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?

Thanks!

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.

Thanks all!

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.

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

Full Disclosure — A public, vendor-neutral forum for detailed discussion of vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques, as well as tools, papers, news, and events of interest to the community. The relaxed atmosphere of this quirky list provides some comic relief and certain industry gossip. More importantly, fresh vulnerabilities sometimes hit this list many hours or days before they pass through the Bugtraq moderation queue.

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.

Firewall Wizards — Tips and tricks for firewall administrators

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.

Cyber Reasoning Systems Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Mar 04)
I continue to believe there are a lot of interesting questions around
building cyber reasoning systems for vuln finding. Even the very basics
seem hard to study and understand, and the eval datasets available
are....sparse or incomplete. For example, what you really want if you're
analyzing git repos is the commit a bug was introduced, and the commit it
was fixed. But usually you get "a commit where it maybe existed".

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).

The “conversation with an AI” approach where you imagine yourself as having a single artificial brain to interact with
is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

I designed one of the first working fuzzers (albeit unintentionally) back

code. It, however, worked - badly - but it worked. I was heavily flamed,
however, because as you stated - it was not hip. It only attacked
environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,
in the 90's and early 00's, we had no shortage of local suid-based...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Thomas Dullien via Dailydave (Jan 12)
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...

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Darren Bounds via Dailydave (Jan 12)
Everything old is new and the way we reason is the same way LLMs reason. It's
not about looking for the same problem the same way it's about going to
searching for that flaw the same way with unlimited (nearly) resources.

Traditional human-led vulnerability research and discovery is, today, a short
lived venture.

Things will change very rapidly over the coming 24 months.

(the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 11)
Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me
recently. You have to think to remember, in other words. This is hard to
grasp for a lot of people because they *think *they have *memories*. They
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.

ET is Emerging Threats, not Snort.

Your issue may be related to this issue,

I am running SNORT Version 2.9.16.1 GRE (Build 140)
In the update from 2025_02_21 the following rules are crashing all my sensors.

To fix this I had to put all the following rules into disablesid.conf to get sensors running.
