Wierd issue: nmap/nping misses (some) icmp repliesJohn Robson via dev (Dec 14)
Hi all,

I'm running into a weird issue that I can't quite get my head around.
As part of monitoring devices we use nmap to issue icmp echo requests
to a list of target devices, and obviously the lack of a reply is
worthy of generating an event/alert/alarm.

I am currently seeing sporadic events from a variety of target
devices, which clear on the next polling cycle (i.e. we miss one
response but get the following one sixty seconds...

Re: nmap to use with sudo (but prevent privilege escalation vectors)Robin Wood (Oct 29)
Hi
What about if you put nmap in a docker container and after each scan
threw the container away and built a new one for the next scan.

That way you could lock down as far as you can, but if the user
manages to read the shadow file or overwrite something important, they
would only destroy their instance and not affect the rest of the
system.

I will add though, my docker skills are very limited, so this is just
a vague idea that may be a load of...

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 7.94Gordon 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...

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:

Disclosure of CVE-2023-50917: RCE Vulnerability in MajorDoMBalgogan via Fulldisclosure (Dec 19)

MajorDoMo, a beacon in Russian home automation and particularly favored by Raspberry Pi aficionados, has been a trusted
name for over a decade. With over 380 stars on its official GitHub repository at the time of writing
(https://github.com/sergejey/majordomo), its popularity is evident. However, lurking within its `thumb.php` module is a
severe unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability before 0662e5e.

I’m in! I’ve spent a bunch of time on this topic, from the mechanical (donor advised funds, supporting organizations,

So we know a lot of people who've gone into Big Corpo or sold a company or

nothing wrong with that, a lot of them also try to use that money to change

A holiday reflection on: Training.Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Dec 19)
I think one thing this community does really well, better than almost any
other community I've found, is training. It's amazing, in a way,
because this is a community of professional secret holders. And yet
everywhere you look, a hacker is putting their heart and soul into
iterating on lab exercises for their class in whatever sub-field they are
an expert in.

And giving training is hard. It's hard in the way consulting is hard,...

simply configuring routers, firewalls, and security software. There was a
noticeable point where it became clear to really have an impact as a
security engineer required software development--whether it was creating
tools, reviewing code, or building security into products/services. And

Re: BlackHat and Defcon 2023Katie M via Dailydave (Aug 15)
The policy-making trend deserves its own thread.

Dave & I and a few others have done “deep policy work” which requires years
(not just a few meetings and summits) of pushing extremely unpopular
contrarian technical facts over desired policy outcomes that were drafted
by people who often don’t fundamentally understand how computers work.

that is building in that regard. DEF CON this year had 3 rooms assigned to

Re: CVE-2023-51766: Exim: SMTP smugglingDemi Marie Obenour (Jan 01)
I think the only reasonable thing for an SMTP server to do is to reject
all LFs and CRs in DATA that are not part of a proper CRLF outright.

Interesting, that also LF . LF is causing the effect. As there

That would grab all traffic from the host. You should be able to filter it down to only the traffic that is triggering
the event. Then use that to replay back into snort and check your rules/configuration. The ports listed below aren't
the defaults for MSSQL.

Re: Zoom meeting causes many [SERVER-MSSQL probe response overflow attempt]John via Snort-sigs (Dec 20)
I did not create a capture. It has been a long time since I used tcpdump. Is this the correct way to grab some
traffic?

Assuming the target IP is 10.9.5.106:

tcpdump -i eth0 host 10.9.5.106 -w /tmp/capture

Re: Zoom meeting causes many [SERVER-MSSQL probe response overflow attempt]Al Lewis (allewi) via Snort-sigs (Dec 19)
Do you have a pcap of the traffic that you can share?

Zoom meeting causes many [SERVER-MSSQL probe response overflow attempt]John via Snort-sigs (Dec 19)
When in a zoom meeting, snort is dropping hundreds of thousands packets which are getting flagged as:

206.247.41.152:8801 -> 10.1.2.202:60966

Is this a false positive?
