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

HTTP2 cleartext service probe Harrison Neal (Dec 24)
Good day,

In instances where HTTP2 is used cleartext without TLS+ALPN (a.k.a., h2c,
prior knowledge), nmap does not appear to have a service probe.

The following is something really simple based on RFC7540, which covers the
initial client message and the server's initial SETTINGS frame. The match
regex below ignores the length (RFC says the server's initial SETTINGS
frame can be empty, nghttpd appears to provide a single entry for...

GitHub PR #3214: Add compatibility fixes for various OSes + multiplatform autobuilds Jordan Ritter (Oct 30)
Just submitted https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3214 — I think the contributing guidelines say to give an extra heads
up via email, so this is that email.

The PR adds compilation fixes for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, macOS, and Windows, against current master (on

Re: .NET Wrapper for Npcap Daniel Miller (Oct 30)
Steve,

Npcap ought to work with any existing WinPcap wrapper, since the API is
backwards-compatible. I have not used any C# wrappers myself, though I am
aware of SharpPcap (https://github.com/dotpcap/sharppcap) as another.

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//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.

Today it is...

feeling the air Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Jan 05)
For reasons I still don’t fully understand, Miami Beach has enormous
colonies of turkey vultures. You’ll see them circling over the city and the
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
libraries, frameworks, etc, and you'd need skilled technical staff to
validate when people said doing something wasn't possible within that
scope, and make them accountable for making sure adding that level of
complexity led to business value that was greater than that overhead (vs,
say, just...

Defense ? Dave Aitel via Dailydave (Nov 15)
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.

So I just got back from "Offensive AI Conference" in San Diego and it was a

Re: FreeRDP fixes 12 CVEs in 3.22.0 release Solar Designer (Feb 09)
All 3 of these "Heap-buffer-overflow" issues are actually out of bounds
reads, per ASan. It's another case of ASan mislabeling this, and people
blindly copying what it says into advisories and CVE titles.

It can't be ruled out (without code review) that if the out of bounds
reads did not terminate processing, some of them could possibly be
followed by out of bounds writes. However, ASan is currently unable to
find this.

Hi Serhii,

Thank you for the question. I'll share our approach, but since you've raised an important design question, I'd
genuinely welcome your thoughts on how we could improve this - perhaps a portal for ASN operators or geofeed providers
to flag issues directly.

We use a scoring model that weighs multiple data sources: active measurements, geofeeds, WHOIS data, and others. When
they conflict, we make decisions based on what...

RE: Geofeeds are adversarial — was Re: Geofeeds are good Serhii via NANOG (Feb 16)
Hey Abdullah,

A lot of network operators here highlighted the fact they specifically maintain their geofeeds to ensure GeoIP services
to serve accurate information. Also, it was mentioned in the thread that not many networks publish geofeed (or share
one with you). Therefore, why wouldn't your team consider flagging "adversial" geofeeds/networks instead of relying
onto whatever your active probing network is?

If ipinfo...

Re: Geofeeds are adversarial — was Re: Geofeeds are good Tom Beecher via NANOG (Feb 16)
Ryan-

Geofeeds don’t ‘help’ IPInfo because they ignore them if their measurement
platform comes up with a conflicting result.

Anyone who publishes a geofeed has already provided the answers for free.
Why should I help a commercial entity clean up the data that they sell when
I’ve already done the work to give the answers for nothing?

Geofeeds are automated submissions and corrections, which helps them regardless. Are you not going to produce and

One observation from watching similar debates over the years – the period in which the Internet technical community

The data returned for me is semi-accurate. The postal code is incorrect
even though whois has the correct postal code for the ASN and IP Address.

Server isn't dual stacked, so only getting IPv4 info. Unless I utilize
the URL based IPv6 lookup which does work. Would be nice if the server
was dual-stacked and returned the IPv6 connection details and probed the
IPv4 information via a single stacked source.

The business models predate widespread consumer use of the internet,
though, right? Region-based live sports blackouts go all the way back to
broadcast TV. So the business models may have been expanded and adapted
to internet video streaming, but they didn't "come along" afterward.

Re: Geofeeds are adversarial Mel Beckman via NANOG (Feb 16)
Any law based on the idea that IP addresses can locate users at the U.S. state level is poorly conceived, as
geolocation at that granularity is 80% accurate at best, with radically lower accuracy at state borders. Fitting to
state boundaries is simply not a deployment constraint in any edge network. The inaccuracy worsens with population
density, which is arguably where such laws need the highest accuracy for realistic enforcement.

It would...

Re: Geofeeds are adversarial nanog--- via NANOG (Feb 16)
It would be nice if bad laws were impossible to comply with. Then nobody would comply with them.

Then someone comes along and finds there's a way to sell the appearance of complying with the law (even though actual
compliance is impossible) as a service, and everybody is forced to buy the service so they don't get prosecuted.

Just one more instance of bad politics and capitalism messing everything up for everybody.

Re: Geofeeds are adversarial ??? was Re: Geofeeds are good Michael Greenup via NANOG (Feb 16)
It is important to consider the extent to which US state government mandates influence the regulation of content
access. For instance, numerous states now require identity verification for viewers of adult content to confirm their
age. Many of these laws are formulated such that any viewer within the state's jurisdiction must be verified,
necessitating IP address-based geolocation to ensure compliance.

Not saying I agree or disagree...
