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.

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...

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:

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%.

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

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,
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

Other Excellent Security Lists
Bugtraq — The premier general security mailing list. Vulnerabilities are often announced here first, so check frequently!
Security Basics — A high-volume list which permits people to ask "stupid questions" without being derided as "n00bs". I recommend this list to network security newbies, but be sure to read Bugtraq and other lists as well.
Penetration Testing — While this list is intended for "professionals", participants frequenly disclose techniques and strategies that would be useful to anyone with a practical interest in security and network auditing.
Info Security News — Carries news items (generally from mainstream sources) that relate to security.
IDS Focus — Technical discussion about Intrusion Detection Systems. You can also read the archives of a previous IDS list
Web App Security — Provides insights on the unique challenges which make web applications notoriously hard to secure, as well as attack methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery, and more.
Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip. It was started by ImmunitySec founder Dave Aitel and many security luminaries participate. Many posts simply advertise Immunity products, but you can't really fault Dave for being self-promotional on a list named DailyDave.

It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped

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.

Improper authentication of an HTTP endpoint in the S3 Gateway of Apache Ozone 1.4.0 allows any authenticated Kerberos
user to revoke and regenerate the S3 secrets of any other user. This is only possible if:

I emailed to security () kernel org, but no reply received.
This email is a correction to my previous email. The previous mail points
out that sco_sock_timeout deferences the freed "sk" and thus triggers the
UAF.

Hi,
Well, I guess we are still expecting this to be handled via

to sco_conn lifetime, and the patches mentioned above do not affect
the sco_connect to be invoked while helding sock_hold (proposed fix),
that said first we probably need to confirm the problem is still
reproducible upstream, if that is still reproducible I suspect we can
apply a similar fix that was done for...

Description:
Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in the Apache Arrow R package versions 4.0.0 through

Re: tuned: local root exploit in D-Bus method instance_create and other issues in tuned >= 2.23 (CVE-2024-52336, CVE-2024-52337) Simon McVittie (Nov 28)
This should be easily resolvable if the authors of tuned want to do so,
without needing to resort to relying on hard-to-predict cookie values.
Clients of the D-Bus system bus can identify other clients of the system
bus, by calling the GetConnectionCredentials method on the message bus
itself (this is how polkit works).
So, if tuned's design constraints allow a model where a cookie is only
considered valid to release if it was allocated by...

Beyond that, my home (c. 1996) has RJ-45 stapled to the studs every X feet,

RE: New home builders without wires Colin Stanners (lists) (Dec 03)
It's easy and relatively cost-effective to make a new home pretty
future-proof for connectivity by running conduit (of sufficient size,
without tight bends) from the telecom area to the outlet box(es) in each
room. For today run a coax and one or two cat6A; then whatever system
appears in the future can quickly replace those in the conduit. Considering
the importance of telecommunication/entertainment it's a surprise that very

Re: New home builders without wires William Herrin (Dec 03)

Re: New home builders without wires Tim Howe (Dec 03)
It's always too late.
Installing facilities after the fact will cost 50 times more
than if they had been done during neighborhood construction. Nobody
will want to pay for that. It will not pencil out for a competing
provider to foot the bill... Especially when they can expect a low
take rate competing with a cheap alternative that is "good enough" for
most folks.

As some may remember from earlier this year, my friend was buying a new

The home builder was not installing any wired broadband utilities in the

only option was wireless, with a special deal with a...

Re: Carrier Ethernet Demarc Mark Tinka (Nov 29)
Not at all. NRZ is resilient at those distances. I was referring more to
PAM4... should have made that clearer :-).
Yep, NRZ will be fine at those distances. I have ran a 100G-ZR4 NRZ plug
on a 32km link successfully, where the 100G-ER4 struggled, due to the
fibre quality.
But those are grey plugs, which is why to get a cheap DWDM-based PAM4
option means you will need amplification and DCM to get beyond 10km.
Either that, or go coherent....

From my experience 30km is also possible with NRZ. We have a few ER4
