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

PR #3277: Clean up and harden POP3 helper login functions Sweekar (Jan 23)
Hello Nmap Developers,
As suggested in CONTRIBUTION.md i am writing this mail to notify about my PR

This PR refactors and fixes the POP3 authentication helper functions used
by NSE scripts, including pop3-brute.nse.

Main changes:

-

Hardened SASL LOGIN handling

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

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...

Dear Nmap Community,

I just arrived in San Francisco for the RSA conference and am delighted to

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.

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

it was 80 degrees and everyone was pretending winter is a myth.

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...

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

preauthenticated sessions
- Everything has ~40 dependencies, each of which has ~40 dependencies, etc, which, combined with a published CVE rate

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...

Reduce complexity, duplication, and scope in your infrastructure. Your

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

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

maintain and support that code base, which I don't know that you could.

Re: OpenSC, ghostscript, cgif issues from the recent Anthropic disclosure Eli Schwartz (Feb 20)
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/pull/3554

I think this indicates they made the change solely because they were fed
up with "security report harassment" and hoped that by making a change
they saw as pointless, they could "defang" LLM tooling that reports "use
of xxx function *could* be buggy, you use the function, we shall report
it by assuming it is indeed buggy".

OpenSC, ghostscript, cgif issues from the recent Anthropic disclosure Joe Malcolm (Feb 20)
Many will have seen the recent post from Anthropic (1) and associated reporting that says they found 500+
vulnerabilities and lists 3 of them. These three issues don’t appear to have CVEs and two don’t appear in releases. I
don’t know if that indicates the maintainers don't agree with the significance of these findings, but I wonder if the
other 498+ vulnerabilities also lack CVEs.

Re: MIT/Heimdal Kerberos credentials cache type FILE risks Jacob Bachmeyer (Feb 19)
I would that think in such a scenario, the client should be presenting a
Kerberos service ticket to the POP/IMAP server.

If PAM is creating the ticket cache when the session is opened, then PAM
should also be destroying the ticket cache when the session is closed.

If the server is opening PAM sessions, but never closing them, then that
is a bug in the server, not Kerberos.

I was thinking that it also depends on when the service last renewed...

Re: MIT/Heimdal Kerberos credentials cache type FILE risks Jacob Bachmeyer (Feb 19)
Excellent, someone with more and/or more-recent knowledge on the topic!  :-)

That is an interesting way of looking at it.  The report seemed to me to
be describing hijacking user accounts after cracking a service.  I agree
that this is a greater risk for services, but also that those risks are
well-known, and I add that a service should have much narrower access
than a user.

Exactly.  The risks here are already well-known; the report is...

That's also possible for services that accept usernames and passwords and

course best practices in those cases is to immediately discard the

It is true that some methods of doing that will result in a ticket cache

It's been some years since I've worked on Kerberos extensively, but I

keyring formats and do not know how usable KEYRING caches are these days,

That would be the first warning sign.

And this would be a second strike.

My summary up front:  this report is bogus.

I would not be so sure about FILE being unsafe at all.

While I cannot claim to be an expert on Kerberos, I did once seriously
evaluate deploying Kerberos telnet for server administration at a
previous $WORK, so I do know some aspects of the system.

Re: Re: zlib security audit by 7asecurity Sevan Janiyan (Feb 18)
I did some more digging and found that on OS X 10.6 (from 2009) and
prior vsnprintf() is not used because of the discrepancy in gzguts.h,
though configure is happy.
On OS X 10.7 (from 2011) onwards you're good if you stick to the default
compiler which is clang.
If you switch to the fallback secondary compiler (llvm-gcc 4.2) then
you'll have the same issue as OS X 10.6 and prior, when building on OS X
10.7 & 10.8 (from 2012)....

Generally you would need to change those values with the registrar.
Maybe try changing the registrar-set values to a different value and then
back? I'm thinking it might force an update message to refresh the state.

Who is in charge of the gtld-servers (for .net)? They have an incorrect
glue record for just one of our domains. For the other domains that use that
server, the glue record is fine.

Can't change it at Network Solutions - they claim the IP is correct.
