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.

About ListBug Fix for SMB Version Formatting in Nmap 7.93+ Yam Mesicka (Apr 11)
Hi Nmap Developers,
I've identified a bug in Nmap in Nmap 7.93 and 7.94 related to inconsistent
formatting of SMB versions detected by Nmap's SMB scripts.
The issue:
* Nmap 7.94 outputs "3:1:1"
* Nmap 7.93 outputs "311"
* Expected format (as in Nmap 7.92) is "3.1.1"
This inconsistency can cause problems for scripts that rely on accurate SMB
version information. To address this, I've:
* Opened an...
Misconception about how pcap_getevent() is meant to be used Jan Danielsson (Mar 10)
Hello,
When browsing/reading about pcap_getevent(), I got the impression
that its intended use was roughly this (pseudo-code):
----------
cap = open_device(..);
hev = pcap_getevent(cap);
while(1) {
// block and wait for data to become available for reading
dw = WaitForMultipleObjects([hev]);
if(dw == FIRST_INDEX) {
// Enter a loop that calls pcap_next() until the buffer is empty
}
}
----------
I.e. pcap_getevent()...

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
Ganesh, Pavel Zhukov, Carey Balboa, and Hasan Aliyev for...
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...
Npcap Versions 1.70 and 1.71 improve Windows packet capturing performance, stability, security, and compatibility Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Sep 01)
Hello folks. While the Nmap Project has been quiet lately (this is my
first post of the year), I'm happy to share some great progress on both
Nmap and Npcap development. Starting with our Npcap Windows packet
capturing/sending library, I'm happy to report that we quietly released
Version 1.70 in June and then 1.71 on August 19. They include many key
improvements:

In flatpak, apps in container communicate with host through portals[1] using dbus.
Portals identify particular app through unique appid (i.e. "org.mozilla.firefox"

My priorities are:

nevertheless may use namespaces in some systemd services by default,
which I'd like to keep working seamlessly. On such systems, it should
be possible to reduce the kernel's exposure to a level we had prior to
unprivileged user namespaces. Right now, upstream's only max_* settings
break those systemd services (just the sandboxing...
Re: Linux: Disabling network namespaces Solar Designer (Apr 21)
Thanks, I didn't expect it was this advanced already.
In what exact way would nested namespaces bypass the security design of
Flatpak? Is this about the kernel's attack surface exposed by
capabilities in a namespace or something else? I guess capabilities are
also dropped in the nested namespace?
After reviewing some kernel code, I have doubts as to how effective the
dropping of capabilities in a namespace actually is....

Hi Jason,
issue here. Because you mentioned Spectrum Shield, I suspect it is not.
I appreciate the response and links. However, I've been told repeatedly by
Spectrum that they're not blocking with Spectrum Shield. Despite these
assurances, I've filled out a removal request through their published
removal process several times, and the response I received stated that
we're not being blocked. This check agrees with that:...
Re: Help with removing DNS shinkhole FP from Charter/Spectrum Livingood, Jason via NANOG (Apr 23)
I suspect what’s happened is an incorrect assumption that DNS is even the issue here. Because you mentioned Spectrum

Spectrum Shield (https://www.spectrum.com/resources/internet-wifi/benefits-of-spectrum-security-shield) is a

No, really they did not. I read the decisions. Have you? Hint: under

I will believe that there are people that cave in response to threats like

Re: Help with removing DNS shinkhole FP from Charter/Spectrum Mel Beckman (Apr 22)
Bill is absolutely correct. The spammers lost their case because they were demonstrably spammers. We’ve had accidental
black hole cases with *US* providers that removed the block once they received a C&D. If they don’t have iron clad
proof in hand. (More than just a few complaints and no traffic analysis), it’s just the least risky response.
That doesn’t work well with overseas providers, though, because they’re essentially...
Re: Help with removing DNS shinkhole FP from Charter/Spectrum William Herrin (Apr 22)
Hi John,
I'll try not to belabor it, but accidental that isn't corrected upon
formal legal notification becomes negligent and negligent has more or
less the same legal status as malicious.
The spammers lost because the networks published a terms of use
document that the spammers unambiguously violated. Even though it
interfered with the spammer's business, the block was merited so the
preponderance of the evidence fell in favor...
Re: Help with removing DNS shinkhole FP from Charter/Spectrum John R. Levine (Apr 22)
I'm familiar with it.
But I am also familar with many cases were spammers have sued network
operators claiming that they're falsely defamed, so the operator has to
deliver their mail. They have without exception lost. If you can find
actual cases where a court forced an operator to deliver a third party's
traffic I would like to hear about it.*

calls to `KTriePrefixMatch` pass `Tnocase` as the useful parameter. Is this
intended?
