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.

[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

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...

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.

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

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...

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

preauthenticated sessions

Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard

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.

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: Recent Kernel exploits, attack surface reduction, example IPSEC Jeffrey Walton (May 16)
Another option on x86 is to isolate drivers from the kernel, and make
drivers Ring 1 or RIng 2. Leave the kernel to Ring 0, and userland to
Ring 3. A compromised driver cannot get root, and remains isolated in
the system.

It works on x86 because there are two supervisor bits on x86, not one
like on the old DEC Alphas.

Re: Recent Kernel exploits, attack surface reduction, example IPSEC Agostino Sarubbo (May 16)
Hello Hanno,

I understand your rationale. To reduce the "complexity" of your proposal,
those modules can be configured as modules (I mean CONFIG_[snip]=m)
and blacklisted by default in /etc/modprobe.d/
What do you think?

Re: Recent Kernel exploits, attack surface reduction, example IPSEC Valtteri Vuorikoski (May 16)
FWIW OpenWRT has had separate packaging for a long time for most driver and
protocol type kernel modules. I assume it was originally done for space-saving
reasons, but it has now become a useful feature for other reasons too. Their
strongswan package depends on the needed kmod packages, to continue with the
ipsec example.

So splitting up modules on a physical machine or VM seems fairly tractable. I
would expect that container users might be the...

Multiple of the recent kernel exploits have affected the "esp" Linux
Kernel module. ESP is, as far as I understand, part of IPSEC, and I
think it's fair to say that IPSEC is not widely used these days. I

As a moderator, I let this through as an exception. We do allow
occasional announcements of new security tools in here, and even
major version updates (but not minor ones). However, the tools have to
be Open Source, and this one is not exactly that - it has source code
available for non-commercial use, which wouldn't qualify as Open Source.
So strictly speaking, this is off-topic, and I don't intend to accept

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Randy Bush via NANOG (May 13)
and, as has been discussed a number of times, here there be dragons

randy

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Ray Bellis via NANOG (May 13)
There is no such BCP. There is a specification for how to this, but it
does not have (IETF) BCP status, not least because providing downstream
AXFR service to resolvers is not a formal part of the root server
system's function.

Ray

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Crist Clark via NANOG (May 12)
Of more interest is probably how the SOA values affect your and other
random operators’ resolvers. The BCP is for resolvers to AXFR the root zone
and not query the roots for recursive resolution. What values make sense
for that?

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Ray Bellis via NANOG (May 12)
It's true for the F-root nodes that I run.

Note however that as soon as the zone expires and the server at a site
starts returning SERVFAIL, a watchdog script detects this and withdraws
the Anycast BGP announcements for that site.

Microsoft MCC ASN Karl Morin via NANOG (May 12)
Hello NANOG community,

Hopefully someone from the Microsoft MCC (connected cache) team is part of
this mailing list.

We have been fighting for months with Microsoft to get them to
accept AS401485 as a valid ASN to host a caching server.

However, Microsoft still doesn't recognize this ASN as part of their valid
ASN range and claims we need to pay Azure support to get this
resolved which simply doesn't make sense in this context. This...

100% -- we do this too. In a pinch we've done "peering in a VRF", but I
wouldn't recommend it. It's a pain in the ass to set up, and an even
bigger pain to troubleshoot if you don't understand how it works. Plus
it doesn't scale.

Re: "Peering Router" Mark Tinka via NANOG (May 11)
This.

A dedicated peering router also ensures you eliminate providing transit
to a peer if you make a configuration error, as the peering router
neither carries the DFZ nor 0/0, ::/0.

Mark.

Re: Does SOA expire for root matters? Ray Bellis via NANOG (May 11)
Actually, no - it is all just AXFR, and each RSO transfers from a
private set of servers managed by the Root Zone Maintainer (Verisign).

IXFR doesn't work well for the root zone where RRSIGs are regenerated
twice every day.

I personally don't mix transit and peering duties on the same device. I

one of them has a problem or needs an update since it only affects its
own playground.
