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.

Re: NSE submission: detect & enumerate AI infrastructure (MCP servers + LLM inference APIs) Arturo 'Buanzo' Busleiman (Jun 30)

a couple weeks ago and forgot to mention here:

NSE submission: detect & enumerate AI infrastructure (MCP servers + LLM inference APIs) Ben Williams via dev (Jun 20)
Hi,
I've opened a PR adding three NSE scripts and two shared nselibs to detect and enumerate two classes of AI
infrastructure that nmap doesn't currently cover:

* mcp-info (discovery, safe, version) + mcp-enum (discovery, safe): MCP server detection (initialize handshake over
Streamable HTTP + legacy SSE), OAuth 2.1 protected-resource discovery (RFC 9728), and read-only tools/resources/prompts

[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.

[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:

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

I read the source code and, from what I understood, the current output

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...

tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.
We're not talking about dozens or hundreds of them-we processed more than

For OS detection, we added 336 signatures, bringing the new total to 6,036.

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me

the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a

Re: New DNS vulnerability: political overreach Tom Beecher via NANOG (Jul 21)
The US Department of Justice decided that they could seize any .com domain
back in 2012, and have done so with ever-increasing frequency since. Heck,
they are flexing literally today by seizing 1,000 more that were streaming
World Cup matches.

It's news to me that a state court issued a ruling to seize something, but
I'm sure it's happened before.

The cat has long been out of the bag here.

Kevin,

Please take this to ICANN. This is not a technical issue. If you are a business in anywhere in the world who knowingly
ignores legal request for other parts of the world _AND_ ignore the “bottom up” community driven ICANN governance
processes, then you are an idiot.

Thank you Keith.

Yeah, called that number about 10 times last night. Couldn’t get past India…

Anyways, got it figured out on my own with no help from Comcast.

Think we’ll be switching to a VOIP provider that provides actual support and cares about their customers.

Mike, try this:

For urgent technical support regarding an Edgewater Edgemarc device (often
used for Comcast Business internet or VoiceEdge systems), call Comcast
Business Support directly at (800) 391-3000.Alternatively, if your device
has an "EdgeView" service agreement, you can use the EdgeUser Support
portal to request a technician callback.

This is indeed. Politics has an annoying tendency to cause technical problems, the current one being how to protect the
DNS from political attack.

There's nothing new about this - TLS became ubiquitous because of the Snowden leaks. Nobody said "get this TLS talk off
my list because it's political"

That's why I'm asking if there's something similar people can do to secure DNS? Probably not at the moment and...

According to the press release, the domain was placed on registry lock by Verisign — it wasn’t done at the registrar.
As Verisign is a US company, they probably assume it’s prudent to abide by court orders, so it shouldn’t be too much of
a surprise.

The Telegram case is a bit more interesting given DomainME (registry, not registrar) is, according to the TechCrunch
