Writing high-performance npcap application Jan Danielsson (Apr 27)
Hello,
[The npcap page said it was ok to use nmap mailing list for npcap
related questions. If there's a more appropriate forum, please point me
to it.]
I'm working on an application that requires very high transfer rates
of raw ethernet packets. As a reference, we use libpcap on unixy
platforms and are able to saturate a 1Gbit/s link, with zero packet
loss. A few customers need Windows support, so we're looking...

packet-trace inconsistent paacman via dev (Feb 23)
I've noticed when using the packet-trace option that Nmap doesn't always display all packets sent and received.
For example doing a syn scan all the packets (SYN, ACK, Reset) are shown but doing a connect scan does not. Is this by
design for some reason?_______________________________________________

SBOMs and Jellyfish Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Apr 22)
The most annoying thing with talking to computer scientists about anything
is they will look at any problem that remotely touches software and ask you
"Is that the right data structure? Are you ... sure?"
Like, this is what happens to every programming language - it's why you get
NaN or an empty list for any given arbitrary code fragment in Javascript.
People had a normal data structure, say a dictionary, and were like "What...
Re: GraphQL Jim Manico via Dailydave (Mar 05)
For many years GraphQL implementations have had massive issues with

problem when you are essentially give a database prompt to the client.
GraphQL is better off on the back end only, IMO.

One of the best ways to get more performance out of your networked system
is to trust the client more. This is always a bad idea from a
security perspective, as everyone on this list knows, but it's fun to see
it reincarnated a thousand times in different bodies.
So for example if your web application has endless structured data always

Hello all,
For our next webcast we will cover some of the core tools we use all the time at Black Hills Information Security.
However, there will be a twist. We will not talk about Nessus, Nmap, or Metasploit. Why? Because there are a ton of new

Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Christian Fischer (May 02)
Maybe there is a misunderstanding, just to clarify:
1. Oracle Java 15, 16, 17 and 18 are known to be affected
2. Oracle seems to be aware of this (see the various previous comments /
the blog post linked by the OP)
3. The CVE description doesn't reflect that Java 15 and 16 is affected
(only Java 17 and 18 is listed there as vulnerable)
4. The related entry for CVE-2022-21449 on the April 2022 CPU is also
not reflecting this (only Java 17...
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting John Helmert III (May 01)
Their April 2022 CPU (Critical Patch Update) Advisory, which is a
reference of CVE-2022-21449, is pretty comprehensive:
https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2022.html#AppendixJAVA
Supported versions affected: "Oracle Java SE: 17.0.2, 18; Oracle
GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.1, 22.0.0.2"
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Christian Fischer (Apr 30)
Yes, indeed / in know (since then) but it wasn't clear if all participants in this thread are aware of this fact.
But i just have noticed that my posting was only partly relevant for the quoted message and the question of the OP "Why
is this being allowed…" because i have missed that Oracle (if they as the assigning CNA are aware that Java 15 and 16
are affected) AFAICT indeed haven't provided any reference so far about...
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting David A. Wheeler (Apr 30)
CVEs are practically *guaranteed* to have incomplete information,
no one knows all & time is limited even if something *can* be found.
No one should be *required* to determine if some
unsupported versions are vulnerable to a reported vulnerability.
HOWEVER: if important information is *already known* then it should
be incorporated into the CVE data (either originally, or added to the
relevant databases later when that becomes known). That...

"Bad faith" doesn't mean what you seem to think it means, unless you
really believe I'm shilling for Oracle in order to mislead or
defraud you in some way. I'll tell you straight up, though, I
personally have no connection to Oracle nor have they ever funded my
work in any way.
If you've got concerns with how Oracle handles their vulnerability
reporting, I would take that as an indication to stop using...
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting John Helmert III (Apr 30)
The CNA that assigned that CVE is Oracle, so Oracle is the CNA to talk
to to make changes to it. MITRE won't make changes to it as they're
not the CNA behind that CVE.
Right, this is documented in the CNA rules [1]:
"8.2.1 MUST provide enough information for a reader to have a
reasonable understanding of what products are affected. If the
affected products are not explicitly listed in the description, then
the CNA MUST provide a...

Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Iron-Bound (Apr 29)
As for the corp in question, you can expect the legal/PR team is involved
for any 'perceived' damage.
Last time I checked we don't have source to review Microsoft products..
Would also make the argument that unsupported software having CVE's is an
extra wedge to force companies to update that old unloved application in
the corner!
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Seaman, Chad (Apr 28)
Exactly this.
It’s not that they didn’t/can’t verify, it’s already verified, they’re claiming those versions no longer being
officially supported means they can seemingly omit them from CVE reporting.
Which is dangerous, misleading, and nonsensical.

Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Sven Schwedas (Apr 28)
You and Jeremy arguing in bad faith here, OP didn't ask about anything
like that.
The problem at hand is, someone *already did all that work*, and Oracle
is *actively intervening* to have it dropped from CVE reports.
So the question is: Why is vulnerability information that already exists
being censored?
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Seth Arnold (Apr 28)
A large part of software maintenance is managing technical debt --
and being able to walk away from no-longer-supported products is an
important part of that.
Would you expect Microsoft to evaluate Windows 3.11, Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0. Windows XP,
etc for every single vulnerability discovered in newest products?

The alternative is what projects I work on do: If the oldest
supported version is vulnerable, then assume all unsupported
versions are also vulnerable unless someone is able to find evidence
to the contrary (we basically just always list <= the oldest fixed
version as vulnerable).
Vulnerability managers' jobs aren't to make things easier for
exploit developers, quite the opposite in fact. My goal is to make
sure users know...
Re: CVE-2022-21449 and version reporting Brian Behlendorf (Apr 28)
If that universe were consistent, it'd be one where vendors and open

Re: Announcement of Experiments Randy Bush (May 02)
hi adam,
you are correct, it will affect research based on as_path data from the
ris/rv collectors etc. which is why i think these researchers were kind
to warn us so we can remove data for those prefixes from in any
measurements betting on as_path which might be so sensitive so as to be
effected.
but then, removing PEERING testbed prefix data (which these are) from
your experiments is probably wise in general. you would be measuring

RE: Announcement of Experiments Adam Thompson (May 02)
I am not claiming any of this is official MERLIN position on the matter, these are merely my thoughts so far based on
the incomplete knowledge & data I have:
IMHO, it's somewhat the same as if I made public statements that started with "Well, I talked to Randy Bush and he said
XXXX". I'm clearly the one articulating that sentence, but I'm nonetheless attributing to you something that is
(presumably) false.

Re: Announcement of Experiments Paschal Masha (May 02)
I really don't see any harm with this experiment especially considering that the first AS Number on the AS_PATH will be
the correct AS-PATH from which the two prefixes should be originated from. Clear whatever ASN that follows after that
wouldn't matter as the internet will always forward traffic for those prefixes to the correct ASN, perhaps the question
to the research team is how will the routers that within your ASN be configured...

Re: Announcement of Experiments Lars Prehn (May 02)
I think I get why you'd always like to opt-in rather than opt-out after
short notice. Yet for this particular line of research, having operators
explicitly opt-in sort of defeats the entire purpose of poisoning their
ASN. Say you'd manipulate/eavesdrop/whatever my traffic and I
consequently would like to poison you, then you'd surely not provide me
with the permissions to use your ASN after I nicely asked you.

Re: Announcement of Experiments Tom Beecher (May 02)
Fine : Experimentation.
Not fine : Experimentation with number or ASN resources that are not yours

The operations and engineering staff at my company should not have to trace
down why one of our ASNs is suddenly announcing space that is not ours ,
and that is coming from a network that isn't under our control.
Re: Announcement of Experiments Peter Potvin via NANOG (May 02)
In my honest opinion, it's the fact that they're going to be using random
AS's without prior consent from those that hold said AS's, and only giving
operators a week to opt-out of something that they never opted into in the
first place.

Peter
Re: Announcement of Experiments Lars Prehn (May 02)
Short Disclaimer: I frequently use the PEERING testbed myself, so I'm
genuinely interested in where and why people draw the boundary of what's
fine and what's not.
Iirc., the route collectors see a (drastically varying) number of
poisoned routes (assuming everything within a loop is poisoning) in the
DFZ at any point in time, affecting a (drastically varying) number of
ASNs, prefixes, and paths. So why would you expect this...
Re: Could people with experience with ARIN's IRR API contact me off-list? Jon Lewis (May 02)
I've played around with it a little recently, primarily for bulk creation
of auth IRR route objects. One oddity I found, which I complained to ARIN
about, was using the API, GET requests of publicly visible objects will
fail if the user your API key belongs to doesn't have write access to the
object.
What issues are you having?
BTW, if you have the ability to put all your objects in auth sources, why
would you continue paying to...

I feel that as innocuous as your tests may be, you must work in reverse of how you are doing this now. Furthermore we
do not have to opt-out, and tell you our ASN etc. Shall we will bill your for our valuable time? Does your experiment
have a budget for that? We’re...
Re: Announcement of Experiments Tom Beecher (May 02)
I am not suggesting that anyone ask for permission to announce routes.
I am suggesting they ask for permission to use ASNs that are not theirs in
the experiment, instead of forgiveness later for any operational disruption
that it would cause.

Hello out there, I created a kernel probe module and I want to watch the

pcap interface can read the output of that module. In order to enable
Wireshark to read from this device, I started to place a handler

In pcap.c I put in

Re: First 4 bytes in SNMP application data Jaap Keuter (Mar 03)
Hi,
What you’re looking at is the SNMP encoding according to the Basic Encoding Rules[2] (BER). These octets define the BER
structure.
For example a 64 octet SNMPv3 message starts as such:
SNMPv3Message ::= SEQUENCE {
30 3E
msgVersion INTEGER ( 0 .. 2147483647 ),
02 01 03
Where 30 defines a sequence, 3E the length, 02 an integer, 01 length of one and 03 the version number.

Re: First 4 bytes in SNMP application data chuck c (Mar 03)
SNMP (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1157) uses ASN.1 BER (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.690#BER_encoding) to define the data.
"These types of encodings are commonly called type–length–value (TLV)
encodings"
(See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1592 for a packet diagram)
It's a bit confusing since there is no 0x30 in the BER tags list. Looking
farther down into the details it's explained:

Hello,
Snort will need to be inline to block effectively. Are your two hosts able to reach each other when snort is NOT

Once snort is started it should “bridge” the gap between both networks.
