminaries participate. Many posts simply advertise Immunity products, but you can't really fault Dave for being self-promotional on a list named DailyDave.

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.

It's tricky to detect the exact situation(s) that would lead to the

Hello,
Is there any way to check if any of my MP3 files contain the stuff
that triggers the bug? Would, for example, Checkmate
(https://github.com/Sjord/checkmate) flag them without also being
exposed to security risks?
Re: mpg123 buffer overflow in versions before 1.32.8 (Frankenstein's Monster) Marco Benatto (Oct 31)
Hello,
I just filed the details for the CVE above.
Description:
There's a out-of-bounds write issue in mpg123, the vulnerability is
located when handling crafted streams. During the decoding of PCM the
libmpg123 may write past the end of a heap located buffer, as
consequence heap corruption may happen and arbitrary code execution is
not discarded. The complexity required to exploit this flaw is
considered high as the payload needs to be...

Hi all,
qBittorrent, on all platforms, did not verify any SSL certificates in its
DownloadManager class from 2010 until October 2024. If it failed to verify
a cert, it simply logged an error and proceeded.

as upstream of mpg123, I recently fixed a possibly serious issue that
resulted in writing past a buffer on the heap under certain use cases.
The fixed release is 1.32.8.

possible false positive for 'INDICATOR-SHELLCODE x86 setgid 0' can someone confirm John via Snort-sigs (Oct 29)
When I attempt to download the following xz file, my IPS blocks it with the below populating the snort log. I suspect
this is a false positive unless there is some code in the xz file that is truly malicious. Can someone with more
knowledge about the rule please comment?

Questions about IPS-Policy Bestell_E-Mail via Snort-sigs (Oct 22)
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
licenses?
Best regards

Re: Hi all! (and a snort sig question) Al Lewis (allewi) via Snort-sigs (Oct 10)
Wouldnt it be easier to just use the IP variable?
i.e replace the EXTERNAL_NET and use a variable or IP?

Ah, makes sense
I’ll count bytes, but I don’t think the ordering of extensions is dictated…
Playing with this tomorrow hopefully
Hi Rob
At this point of inspection, the payload is handled by the SSL inspector, and not by the HTTP inspector. So, we cannot
use the HTTP buffers.
So, is it possible for you to match on the relevant bytes using content matches without using buffers?
This is my understanding. I could be wrong :/

Snort capturing traffic from the entire network instead of just the IP Assigned NTWIGA MURITHI via Snort-sigs (Oct 10)
Goodmorning,
I downloaded the registered rules. And configured snort.lua IP using the
following
HOME_NET = '10.2.60.134'
EXTERNAL_NET = '!$HOME_NET'
The problem is snort is capturing all the traffic from other IPs when i run
this command
sudo snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua -i eth0 -A alert_fast
--plugin-path "/usr/local/etc/so_rules/"
