Nmap Bug in payload.cc: corrupted UDP packets during -sU scan
mzet via dev (Apr 02)
Hi List,
It was observed that UDP packets that are sent during an UDP port scanning (-sU) are corrupted.
Background:
To make UDP scanning more effective, for many services (ports) Nmap takes content of UDP packets from nmap-payloads
file. Logic for handling this is implemented in payload.cc source file.
Issue:
Due to subtle implementation issue (introduced in...
[NSE] Hex digits in URL encoding should be upper-case

For visibility to the broad Nmap community:

Please leave any comments there.

Re: Empty do_ipv4 function in address-info
nnposter (Mar 27)
I agree that there is no obvious reason why to have the function there
at all. On the other hand, the script description is pretty clear:
"Shows extra information about IPv6 addresses, such as..."
In other words, there should be no expectation that the script does
anything with IPv4.

Empty do_ipv4 function in address-info
Toni Ruottu (Mar 27)
Hi!
In the current version of address-info.nse the do_ipv4 function body is
completely empty. Is this a mistake? If it is not a mistake I would at
least expect a comment that explains why the function doesn't do anything.
Cheers, --Toni
PR 2278 - improvement on script ssl-enum-ciphers
Sulidi Maimaitiming (Mar 26)
Hi Nmap team,
I have been using the ssl-enum-ciphers script to detect the presence of
weak tls protocols and ciphers and it is a great tool.
However I've noticed many ciphers are rated A for cipher strength (while
they are flagged as weak on SSL Labs for instance), and then I realised
there was a list of warnings aggregated at the port level.
Plus the aggregated output is not always consistent...
I opened a PR on GitHub (...

Nmap Issue : "kernel: RPC: fragment too large:"
PENISSON , TIMOTHÉ (Mar 16)
Hello,
I use Nmap to scan machines and in the logs of some of them, we see this kind of messages appearing in the logs:
"kernel: RPC: fragment too large:".
This message appears globally on all servers scanned by Nmap with an NFS mount.
Is this behavior known by the Nmap community? Is it linked to a specific conf or script?
Is there a workaround to avoid this?
Thanks for your help,
Sincerely,

Npcap 1.30 Released: Raw WiFi + Better Performance
Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 12)
Hi folks. The Nmap Project is pleased to release Npcap Version 1.30 at
https://npcap.org. We hope Nmap and Wireshark users will be especially
happy with the raw WiFi improvements, since you tend to be particularly
savvy about low-level network inspection. It turns out that some of the
issues we thought were caused by lower level hardware drivers were actually
bugs in our driver. Oops! But at least that means we can fix them
ourselves, and we did....

Hello everyone. Hot on the heels of the big Npcap 1.00 release (

new Nmap--version 7.90! It's the first Nmap release since Defcon 2019, even
though we've made 16 Npcap releases since then. Raw packets are so
fundamental to Nmap that we really wanted to get it right. With the
production-ready and highly performant Npcap 1.00 driver included, we can

Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 28)
Hello everyone. I hope you are all safe and well during this nasty

that this is my first mail to the Nmap Announcement list since last
August's Nmap 7.80 release. But we've been heads-down programming since

Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip.

Plausible.

A while back I was chatting with someone at INFILTRATE, over fried

said, "We're going to make fuzzing obsolete, because we have more CPUs on

exhaust the space".

Re: Fully Automated CONOPs Exercise
Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 28)
I mean, the goal of the question is to start putting some meat on the idea
of what "harm" is and how that is reflected both from a policy and
technical perspective. But also: It's useful to put some real definitions
around what is required to make people comfortable with fully-automated
techniques.

is as useful as figuring out what the norms really are...

Dave Dittrich via Dailydave (Jan 28)
Did any of them mention international humanitarian law, specifically
discrimination, respecting territory of neutral ("green") actors and
their infrastructure, and avoiding harm to neutral third parties and
non-combatants? The problem with most worms is the inability to
accurately discriminate targets and resulting harm. This is an area
where technical experts need to be balanced with operators and policy
makers to ensure that...

So one of my new fav questions to ask policy teams is what they would do if

to supply chain to personnel to policy and technological investment.
And how would their defensive team need to change strategically if they
were facing such an offensive team.

Re: The Lost Decade of Security Metrics
toby via Dailydave (Jan 05)
I don't think you are wrong but your comparison of CVSS and the multiple
(also separately bad) metrics for a WAF isn't effective or accurate.
The values going into CVSS have something in common; they are attempts to
characterize the importance of the vulnerability in question. You are
making (have made before) the claim that the importance of a vulnerability
is too variable and specific to an environment or an attack scenario to be...
Re: The Lost Decade of Security Metrics
Chuck McAuley via Dailydave (Jan 05)
Throughput* is perhaps the wrong unit of measure. Most of the time you would be interested in measuring
“requests/second” or “transactions/second”. Aside from say a content ingesting site/repeater
(facebook/twitter/instagram), almost all content for a WAF to handle is inbound, using low amounts of available
bandwidth. The outbound content is rarely inspected by such a device, with the exception of 5xx error or similar
(headers).

Yeah, we've always built with --disable-isc-spnego, so no problem there.

Hi Ariande,
BIND 9.17.x was using the system SPNEGO since 9.17.2 (I think).
Also for older versions, it should be enough to use --disable-isc-spnego if you can’t patch it (that’s what I am doing
for Debian buster). It just won’t work with Heimdal krb5, but it compiles just fine with MIT krb5.
Cheers,
Ondrej

A patch for CVE-2021-25216 appears to be missing. In some supported

so I am trying to determine if there is anything I need to backport to

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide on this.

Hi,
somewhat related to CVE-2021-2264 I noticed an openSUSE specific
security issue in the openSUSE packaging for virtualbox [1]. To enable
the autostart feature in virtualbox as outlined in the upstream manual

of a large volume of noise and useless patch requests among other things. So it still requires a misconduct evaluation.

None of them are a good option. In the specific case of Pakistan, the

appropriate word to use, that *most* of the time, Telenor's customers have
ordinary Internet service. Over the long run it is probably a benefit that
its customers have their LTE data services.
Within that specific example I should also note that there has been very

Blackbird chooses its victims based on whether any of a couple dozen vague patents they hold can plausibly be used to
extort money out of a victim company. BB doesn’t go after service providers in particular, it just happens to have
chosen a service provider (unwisely, it turns out) in this case.

Snort. Your gubbermint conspiracy theories about the DoD address space

They were sued because they are a service provider with money and they
are fighting back asking for the community to help out. As William said,

We had this status field at Bugzilla and it worked sufficiently well (at least for dissector bugs).
At the moment it is very hard to see if someone has already had a look at an issue, if she/he was able to reproduce it,
