SecLists.Org Security Mailing List Archive

Any hacker will tell you that the latest news and exploits are not found on any web site—not even Insecure.Org. No, the cutting edge in security research is and will continue to be the full disclosure mailing lists such as Bugtraq. Here we provide web archives and RSS feeds (now including message extracts), updated in real-time, for many of our favorite lists.

Windows 10/11: Ncat: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer ... Ken Kayser (Feb 20)
*Describe the bug*
When listening to a port with ncat, as soon as a UDP packet is received, I
receive a constant stream of errors with the following text: "Ncat: A
message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message
buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a
datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself. ."

*To Reproduce*

Reverse DNS (issue #3007) Matteo Nicoli (Feb 13)
Hi all,

I noticed a cool feature proposal on GitHub (issue 3007 <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3007>). It basically
suggests a new feature for returning the (complete) list of DNS records obtained — through reverse DNS lookups — from
an IP address. If it matches with the map product roadmap, I’d like to start implementing it. Is there some maintainer
who could give me a brief feedback about it?

Cheers,
Matteo

Re: Mail stoppage Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Feb 12)
Yes, this was my fault. Mail to the Nmap dev list from non-subscribers
goes through moderation to keep out the spam. I regularly go through the
moderation queue to find and approve the "real" messages, but I was a bit
slow this time. We strongly recommend that folks posting to the list first
subscribe to it. This avoids the moderation delay and prevents them from
missing any responses which might only be sent to the list.

Cheers,...

PR #2954, Fix out of bounds reads in packet parsing Domen Puncer Kugler via dev (Feb 12)
Hi,

I've submitted a pull request a few months ago:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2954

The PR includes following three commits:
- Fix out of bounds read in HopByHopHeader::validate
- Fix out of bounds read in PacketParser::split
- Add AFL test code for PacketParser

This was found as a part of a short Hackathon at NCC Group.
As far as I can tell, there is no security impact, but it would still be nice
to see this fixed.

Kind regards

High-Priority HTML Parsing script astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello,

I noticed that under the high priority script ideas was the need for a library that parses HTML info from sites. I
wrote a script that uses a web crawler and extracts html info from attached pages and accompanying urls within the html
body. Let me know if this is what yall were after?

Hello all!

I just wrote up another script, trying to practice and maybe have some added to the master list for nmap. This script
enumerates possible hidden path extensions on urls. As always, Id love input on it, changes or updates.

Dear Nmap Community,

In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have

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

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Sean Heelan via Dailydave (Jan 13)
As it happens, I’ve found the most effective way to use LLMs is to de-anthropomorphise them entirely and treat them
very like fuzzers (large scale generation of results, lots of false positives/nonsense, filtered by some oracle).

is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,

Hey,

I have one quibble: We are using "reasoning" in a qualitative, not
descriptive, form here -- "fuzzing is or is not reasoning", "LLMs reason or
do not reason". I am not sure this is helpful. Fuzzing is empirically
successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and
smashes two stones together until they throw sparks does not, once the fire
burns, need to justify that 'stones perform...

Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me

wrongly think memory is a noun instead of a verb, which is ok in philosophy
and psychology but in cutting edge computer science we have to be precise
about these sorts of things.

Re: Engineering problems, not legal problems [was: Amazon AWS cloudfront WAF block] patrick via NANOG (May 29)
First, no company I know or have even heard of would let an engineer send a demand letter. Only lawyers do that. Also,
most companies (all? at least all big companies - to a first approximation) have rules around “if the other side
involves a lawyer, we have to engage one on our side”. If by some miracle an engineer did send the demand letter, it
would almost certainly still trigger legal involvement on the receiving end, which changes the...

Re: Engineering problems, not legal problems [was: Amazon AWS cloudfront WAF block] William Herrin via NANOG (May 29)
Hi Patrick,

The point of demand letters is to cut through the bureaucracy to that
"knowledgeable person" you mentioned. When the organization offers
more reasonable ways to reach that "knowledgeable person," demand
letters are rarely necessary. You can think of a demand letter as the
last engineering solution you try before falling back on legal
processes to compel change.

I respect everyone's right to block my traffic. It's mere courtesy for them to at least say that so we can relay that
insensitivity to our customers. PR nightmares are bad regardless of who starts them. As others have shared in my

That is correct as far as it goes. However, if I *tell you* that
you're hurting me and your response is, "I don't believe you and I
can't be bothered to check," you are acting in bad faith. That doesn't
necessarily make it unlawful, but any protections you had based on

If not, can we maybe just suggest that everyone consults with their own lawyers about what actions they do or do not
