Increase service probes max line length Reece (Jul 07)
I created a PR on github to increase the probe line length, we created a
custom probe for our own purposes to detect quic based on a tcpdump packet,
but it's quite long so went over the line length, this, the PR increases
the line length and adds a nicer error if you hit the max:

Currently we are applying it as a patch in our build infra but would be
great to get it upstream.

Automatic protocol selection? Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (Jul 06)
Hi all

Sometimes I use nmap in my scripts and since I'm in a mixed environment, where most of the hosts are dual protocol, not
all are, and some are only on IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the type of equipment and their function. Most other software,
will just default to a single protocol, typically IPv6, and then fall back to the other if the first fails. At first I
thought using the -6 flag would do so (as it says 'Enable IPv6...

Fix ndiff.bat issue on Windows georges.zwing (Jul 04)
Hi,

I created this PR <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2865> to fix this
issue <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/2733> running ndiff.bat on
Windows. It also removes the requirement to have Python installed separately
from Zenmap.

But I don't see the Travis CI build tests mentioned in
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md in the PR. Should I
look somewhere else?

[PATCH 1/2] nping: bind to interface on Linux for IPv4 send-ip ValdikSS via dev (Jun 21)
Linux RAW sockets need to be bound to interface, if the interface is
L3 tunnel (OpenVPN TUN for example).
Otherwise the packet goes via default route, regardless of
`--interface` or `--source-ip` options.

I was going to ask if the same is needed for IPv6, but SO_BINDTODEVICE

Missing host name Dave Close (May 14)
Running Nmap 7.92 on CentOS 8. Commands -sP, -sn, and -sL all behave
the same way. When scanning a local network with local name service,
forward and reverse, for all addresses within the network, not all
addresses are reported with their host names. Specifically, every third
report is missing the name. Since all addresses and names are available
from the same local name server (Bind 9), this doesn't seem reasonable.

Re: ZenMap GUI no longer in Windows pre-compiled binaries? Ben via dev (May 08)
@Gisle Vanem

Hmm, thats not completely true.
Maybe running with pure Python is ONE way to use ZenMap GUI.

If I look on my current nmap installation v7.93 (on windows) then there IS a zenmap.exe in the installation directory.

I virus-checked the .exe, put it into *.zip file and attached it.

installations)

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.

Re: Microsoft PlayReady WMRMECC256 Key / root key issue (attack #5) Security Explorations (Aug 13)

It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped

of fine tuned versions like dolphin are almost certainly coming soon.

OpenAI also has announced free fine tuning of gpt4o mini until late

some of its guardrails for a reasonable cost.

The security argument is fairly good in the sense that the extension
security model is broken. It's not even about ad blockers: far too many
extensions request overly broad permissions and then either do sneaky
things (e.g., "monetizing" users by stealing browsing histories) or put
users at risk. It doesn't help that if you pop a developer's account, you
can essentially deploy a backdoored extension to all users...

[kubernetes] CVE-2024-7646: Ingress-nginx Annotation Validation Bypass Craig Ingram (Aug 16)
Hello Kubernetes Community,

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where an actor with
permission to create Ingress objects (in the `networking.k8s.io` or
`extensions` API group) can bypass annotation validation to inject
arbitrary commands and obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx
controller. In the default configuration, that credential has access to all

Re: feedback requested regarding deprecation of TLS 1.0/1.1 Jeffrey Walton (Aug 16)
The big selling point of TLS 1.2 is the authenticated encryption
modes, like CCM and GCM. Prior to TLS v1.2, SSL and TLS relied solely
on Authenticate then Encrypt (AtE), which was provably secure under a
couple of constructions. Otherwise it leaked information. At TLS v1.2,
proper Authenticated Encryption modes became available. CCM and GCM
are provably secure, and do not leak information due to the ways the
ciphers are combined.

Intel initially published the IPU 2024.3 microcode release on August 13th.

But since, after it was reported that one of the blobs which should have
been updated hadn't [1], they force-pushed the master branch and re-did
the release without creating a minor release [2].

I have no particular insight on the prevalence of TLS 1.0/1.1 these

My impression of OpenSSL is that it has a strong tendency to ship

deprecated long ago.

Hi John,

That is not the case. ARIN does this if you want IRR or RPKI for your
legacy IPv4 space (which is not cool), but IPv6 is separate. The
contract you sign for IPv6 only applies to your IPv6 registration.

They do. IIRC, it's explicitly in the NRPM that having ARIN-issued
IPv4 space results automatically approves the requestor for the
minimum allocation. The surrounding rules make it pretty trivial to
get the next nibble up from the...

RE: N92 Keynote: APNIC's Geoff Huston - "Whatever Happened to IPv6?" + More John Palmer (Aug 15)
What happened? ARIN insists on you signing away your rights to your PI legacy IPV4 space in order to get any allocation
of IPV6 space.

PI holders should get an automatic assignment of IPV6 space if they request it.

People don’t like being extorted. Maybe if they stopped profiteering, people would be more receptive to IPV6. I know
we would.
