Re: nmap to use with sudo (but prevent privilege escalation vectors) Robin Wood (Oct 29)
Hi
What about if you put nmap in a docker container and after each scan
threw the container away and built a new one for the next scan.

That way you could lock down as far as you can, but if the user
manages to read the shadow file or overwrite something important, they
would only destroy their instance and not affect the rest of the
system.

I will add though, my docker skills are very limited, so this is just
a vague idea that may be a load of...

Hello nmap developers,

I added a pullrequest to the git repository #2720 concerning the version
name of zenmap.

The version name 7.94SVN in the current repository leads to an invalid

which dist-packages accepts. This is the first pull request to an open

Nmap 7.94 for Windows not running in 32-bit OS Matthias Hettwer (Oct 29)
To Whom It Concerns,

Nmap 7.94 for Windows is apparently not running under Windows 10 32-bit OS. It installs fine but when starting the
application an error window pops up: This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the
software publisher. The name of the installer file is nmap-7.94-setup.exe . Did I download the wrong installer if I
need it to work in a Windows 32-bit OS?

Pull request - Service probe for MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) Gonçalo via dev (Oct 29)
Hello Nmap Team,

In April I have submitted the pull request below which adds a service probe for MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing). I've
attached the diff for your convenience.

This probe may help identify MSMQ exposure that may need to be remediated to avoid exploitation of CVE-2023-21554, aka
QueueJumper.

Can you please check and merge?

Npcap Celebrates its 10th Anniversary In Space! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Oct 05)
Dear Nmap community,

Last month we celebrated Nmap's 26th birthday and today I'm happy to share
another big milestone: Our Npcap driver for capturing and sending raw
packets on Windows turned 10 this year! From humble beginnings as a
security and modernization patch for the discontinued WinPcap project,
Npcap has become an indispensable component for both Nmap and Wireshark.
And it's used by hundreds of other software products and...

Dear Nmap community,

Today is Nmap’s 26th birthday, which reminded me that I hadn’t yet
announced our Nmap 7.94 release from May. And it’s a great one! The biggest
improvement was the Zenmap and Ndiff upgrades from the obsolete Python 2
language to Python 3 on all platforms. Big thanks to Daniel Miller, Jakub

Nmap 7.93 - 25th Anniversary Release! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Dear Nmap community,

Twenty five years ago today, I released the first version of Nmap in a
Phrack article named The Art of Port Scanning (https://nmap.org/p51-11.html).
I never thought I'd still be at it a quarter of a century later, but that's
because I also didn't anticipate such a wonderful community of users and
contributors spanning those decades. You've helped Nmap blossom from a
fairly simple port scanner to a...

Hello folks. While the Nmap Project has been quiet lately (this is my

Nmap and Npcap development. Starting with our Npcap Windows packet

what is reasoning? Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Oct 05)
There's not a huge paper I can find on the history of all the big bug
classes. I mean, there's probably not even a real definition of "bug class"
that would survive a drunken conversation between two CTF teams. But like,
screw it, "format strings" are a bug class. "Deserialization bugs" are a
bug class. "strcpy and friends" is a bug class. You know what I mean if

The policy-making trend deserves its own thread.

Dave & I and a few others have done “deep policy work” which requires years

contrarian technical facts over desired policy outcomes that were drafted
by people who often don’t fundamentally understand how computers work.

What was cool for me was DEF CON HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) --

You are on point on so many levels. I've also been noticing a significant
culture shift.

There is definitely a strong focus on policy-making, which now promotes
conformity in thought and dismiss critical perspectives. These are the very
things that the hacker culture once opposed, but they also now represent
what policy-making is. We could even say that policy-making is now molding
the hacker culture, rather than the other way around, and...

The Vegas security conferences used to feel like diving into a river. While
yes, you networked and made deals and talked about exploits, you also felt
for currents and tried to get a prediction of what the future held. A lot
of this was what the talks were about. But you went to booths to see what

But it doesn't matter anymore what the talks are about. The talks are about...

Re: CVE-2023-34059 - File Descriptor Hijack vulnerability in open-vm-tools Matthias Gerstner (Nov 27)
Hi,

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. It seems I phrased that not
properly. I did not mean to say that the issue is unfixed. As the
initial email from VMware states there is a patch and bugfix release
available.

What I wanted to express is that all versions of open-vm-tools ranging
from 10.3.0 up until before the bugfix release are likely affected by
the issue.

Cheers

Matthias

Re: CVE-2023-34059 - File Descriptor Hijack vulnerability in open-vm-tools John Helmert III (Nov 26)
Hm, it looks like there *was* a commit to vmware-user-suid-wrapper
that looks very similar to the patch that was linked in the original
advisory mail:

https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/commit/63f7c79c4aecb14d37cc4ce9da509419e31d394f

Was that fix insufficient, or maybe wasn't there when your mail was sent?

Re: CVE-2023-49068: Apache DolphinScheduler: Information Leakage Vulnerability John Helmert III (Nov 25)
So <3.2.1 is affected, but also =3.2.1, and "[FIXED_VERSION]" was
seemingly not replaced in the template. What are the correct affected
and unaffected versions? I tried to dig into what releases the fix
commit is in, but I found that that commit doesn't seem to be in any
tags yet, either?

In attempting to operationalize the ACX7100 I have run into quite a few

Builders and resi electricians are going to hate 1". It's not something
they'll stock nor is it readily available at cheeeap prices that they

Re: CPE/NID options Tom Samplonius (Nov 27)
Adva, RAD, and Telco Systems are all good NID options.

You can go with just any switch, but “proper” NIDs have dying gasp. If the NID is going on a customer premise, I
consider dying gasp a must. The dying gasp allows your NOC to determine the difference between a network break and
fiber cut.

Re: CPE/NID options Ryan Hamel (Nov 27)
For those carriers that do not mind, they have already accepted the cost that comes to a truck roll and may pass the
cost onto the customer depending on the result. Where as there are a number of carriers like Cogent, Colt, Comcast,
Cox, Crown Castle, Lumen, Zayo, are capable of testing the circuit without a truck roll.

Re: CPE/NID options Josh Luthman (Nov 27)
Around here, Spectrum uses an Adva for demarc and it can not do rfc2544
testing. They will unplug the Adva and plug in the techs' mobile unit
(Viavi I think). VZW/Tmo/Sprint/etc don't seem to mind.

Re: CPE/NID options Ryan Hamel (Nov 27)
The problem with using switches as a CPE device is the lack of RFC2544 (or equivalent) testing, and monitoring of the
complete circuit with TWAMP. Both of which are used to ensure compliance with an SLA.
