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**:
1. **HTTP (port...

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)"...

PR #3371 adds three functions to nselib/bitcoin.lua:

- validate_address(value) -- Base58Check, Bech32, Bech32m validation
- classify_address(value) -- high-level classification

No network calls, no external APIs, no real keys, no changes to existing scripts.

[PATCH 0/5] ALPN-based HTTP/2 service detection improvements Urval Kheni (Apr 14)
Hi,

This patch series introduces ALPN-based improvements to service detection
for TLS services.

It adds support for extracting the negotiated ALPN protocol and uses
"h2" as a conservative fallback signal to infer HTTP over TLS when
service detection fails.

This improves detection of HTTP/2-only services, which return binary
responses not recognized by existing probes.

The changes are structured as follows:

I am reporting a false negative where ssl-enum-ciphers fails to detect TLS
1.2 on a CloudFront target (itwisegroup.com:443) that uses an ECDSA
certificate and Post-Quantum hybrid key exchange (X25519MLKEM768).
While sslscan and openssl confirm TLS 1.2 is active, Nmap reports only TLS

I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output
appears to be intentional. The ipv4 value being shown seems to refer to the
next header, i.e., the protocol of the packet encapsulated within the outer
packet, which in this case is IPv6.
Since the user has explicitly specified -6 in the command, it...

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

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

Not exactly. You can whois query the same items several iterations over
various periods of time from multiple network perspectives if you want.

You can render the probability low enough that it is not a risk worth
considering.
Which is equal to a zero risk. The possibility of an in-flight
manipulation does not matter
for some consumers and applications. So not fundamentally part of the Whois
server nor ARIN's attack surface.

Hi Adam,

Any plausible WHOIS retirement schedule has a period of time in which
results are produced for both WHOIS and RDAP, right? ARIN proposed
about 3 years IIRC.

So during that 3-year period ARIN is doing one of two things: 1)
They're exporting RDAP data into WHOIS and maintaining the WHOIS
software. 2) They're implementing a user interface skin around RDAP to
provide WHOIS results.

Which is more expensive? A full whois...

Agreed, but none of that risks data tampering or attacks affecting the
operator, only the data consumer *choosing* to use the old way are at risk,
and they can remedy it whenever they want. They can be grownups and make
their own choices as long as the blast radius is just themselves.

Would it not need security updates? Testing the updates before (so maybe a separate test environment), and testing
after?

However infrequent, someone needs to be paid to do those things. Which costs money.

Re: [ARIN-consult] Whois using these ARIN services?? (fwd: Consultation on the Future of ARIN’s Directory Services) Job Snijders via NANOG (Sep 01)
The threat is in the use of the protocol. Port 43 Whois query/response
transactions are susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks due to the
unauthenticated and unencrypted nature of the WHOIS protocol.

"Hardening" the Whois server does nothing to mitigate the risk of data
interception or undetected tampering: there is no transport security in
port 43 Whois. WHOIS-based services simply lack mechanisms for integrity
and confidentiality....

There are RDAP clients that produce WHOIS output. Though I suspect people needing to parse WHOIS output gave up on that
fragile endeavor long ago and switched to RDAP. The numbers prove it. rdap.org just reported a 4x jump in bootstrap
queries since January. Also see [1].

The PSTN hasn't supported pulse 'indefinitely'. In the 60s when DTMF was
deployed, the PSTN supported both as a transition mechanism for 30 years.
In the 90s, LECs started retiring the pulse equipment, moving to DTMF only.
Once a given network did that, users then were required to use a pulse-DTMF
adapter to continue using the system with old equipment. While some systems
still haven't fully retired pulse, most have.

century since anyone made a rotary phone but the POTS equipment still

Why?

Because backward compatibility is valuable. There's a disadvantage to
