Post Quantum hackathon and nmap Loganaden Velvindron (Dec 09)
Hi Folks,

I'm logan from the cyberstorm.mu team. We have opened several PRs for
nmap to improve support for Post Quantum algorithms:

https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2977
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2978
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2987

We are working on other PRs for PQ which we will send in due time.
Feedback is welcome and we are willing to commit time to improve our
PRs.

Kind regards,
Logan

Re: Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Daniel Miller (Oct 31)
Ramu,

Nmap's snmp-sysdescr script currently uses a 5-second timeout and attempts
only once to send the SNMPv1 request. We agree that this could be improved
to provide better reliability. I will investigate further and respond again
with specific suggestions.

Regarding NMAP Retrigger for snmp-sysdescr Ramu Burra via dev (Oct 31)
Hi Daniel & NMAP team,

I hope this email finds you well.

I'm writing to inquire about the specific behaviour of Nmap's SNMP-SYSDescr query in situations where the target device
responds intermittently.

I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any specific configuration options or techniques that can be
employed to increase the likelihood of successful SNMP-SYSDescr queries, especially when dealing with...

Good day,

It appears that nmap doesn't currently recognize TCP-bound NSConnection (

NSE scripts for SNMPv3? Johan Kuuse (Oct 03)
Hi, my first mail to this list,

I have used (and modified) quite a few NSE scripts for SNMP.
Anyhow, AFAIK, all SNMP scripts (except "snmp-info") are limited to SNMPv1
and SNMPv2c:

nmap --script-help=snmp* | grep -B3 -A1 -i v3

NPCAP 1.60 high CPU usage with pcap filter that does not pass anything (Win10) Vladimir Soldatov (Sep 17)
Hi guys,

I've a setup (Win10, Intel X520, NPCAP 1.60) with relatively high traffic
around 700 Mbit/s and I am trying to test the following cases:
1. Capture everything with empty pcap filter and just print stats with some
period calculating captured data size
2. Capture nothing with an intentionally created filter that does not match
the received traffic at all.
3. Capture some subset of traffic like 10%.

In all the cases, CPU usage...

How to make a minimal HTTPS request with ncat --ssl with explicit HTTP content? Ciro Santilli OurBigBook via dev (Sep 17)
Hello, I was trying for fun to make an HTTPS request with explicit hand-written HTTP content.

Something analogous to:

printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n' | ncat example.com 80

but for HTTPS. After Googling one of the tools that I found that seemed it might do the job was ncat from the nmap
project, so I tried:

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...

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...

Nmap 26th Birthday Announcement: Version 7.94 Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
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
Kulík, Brian Quigley, Sam James, Eli Schwartz, Romain Leonard, Varunram

Hacking the Edges of Knowledge: LLMs, Vulnerabilities, and the Quest for Understanding Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Nov 02)

It's impossible not to notice that we live in an age of technological
wonders, stretching back to the primitive hominids who dared to ask "Why?"
but also continually accelerating and pulling everything apart while it
does, in the exact same manner as the Universe at large. It is why all the

It was this experience that...

Developing Clairvoyance Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Sep 30)
As you know, humans like to invent comfort words. One of my favorites is
"luck". The theory being that yes, the universe has dice, but they are

us to have courage when a sober mind would quail. But when you become a
professional, you have to give up these crutches. Only poor poker players

Well this is rather timely! Although I'm not sure using an LLM for the

People doing software security often use LLMs more as orchestrators than
anything else. But there's so many more complicated ways to use them in our
space coming down the pipe. Obviously the next evolution of SBOMs

they represent not just what is contained in the code as some static tree
of library dependencies, but also what that code does in a summary fashion...

Before there were words, calculated as the softmax of a list of possible

"slow, but fast enough". In this sense, as we now know

Re: LLMs and refusals Jason Ross via Dailydave (Jul 25)
It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped
and seems to perform roughly on par with llama3 and gpt4o, so the next wave
of fine tuned versions like dolphin are almost certainly coming soon.

OpenAI also has announced free fine tuning of gpt4o mini until late
September (up to 2m tokens/day) so it may be possible to fine tune around
some of its guardrails for a reasonable cost.

Re: New home builders without wires Justin Streiner (Dec 20)
When my wife and I were preparing to build our house a few years ago, solid
terrestrial connectivity was one of the top things on my must-have list,
because we both work from home the vast majority of the time.

It took some tenacity with the local FTTH provider to determine if they
served this area, because we're in a very tiny portion of a ZIP code that's

Its not a technical problem, its a business problem. The business
incentives are messed up. One builder told me their margin on new houses
is about 15%. They try to optimize out any costs not required. Spending
money, so communication companies can save money later doesn't pay the

Re: MACSEC Tom Beecher (Dec 20)
Generally widely available and supported by all the major vendors, although
to the best of my knowledge only on specific hardware. Linux implementation
is pretty robust at this point as well.

Like anything else, different vendors have some implementation quirks , but
by and large the spec has been defined for almost 20 years, so it's mostly
fleshed out and quite stable at this point.

Distributed Router Fabrics Mike Hammett (Dec 20)
I've noticed that the whitebox hardware vendors are pushing distributed router fabrics, where you can keep buying pizza
boxes and hooking them into a larger and larger fabric. Obviously, at some point, buying a big chassis makes more
sense. Does it make sense building up to that point? What are your thoughts on that direction?

Rules Vicente Millan via Snort-sigs (Nov 13)
Good afternoon, I need some support. I use Snort for Pfsense on AWS Cloud and in addition to the rules we have, I need
to add or create others that monitor, inspect and alert/prevent covert malware communication channels. This is in order
to comply with PCI-DSS Version 4.01. If you can guide me in some way with some documentation on which rules I should
apply,

Thank you all.
