[PATCH] nselib/bitcoin: add address classification helpers (refs #2857, PR #3371) Melo via dev (May 25)
PR #3371 adds three functions to nselib/bitcoin.lua:

- looks_like_address(value) -- regex candidate detection
- validate_address(value) -- Base58Check, Bech32, Bech32m validation
- classify_address(value) -- high-level classification

Supports mainnet, testnet, and regtest with full unittest (38/38 pass).
No network calls, no external APIs, no real keys, no changes to existing scripts.

[NSE] matter-identify: identify Matter smart-home devices via mDNS Balázs Zoltán (May 11)
Hi,

Attached is matter-identify.nse, a new discovery script for identifying
Matter (formerly Project CHIP) smart-home devices.

It sends DNS PTR queries to 5353/udp for the three Matter service types
defined in the Matter Core Spec section 4:

_matter._tcp.local commissioned / operational nodes
_matterc._udp.local nodes in commissioning mode
_meshcop._udp.local Thread border routers

[PATCH 0/5] ALPN-based HTTP/2 service detection improvements Urval Kheni (Apr 14)
Hi,

This patch series introduces ALPN-based improvements to service detection
for TLS services.

It adds support for extracting the negotiated ALPN protocol and uses
"h2" as a conservative fallback signal to infer HTTP over TLS when
service detection fails.

This improves detection of HTTP/2-only services, which return binary
responses not recognized by existing probes.

The changes are structured as follows:

1. Fix OpenSSL provider...

Bug Report: ssl-enum-ciphers fails (EOF) on CloudFront/ECDSA targets supporting TLS 1.2 Jack Seredyniecki via dev (Apr 14)
Hello nmap dev team,

I am reporting a false negative where ssl-enum-ciphers fails to detect TLS
1.2 on a CloudFront target (itwisegroup.com:443) that uses an ECDSA
certificate and Post-Quantum hybrid key exchange (X25519MLKEM768).
While sslscan and openssl confirm TLS 1.2 is active, Nmap reports only TLS
1.3. My debug logs show the server is dropping the connection (EOF) during
the Nmap TLS 1.2 handshake attempt:

[PATCH] Support Linux capabilities for non-root raw packet scanning Ali Norouzi via dev (Apr 14)
Hi everyone,

I just opened a PR that adds support for Linux capabilities, allowing nmap to
perform raw packet scans without sudo when the binary has `CAP_NET_RAW` set via
setcap:

Fix for issue #3326 advait deshmukh (Apr 14)
Issue link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3326>
Pull request link <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3337>
I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output
appears to be intentional. The ipv4 value being shown seems to refer to the
next header, i.e., the protocol of the packet encapsulated within the outer
packet, which in this case is IPv6.
Since the user has explicitly specified -6 in the command, it...

GSoC 2026: Password Security Wizard - Optimizing the NSE Brute Library Adithya Shetty (Mar 02)
Hi Nmap Development Team and Fotis,

My name is Adithya, and I am a 4th-semester Computer Science student
specializing in Cybersecurity. I am writing to express my strong interest
in the "Password Security Wizard" project for GSoC 2026.

Over the past few days, I have cloned the repository, set up my build

several of the -brute.nse scripts (specifically focusing on...

Question about Nmap and GSoC 2026 Sweekar (Jan 29)
Hi Nmap developers,

I am a student contributor and have previously worked on Nmap. I am
preparing for Google Summer of Code 2026 and wanted to ask whether Nmap is
considering participating as a mentoring organization this year, or if
there are no plans at this time.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining such an important project.

Best regards,
Sweekar

Npcap Version 1.82 Released with VLAN Tagging and More Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 28)
Dear Nmap Community,

In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have
released Version 1.82 of our Npcap Windows packet capture and transmission
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
useful for Wireshark users. You can also now send...

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...

Re: Dovecot Security Advisory OXDC-2026-0002 Noel Butler via Fulldisclosure (May 25)
So when is the fix for dovecot 2.3 source code due to be released?

Since by your wording by not including the first detected versions, it
must be assumed 2.3 is affected, and as no EOL has been published or
announced for 2.3.x, and as 2.3 is the still the most popular used
version by far, should be prudent one is released, given a few more
serious fixes have been made in recent times.

RE//verse, DistrictCon, an Anole Friend Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Feb 02)
Last month was DistrictCon, a great conference that I did not attend
because the sky decided to dump snow on Washington, DC. Anyone who has
spent more than ten minutes in that city knows this is how you cancel every
flight out of DCA and turn the roads into skating rinks filled with deeply
furious government contractors. Life is short, so I remained in Miami where
it was 80 degrees and everyone was pretending winter is a myth.

For reasons I still don’t fully understand, Miami Beach has enormous

interstates, perched like huge awkward toddlers on lampposts, or standing
motionless as a shadow in the strip of grass between the road and the blue
water of the bay. If you look up at almost any moment, there’s a column of
them somewhere overhead, wings spread wide, fingers splayed, feeling the...

Re: Defense ? Dean Pierce via Dailydave (Nov 16)
I like the idea of having a software supply chain that people can pay into
that basically funds a universal bug bounty system for anything that
matters.

You can put systems in place that utilize zero knowledge exploitability
proofs to automate bounty triage, so it doesn't even need to be run by a
central trusted entity. As the bounty markets stabilize, what you're left
with is a software ecosystem where anyone can build what they need...

Re: Defense ? Chris Anley via Dailydave (Nov 16)
(gingerly raises head above parapet)

Historically, “we’ve” moved the bar in defense.

- Everything is now in the cloud, accessible 24/7 via APIs whose keys are stored in plaintext alongside code, or via
preauthenticated sessions
- Everything has ~40 dependencies, each of which has ~40 dependencies, etc, which, combined with a published CVE rate
of 1 per 15 minutes (calendar year 2024), means that patching an enterprise before an...

Re: Defense ? Alfonso De Gregorio via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard
to bridge also in the presence of greater degrees of automation that
AI buys us, because, at this stage, we want humans to be in the loop –
and for good reasons – and, also, cause we are not going to grow the
skillset faster than the attack surface, I am afraid.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I will take a bite
regardless: those imbalances are a byproduct of the...

Re: Defense ? Conan Dooley via Dailydave (Nov 16)
Reduce complexity, duplication, and scope in your infrastructure. Your
developers and infrastructure staff would need to agree on standardized

scope, and make them accountable for making sure adding that level of
complexity led to business value that was greater than that overhead (vs,

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me
thinks that you're just not going to patch your way out of the problem. But
the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a
difference seems pretty small? Like even converting every Linux binary to
rust would only make sense if you could find a team that could actually
maintain and support that code base, which I don't know that you could.

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Saku Ytti via NANOG (Jun 08)
Thanks Raymond, cursory look makes it look quite usable.

There are purpose-built BGP libraries, but they're all more or less
unmaintained, as they're not part of dog-fooding by building daemon
around it, which seems crucial for survival.

e.g.
https://github.com/Nat-Lab/libbgp

(many many other, but none, afaik, anywhere near maturity of any of

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Raymond Burkholder via NANOG (Jun 08)
You may not think of them like Internet APIs, but there is a kind of
tightly bound library access to FRR:
https://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/library.html

FRR does have some hooks for customization.  It also has a Lua scripting
interface:
https://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/scripting.html

There is an ability to add your own callback hooks, command line
additions, ... and other stuff.

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Mark Tinka via NANOG (Jun 05)
It's one of the reasons we are running OSPF on FRR in lieu of IS-IS.

It's possible IS-IS has moved on since I last tried it around 2020, but
an IP network is no longer our main production platform (our use-case is
a DCN), so I have no incentive to tinker with the current setup.

Mark.

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Mark Tinka via NANOG (Jun 05)
We have 8 devices running FRR for iBGP to form our DCN. 2 of those 8
devices are RR's, and the other 6 are clients.

7 of the devices are pfSense running FRR, and the other one is FreeBSD
running FRR.

All of them are running WireGuard to create the mesh with OSPF (multiple
cities around the world), and iBGP on top of OSPF.

Haven't hit any drama.

FRR in pfSense is very forgiving, because they assume many roadblocks on
your behalf....

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Saku Ytti via NANOG (Jun 05)
I'm not protesting the count of BGP implementations, the more the merrier.
I'm protesting the lack of BGP libraries.

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Douglas Fischer via NANOG (Jun 05)
Regarding the multiplicity of daemons for BGP.

I believe it's only necessary to say that there are daemons with different
purposes.
- FRR, for instance, most of the time doesn't allow you to break what the
protocol proposes. To do that, you have to go down several layers, which
isn't simple.
- ExaBGP, for example, is designed so that you can do "anything you want"
with the routes, regardless of whether they respect basic...

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Tom Samplonius via NANOG (Jun 04)
Saku,

I don’t frequently agree with your posts, but I agree with this. FRR is embedded in a lot of systems, and sometimes
is somehow buried underneath a second CLI. These layers of config files frequently cause configuration de-sync issues.
So the top level configuration that I see, is different from the configuration that FRR is using.

I realize it is somewhat different, but it similar to the entire issue of “commit” versus...

Re: FRR for BGP route reflectors? Saku Ytti via NANOG (Jun 04)
It boggles my mind that someone goes 'I'm going to write this very
complex daemon' and then they proceed to write monolithic tightly
coupled CLI+daemon+logic.

So we have a huge collection of BGP implementations, as mentioned just
here, frr, gobgp, bird, rustybgp, openbgp, exabgp and many many
others. But we don't really have any BGP library approaching a similar
maturity level. While to me it seems it should have been an...

Healthcare organizations face rising ransomware attacks – and are paying up Matthew Wheeler (Jun 03)
https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/03/healthcare-ransomware-pay-sophos/
