PR #2954, Fix out of bounds reads in packet parsing Domen Puncer Kugler via dev (Feb 12)
Hi,

I've submitted a pull request a few months ago:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2954

The PR includes following three commits:
- Fix out of bounds read in HopByHopHeader::validate
- Fix out of bounds read in PacketParser::split
- Add AFL test code for PacketParser

This was found as a part of a short Hackathon at NCC Group.
As far as I can tell, there is no security impact, but it would still be nice
to see this fixed.

Kind regards

High-Priority HTML Parsing script astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello,

I noticed that under the high priority script ideas was the need for a library that parses HTML info from sites. I
wrote a script that uses a web crawler and extracts html info from attached pages and accompanying urls within the html
body. Let me know if this is what yall were after?

Thanks!

URL Pathfinder astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello all!

I just wrote up another script, trying to practice and maybe have some added to the master list for nmap. This script
enumerates possible hidden path extensions on urls. As always, Id love input on it, changes or updates.

Thanks all!

First Go astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello!,

I just started learning Lua for writing NSEs and had a go at a HTTP crawler that identifies XSS vulnerabilities on
sites. I used Juice-Shop OWASP to confirm it works. (Thats why the source code uses port 3000 in addition to 80) Id
love feedback! Doing my best to learn as much as I can. I attached the http_xss_crawler.nse below!

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.

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

Today is Nmap’s 26th birthday, which reminded me that I hadn’t yet

improvement was the Zenmap and Ndiff upgrades from the obsolete Python 2

on your child going to college in Christchurch, NZ and velvet worms Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Feb 11)
*on your child going to college in Christchurch, NZ and velvet worms*

By mid‑August the garden already practices absence — stems turning hollow,
the robin leaving its notes hanging in the air like torn corners of a song.
Under the chirp of palmetto bugs, a log eases itself back into earth.
Inside, hidden from the light, a velvet worm does the impossible: offers
herself to a spill of pale, blind threads. For days she is nothing but

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Sean Heelan via Dailydave (Jan 13)
As it happens, I’ve found the most effective way to use LLMs is to de-anthropomorphise them entirely and treat them
very like fuzzers (large scale generation of results, lots of false positives/nonsense, filtered by some oracle).

The “conversation with an AI” approach where you imagine yourself as having a single artificial brain to interact with
is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Don A. Bailey via Dailydave (Jan 12)
I designed one of the first working fuzzers (albeit unintentionally) back
in the late 90's. I don't remember if I published it, but I still have the
code. It, however, worked - badly - but it worked. I was heavily flamed,
however, because as you stated - it was not hip. It only attacked
environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,
in the 90's and early 00's, we had no shortage of local suid-based...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Thomas Dullien via Dailydave (Jan 12)
Hey,

I have one quibble: We are using "reasoning" in a qualitative, not
descriptive, form here -- "fuzzing is or is not reasoning", "LLMs reason or
do not reason". I am not sure this is helpful. Fuzzing is empirically
successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and
smashes two stones together until they throw sparks does not, once the fire
burns, need to justify that 'stones perform...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Darren Bounds via Dailydave (Jan 12)
Everything old is new and the way we reason is the same way LLMs reason. It's
not about looking for the same problem the same way it's about going to
searching for that flaw the same way with unlimited (nearly) resources.

Traditional human-led vulnerability research and discovery is, today, a short
lived venture.

(the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 11)
Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me
recently. You have to think to remember, in other words. This is hard to
grasp for a lot of people because they *think *they have *memories*. They
wrongly think memory is a noun instead of a verb, which is ok in philosophy
and psychology but in cutting edge computer science we have to be precise
about these sorts of things.

Re: AMD Microcode Signature Verification Vulnerability trinity pointard (Feb 06)
Attestations are cryptographically signed by the cpu, and meant to be sent
elsewhere and verified remotely. The key used to sign (VCEK) are dependent on
the microcode version, so it shouldn't be possible to forge new-looking
signature with old microcodes (i would hope this hold would someone be able to
decrypt a microcode, though i couldn't find information on that subject).

The software has no concept of what the data is and must provide the
user the desired confidentiality and integrity, which unfortunately
means forced deprecation and possible lack of Availability. This also
applies to features such as HTTPS RRs in DNS that aren't always
configured correctly and ECH prohibits fallback when it breaks; choosing
security over availability.

You were told to use http. It's your own fault for escalating to https

it's sensible to forcibly deprecate older security protocols when

To the best of my knowledge there are two types of PTR/A Records.

For dailup prefixes, IPs used for DSL,Cable, etc PTR should be generated
and contain the IP to make it easier to block emails from that ranges.

For v6 prefixes you will probably want to do this programmatically with

Re: Question about DNS naming conventions William Herrin (Feb 11)
server = real DNS name
random end user = DNS name which embeds the IP address

The A record is meant to match the PTR record. The PTR record embeds
the address typically as a signal that the address is not statically
assigned to a particular use or user. This is useful for filtering
systems such as email spam filters where email servers know they
should only receive unauthenticated email from other email servers
