"no-response" vs "host-unreach"? Daniel Griscom (Oct 06)
(Sorry if this is inappropriate for this list; let me know and I'll go
away... ;)

I'm diagnosing an embedded product (no display) that's locked up. The
network seems to be active, but no ports are open and the hardware
console is unresponsive. I'd like to collect all the info I can about
it, so I turned to nmap. The product isn't responding to pings, so I usd
"-Pn".

Where does nmap handle SIGXCPU? public1020 via dev (Sep 15)
I'm running nmap on a system with limited cpu time, and nmap sometimes exits with CPU time limit exceed.

But from the source code I didn't see anywhere handling SIGXCPU, where is the relevant source code then?

Is it handled by a third-party library?

Running nmap on a memory limited environment public1020 via dev (Sep 13)
Hi there,

I'm trying to run nmap on a memory limited server (with ulimit on memory and cpu), I will need to tune the nmap startup
parameters to reduce resource usage.

- What should I use to do that?
- What is the default value of min-hostgroup and scan delay parametr?_______________________________________________

Nmap Fan Edition 'One-Click' CLI Frontend Renzo Donegani (Aug 25)
Hello, fellow Cyber Security enthusiasts!
I have some exciting news to share with you.

I have created a Zsh script based on Nmap that works as a CLI Frontend.
This Zsh script - named Nmap-FE - has been created to perform a 'Smart
One-Click Scan' of a typical Windows-Linux-MacOS Target in less than 45
Minutes, you just need to enter the Target IPv4/CIDR/FQDN and you are ready
to go!

Some of the features included are:

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
let us know how should we go about finding which process is responding to

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...

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...

Npcap Versions 1.70 and 1.71 improve Windows packet capturing performance, stability, security, and compatibility Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Hello folks. While the Nmap Project has been quiet lately (this is my
first post of the year), I'm happy to share some great progress on both
Nmap and Npcap development. Starting with our Npcap Windows packet
capturing/sending library, I'm happy to report that we quietly released
Version 1.70 in June and then 1.71 on August 19. They include many key
improvements:

There's not a huge paper I can find on the history of all the big bug

that would survive a drunken conversation between two CTF teams. But like,
screw it, "format strings" are a bug class. "Deserialization bugs" are a

The policy-making trend deserves its own thread.

Dave & I and a few others have done “deep policy work” which requires years
(not just a few meetings and summits) of pushing extremely unpopular
contrarian technical facts over desired policy outcomes that were drafted
by people who often don’t fundamentally understand how computers work.

building robots, making off cloud home automation, inventing new things and
international fun projects like the stack-chan personal robots. I'm not

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 A.P. Delchi via Dailydave (Aug 15)
What was cool for me was DEF CON HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) --
seeing the members of the community that are hacking away at things like
mobility scooters, using eye-tracking keyboards , and the general community
that is building in that regard. DEF CON this year had 3 rooms assigned to
assisting / presenting to ADA needs.

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023 Matt Suiche via Dailydave (Aug 15)
You are on point on so many levels. I've also been noticing a significant
culture shift.

There is definitely a strong focus on policy-making, which now promotes
conformity in thought and dismiss critical perspectives. These are the very
things that the hacker culture once opposed, but they also now represent
what policy-making is. We could even say that policy-making is now molding
the hacker culture, rather than the other way around, and...

The Vegas security conferences used to feel like diving into a river. While
yes, you networked and made deals and talked about exploits, you also felt
for currents and tried to get a prediction of what the future held. A lot
of this was what the talks were about. But you went to booths to see what

Re: Meltdown-US / Meltdown 3a Remaining Leakage Michael Schwarz (Oct 08)
Hi Alexander,

Yes, that is true. Android, for example, prevents unprivileged access
since version 8 to this file to prevent such attacks:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37140047?pli=1

If our proposed mitigation is implemented (e.g., as opt-in using a
kernel command-line parameter), the implementation could additionally
prevent unprivileged access to /proc/interrupts.

Hello Daniel et al.,

Thank you very much for your research and for posting about it in here!

I assume you're talking specifically about Linux's KPTI. Let's be
naming Linux explicitly, as this list isn't only about Linux.

In Linux, /proc/interrupts is generally world-readable. So perhaps
that's something to fix first, since yes it's known to allow for
keystroke timing attacks. Should be fixed in the kernel...

Of course. What makes these reports special is that the reporters often

Meltdown-US / Meltdown 3a Remaining Leakage Daniel Weber (Oct 06)
Hello,

we analyzed the remaining leakage of the "original" Meltdown attack
(Meltdown-US) (1) and the variant Meltdown 3a (2). We discovered that
the "original" Meltdown attack can be abused to infer the cache state of
memory pages that remain mapped despite KPTI. This allows an attacker to
monitor interrupt activity.
Furthermore, Meltdown 3a can still leak the content of privileged system
registers, such as the FS/GS...

Re: "Linux Kernel security demistified" Jean Luc Picard (Oct 06)
Hey just dropping in as I do, I really appreciated the talk once it hit the
linux foundations channel & I got to watching it. It flowed really really
well, Very thought-provoking to the point of making the whole thing seem
like 15 minutes rather than an hour. I haven't been as enamered with a
discussion of security philosophy since I watched CISSP test-prep so I
could crash-course CISSP without having to actually pay for it (for fun).

I do not want to land between fronts but here is my understanding:

So this feels like a locked situation. One one side I read from Exim
maintainers, that there was not much information provided to actually
determine where the issue is, neither if it is specific to Exim's use
of libspf2 or if the issue is actually in libspf2.

If you're the victim of a prefix hijacking, you don't really have a choice.
Right now, that's the only way to try to counteract a prefix hijacking; to
advertise something at least as specific as the prefix being hijacked, or
smaller if possible.

Re: maximum ipv4 bgp prefix length of /24 ? Mark Tinka (Oct 07)
There are a number of operational reasons folk de-aggregate. I do agree
that there is some behaviour around de-aggregating by default in IPv4
that transferred to IPv6. But the main issue is that most people only
consider the state of their own FIB situation. They hardly consider the
FIB state of other network operators around the world.

As an operator, you have to consciously decide that you will not
de-aggregate any of your allocations. Of...
