Re:New OS fingerprint: China Unicom ONT/ONU (Realtek/Boa) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

I'd like to submit service fingerprints for a China Unicom GPON ONT (model PT927G) that I found in my home network.
This device runs a Linux-based firmware (kernel 3.18.24) and exposes several services.

**Device Information**:
- Model: PT927G
- Vendor: China Unicom (customized)
- Hardware hint: SMB share comment mentions "Realtek", suggesting a Realtek chipset.

**Service Fingerprints**:
1. **HTTP (port...

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi developers,

I'd like to add a service fingerprint for port 37443/tcp on the Huawei AX3 router.

This port runs SSL/TLS and requires client certificate authentication (mTLS). When connecting with a self-signed client
certificate, the server rejects it with a "unknown ca" alert, indicating that it verifies the client certificate
against a trusted CA.

**Certificate details:**

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous submissions (OS fingerprint and NSE script for the Huawei AX3), I've conducted a full port
scan and discovered two additional services that may help refine the service fingerprint database.

**1. Port 37215/tcp – UPnP**
- Service identified as: `Huawei ATP gateway upnpd`
- This seems to be already correctly matched in `nmap-service-probes`. I just wanted to confirm its presence.

**2. Port...

Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Jul 31)
Hi Nmap team,

I've encountered a clear OS detection misidentification that I believe should be corrected.

**Device in question**:
- A Huawei home router (MAC OUI: 30:A9:98 -> Huawei Device)
- Open ports: 53, 80, 443 (typical router/AP, not a headless switch)
- Running: Linux-based firmware (likely 3.18.24)

**Current incorrect result**:
Nmap 7.99 reports it as: "Netgear GS108Tv3, GS110Tv3, or GS308T switch (Linux 3.18.24)"...

[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:

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

I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output

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...

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

the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a

iceener/files-stdio-mcp-server: sandbox escape in fs_search via a symlinked directory (recursive walker validates only the top level) Eve (Sep 09)
Vulnerability report — read-side sandbox escape in iceener/files-stdio-mcp-server

Project: github.com/iceener/files-stdio-mcp-server (75*). A "MCP Server for interacting with text-based
files" that makes an explicit confinement promise: "Sandboxed filesystem access. Only these paths are
available", plus a CRITICAL RULES block.

Affected tool: fs_search (and the same flaw in fs_read's directory-listing walker).

Survey of filesystem MCP servers: how the "sandboxed filesystem" boundary is enforced (one breach, four defended-by-design) Eve (Sep 09)
Summary
=======
I surveyed five filesystem MCP servers that operate on a host filesystem and assessed how each enforces its
"only these paths are available" boundary, specifically against a symlink escape in a recursive directory
walker. One (iceener/files-stdio-mcp-server) is vulnerable to a read-side sandbox escape; the other four are
defended by design (or make no confinement claim). The vulnerability class is small but real, and the...

Memory-safety defects in the upstream (abandoned) AOSP OpenCORE AAC decoder, shipped unpatched by Samsung TizenRT Eve (Sep 09)
Summary
=======
The OpenCORE AAC decoder (AOSP external/opencore, codecs_v2/audio/aac/dec) is abandoned upstream but is still
vendored and built by multiple projects, most notably Samsung's TizenRT (a widely-deployed embedded RTOS).
It contains memory-safety defects of the out-of-bounds-write and wild-pointer class, reachable from
untrusted media (an AAC frame is attacker-controlled). I request a CVE ID for this issue.

Re: Charging for IPs Saku Ytti via NANOG (Sep 09)
Can you tell me some example platform(s) that work like this?

Any platform I've come across, if you want to send ICMP from a loop,
you need to define it, and will then not care what IP you have on the
interface.

But I do agree that RFC1918 as a link-net on the Internet makes very
little sense.

Re: Charging for IPs Owen DeLong via NANOG (Sep 09)
If you’re going to ugly up the trace route that way, probably better to use Link Local (169.254.x.x) addresses than
RFC-1918.

That way, the router (should) report a loopback address instead of the interface address in the trace route. Better to
have a routable
Loopback reported than an RFC-1918 address in most cases.

Re: Charging for IPs Saku Ytti via NANOG (Sep 07)
Also,

Does someone have traceroute through ANET device, which returns the EO
on TTL exceeded?

If we can find actual production traceroute, we're sure to get
implementations in:

https://github.com/fujiapple852/trippy
https://github.com/lance0/ttl

At least trippy will already print all unknown EOs too, so you don't
need tshark to confirm.

Re: Charging for IPs Saku Ytti via NANOG (Sep 07)
Awesome, can't. see the actual Arista url, would be interesting in specifics.

In Juniper the problem is
a) basically one platform (QFX, no MX no PTX)
b) TTL exceeded doesn't get the EO, making it basically useless

We've opened an ER for this, but it's not a priority for Juniper.

I feel like RFC5837 is such that once we get it, we wonder how we
survive before it. But I seem to be fairly alone here (so wrong I
guess),...

Re: Charging for IPs Tore Anderson via NANOG (Sep 07)
If you see a traceroute where hop N is the loopback of your
peer/provider's router and hop N+1 is the loopback of your router, you
would normally have very little difficulty determining your ingress
interface - it is obviously going to be the one that connects you to
your peer/provider.

The exception would be LAG and ECMP bundles, in that case you can only
deduce that it is one of the N interfaces in the bundle. Then again,
with LAG...

Re: Charging for IPs Kevin Tillery via NANOG (Sep 07)
Perhaps it does work like this in networking, I don't know as I don't manage our contracts, but I'd be surprised
because it's not how B2B contracts work anywhere else.

The total price is the amount of money they think they can get you to pay. There are many tricks to get you to pay
more. One trick is to itemize a contract. Another trick is to appear to have standard line items.

Re: Charging for IPs Lukas Tribus via NANOG (Sep 07)

Re: Charging for IPs Tom Beecher via NANOG (Sep 07)
Yes, but this just generally reflects how poor they are run over there.
Any competent sales organization would just bundle the /31 cost into the
existing MRC they charge for a BGP session, which is also crap but
people are paying it, so good for them I guess.

That being said, this was entirely predictable. Cogent has been free
cash flow negative since 2023 they bought the old Sprint assets, and
that includes the gobs of money that TMobile...

Re: Charging for IPs Saku Ytti via NANOG (Sep 07)
There is RFC about ICMP-EO to attach this metadata, including device
name as well as actual port (not the ECMP logical but physical).
This ICMP-EO would allow you to reliably troubleshoot which port is
actually lossy, as well as it would allow you to automatically
discover what ports to set in your QoS measurement, to capture all
paths

Re: Charging for IPs Lukas Tribus via NANOG (Sep 07)
We loose interface information in traceroutes if use loopbacks for
ICMP errors. I'd immagine people have different opinions about whether
this is a problem or not.

Personally, since I'm often in the position to troubleshoot problems
in other networks, I would rather have this information at hand. With
a loopback return IP I cannot even see different ECMP paths if the
nodes are the same.

I understand that IPv4 has a cost. But using a...

Re: Charging for IPs Tore Anderson via NANOG (Sep 07)
There's also
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-linklocal-capability
which allows for IPv6 peering using link-local addresses only, which can
then carry both IPv4 and IPv6 global unicast routes.

That reduces the global attack surface to zero, which is great, and
neither of the peers need allocate any global IP prefix to the link,
which is also great.

Any ICMPv4/v6 errors can be sourced from the loopback interface, as...
