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...

Good day,

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%.

In all the cases, CPU usage...

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,

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...

Hacking the Edges of Knowledge: LLMs, Vulnerabilities, and the Quest for Understanding Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Nov 02)

It's impossible not to notice that we live in an age of technological
wonders, stretching back to the primitive hominids who dared to ask "Why?"
but also continually accelerating and pulling everything apart while it
does, in the exact same manner as the Universe at large. It is why all the
hackers you know are invested so heavily in Deep Learning right now, as if
someone got on a megaphone at Chaos...

It was this experience that...

Developing Clairvoyance Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Sep 30)
As you know, humans like to invent comfort words. One of my favorites is
"luck". The theory being that yes, the universe has dice, but they are
loaded in your favor. Properly used, these words are a spell - they allow
us to have courage when a sober mind would quail. But when you become a
professional, you have to give up these crutches. Only poor poker players

Well this is rather timely! Although I'm not sure using an LLM for the

sboms and LLMs Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Sep 11)
People doing software security often use LLMs more as orchestrators than
anything else. But there's so many more complicated ways to use them in our
space coming down the pipe. Obviously the next evolution of SBOMs

they represent not just what is contained in the code as some static tree
of library dependencies, but also what that code does in a summary fashion...

Cyber is Calvinball.

Persistence and Strategic Effects Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Aug 15)
Before there were words, calculated as the softmax of a list of possible

soaked in a hormonal brew of electrolytes, operating on a clock cycle of
"slow, but fast enough". In this sense, as we now know

Breaking down a prompt into multiple steps works pretty well for us. e.g.

Then I just shove the mean reasons into the system message (you can do this

Re: LLMs and refusals Jason Ross via Dailydave (Jul 25)
It's likely this is going to happen anyway, the new Mistral just dropped
and seems to perform roughly on par with llama3 and gpt4o, so the next wave
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.

Hi Bill,

RIRs already register resources to organisations in other regions. The
fact that many registrants of ASNs are from outside of the RIPE region
has been discussed recent RIPE meetings.

I asked RIR staff about this part of the text. They explained to me
that this part of the text was not intended as a restriction on
registering resources in another region. Instead, its goal was to

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology Matt Corallo (Nov 18)
Yep, that’s a great point, and IMO all the more reason to seek solutions that provide operators/other RIRs the ability
to respond by giving them human timescales, rather than things being taken out overnight.

Re: Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024 William Herrin (Nov 18)
Hi Tom,

I rejected the premise of your question. In my view, you tried to
shape it to get the answer you wanted.

If you expand the question to examples of a government jurisdiction
under which ICANN falls attempting to direct the action of a private
third-party organization in the tech industry in a manner that
contravenes otherwise lawful services to its customers, I refer you to
the above.

Hi Lee,

And except that telephone numbers and radio frequencies are allocated/managed by nation-states under UN-based
international treaty regimes. I’m not sure this is a particularly good model to follow.

As I suspect you’re aware, pragmatically, the geographical monopoly restrictions imposed by the RFCs/ICP-2 are
increasingly bypassed, resulting in those restrictions arguably merely adding unnecessary bureaucracy/cost. The
question is,...

Re: Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024 William Herrin (Nov 18)
You have to pick nits about whether a non-profit is a commercial
enterprise to decide the RIRs don't fit this definition.

Then no one will mistake it as sugar-coating the situation. You put
the thing in its worst possible light and if it still looks good it
probably is good. If it doesn't, maybe it should get another look.

Bill Herrin

Re: Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024 David Conrad via NANOG (Nov 18)
Hi Noah,

Not implying, simply stating a fact. This has been the case explicitly since the RIRs were established. See RFC 1366,
section 2.0, 2nd paragraph or, if you prefer, ICP-2, Principle 1, second sentence.

Regards,

Re: Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024 Tom Beecher (Nov 18)
It's also not an example of what I asked.

Re: Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024 William Herrin (Nov 18)
Clarity.

Good, bad or indifferent, the RIRs are a cartel of geographic
monopolies. As we talk about what they should be tomorrow, it's
helpful to understand what they are today.

Regards,
Bill Herrin

Hello.

First of all, please excuse me if this question is asked a lot.

I am a beginner and currently using the IPS Policy with the Business License.

I am not sure if Personal or Business License is right for me. Are the IPS policies different in any way for these two
licenses?

Best regards
