[PATCH 0/5] ALPN-based HTTP/2 service detection improvements Urval Kheni (Apr 14)
Hi,
This patch series introduces ALPN-based improvements to service detection
for TLS services.
It adds support for extracting the negotiated ALPN protocol and uses
"h2" as a conservative fallback signal to infer HTTP over TLS when
service detection fails.
This improves detection of HTTP/2-only services, which return binary
responses not recognized by existing probes.
The changes are structured as follows:
1. Fix OpenSSL provider...
Bug Report: ssl-enum-ciphers fails (EOF) on CloudFront/ECDSA targets supporting TLS 1.2 Jack Seredyniecki via dev (Apr 14)
Hello nmap dev team,
I am reporting a false negative where ssl-enum-ciphers fails to detect TLS
1.2 on a CloudFront target (itwisegroup.com:443) that uses an ECDSA
certificate and Post-Quantum hybrid key exchange (X25519MLKEM768).
While sslscan and openssl confirm TLS 1.2 is active, Nmap reports only TLS
1.3. My debug logs show the server is dropping the connection (EOF) during
the Nmap TLS 1.2 handshake attempt:

[PATCH] Support Linux capabilities for non-root raw packet scanning Ali Norouzi via dev (Apr 14)
Hi everyone,
I just opened a PR that adds support for Linux capabilities, allowing nmap to
perform raw packet scans without sudo when the binary has `CAP_NET_RAW` set via
setcap:

Fix for issue #3326 advait deshmukh (Apr 14)
Issue link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3326>
Pull request link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3337>
I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output
appears to be intentional. The ipv4 value being shown seems to refer to the
next header, i.e., the protocol of the packet encapsulated within the outer
packet, which in this case is IPv6.
Since the user has explicitly specified -6 in the command, it...

Question about Nmap and GSoC 2026 Sweekar (Jan 29)
Hi Nmap developers,
I am a student contributor and have previously worked on Nmap. I am

considering participating as a mentoring organization this year, or if
there are no plans at this time.
Thank you for your time and for maintaining such an important project.

Npcap Version 1.82 Released with VLAN Tagging and More Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 28)
Dear Nmap Community,
In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have
released Version 1.82 of our Npcap Windows packet capture and transmission
driver. It builds upon the recent 1.81 release to add support for VLAN
tagging. This allows you to select for packets directed to a certain VLAN
or just inspect the VLAN headers on any packets received. It's especially
useful for Wireshark users. You can also now send...
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.
Additions include iOS 15...

Full Disclosure — A public, vendor-neutral forum for detailed discussion of vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques, as well as tools, papers, news, and events of interest to the community. The relaxed atmosphere of this quirky list provides some comic relief and certain industry gossip. More importantly, fresh vulnerabilities sometimes hit this list many hours or days before they pass through the Bugtraq moderation queue.

Other Excellent Security Lists

Bugtraq — The premier general security mailing list. Vulnerabilities are often announced here first, so check frequently!

Security Basics — A high-volume list which permits people to ask "stupid questions" without being derided as "n00bs". I recommend this list to network security newbies, but be sure to read Bugtraq and other lists as well.

Penetration Testing — While this list is intended for "professionals", participants frequenly disclose techniques and strategies that would be useful to anyone with a practical interest in security and network auditing.

Info Security News — Carries news items (generally from mainstream sources) that relate to security.

IDS Focus — Technical discussion about Intrusion Detection Systems. You can also read the archives of a previous IDS list

Web App Security — Provides insights on the unique challenges which make web applications notoriously hard to secure, as well as attack methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery, and more.

Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip. It was started by ImmunitySec founder Dave Aitel and many security luminaries participate. Many posts simply advertise Immunity products, but you can't really fault Dave for being self-promotional on a list named DailyDave.

RE//verse, DistrictCon, an Anole Friend Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Feb 02)
Last month was DistrictCon, a great conference that I did not attend
because the sky decided to dump snow on Washington, DC. Anyone who has
spent more than ten minutes in that city knows this is how you cancel every
flight out of DCA and turn the roads into skating rinks filled with deeply
furious government contractors. Life is short, so I remained in Miami where
it was 80 degrees and everyone was pretending winter is a myth.

For reasons I still don’t fully understand, Miami Beach has enormous
colonies of turkey vultures. You’ll see them circling over the city and the
interstates, perched like huge awkward toddlers on lampposts, or standing
motionless as a shadow in the strip of grass between the road and the blue
water of the bay. If you look up at almost any moment, there’s a column of
them somewhere overhead, wings spread wide, fingers splayed, feeling the...
Re: Defense ? Dean Pierce via Dailydave (Nov 16)
I like the idea of having a software supply chain that people can pay into
that basically funds a universal bug bounty system for anything that
matters.
You can put systems in place that utilize zero knowledge exploitability
proofs to automate bounty triage, so it doesn't even need to be run by a
central trusted entity. As the bounty markets stabilize, what you're left
with is a software ecosystem where anyone can build what they need...
Re: Defense ? Chris Anley via Dailydave (Nov 16)
(gingerly raises head above parapet)
Historically, “we’ve” moved the bar in defense.
- Everything is now in the cloud, accessible 24/7 via APIs whose keys are stored in plaintext alongside code, or via
preauthenticated sessions
- Everything has ~40 dependencies, each of which has ~40 dependencies, etc, which, combined with a published CVE rate
of 1 per 15 minutes (calendar year 2024), means that patching an enterprise before an...
Re: Defense ? Alfonso De Gregorio via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard
to bridge also in the presence of greater degrees of automation that
AI buys us, because, at this stage, we want humans to be in the loop –
and for good reasons – and, also, cause we are not going to grow the
skillset faster than the attack surface, I am afraid.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I will take a bite
regardless: those imbalances are a byproduct of the...
Re: Defense ? Conan Dooley via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Reduce complexity, duplication, and scope in your infrastructure. Your
developers and infrastructure staff would need to agree on standardized

scope, and make them accountable for making sure adding that level of
complexity led to business value that was greater than that overhead (vs,

Defense ? Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Nov 15)
How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me
thinks that you're just not going to patch your way out of the problem. But
the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a
difference seems pretty small? Like even converting every Linux binary to
rust would only make sense if you could find a team that could actually
maintain and support that code base, which I don't know that you could.

So I just got back from "Offensive AI Conference" in San Diego and it was a

I personally don't mix transit and peering duties on the same device. I

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Brandon Martin via NANOG (May 08)
Unless the server stores a negative/expiry result for the domain, which
I don't think any major implementations do, it should just fall back to
its hints file which would allow it to bootstrap itself again the same
as upon initial startup.
In that respect, I don't think the SOA expiry is a big deal. You want
it to be long enough that normally-running systems won't constantly keep
having to resolve it or fall back to their...

Does SOA expire for root matters? Anurag Bhatia via NANOG (May 08)
Hello everyone
Was wondering if anyone who has worked across root servers ops could answer
about the expire value in SOA record:
