Re:New OS fingerprint: China Unicom ONT/ONU (Realtek/Boa) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

I'd like to submit service fingerprints for a China Unicom GPON ONT (model PT927G) that I found in my home network.
This device runs a Linux-based firmware (kernel 3.18.24) and exposes several services.

**Device Information**:
- Model: PT927G
- Vendor: China Unicom (customized)
- Hardware hint: SMB share comment mentions "Realtek", suggesting a Realtek chipset.

**Service Fingerprints**:
1. **HTTP (port...

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi developers,

I'd like to add a service fingerprint for port 37443/tcp on the Huawei AX3 router.

This port runs SSL/TLS and requires client certificate authentication (mTLS). When connecting with a self-signed client
certificate, the server rejects it with a "unknown ca" alert, indicating that it verifies the client certificate
against a trusted CA.

**Certificate details:**

Subject: CN=Master.ws7100-10, O=Huawei Technologies...

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous submissions (OS fingerprint and NSE script for the Huawei AX3), I've conducted a full port
scan and discovered two additional services that may help refine the service fingerprint database.

**1. Port 37215/tcp – UPnP**
- Service identified as: `Huawei ATP gateway upnpd`
- This seems to be already correctly matched in `nmap-service-probes`. I just wanted to confirm its presence.

**2. Port...

PATCH] New NSE script: huawei-ax3-info.nse

Hi Nmap developers,

Following up on my previous OS fingerprint submission for the Huawei AX3 router (Message-ID:
<335797c9.5fe8.19fb73084b0.Coremail.gbfdhenr () 163 com>), I've developed an NSE script to extract device information

Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Jul 31)
Hi Nmap team,

I've encountered a clear OS detection misidentification that I believe should be corrected.

**Device in question**:
- A Huawei home router (MAC OUI: 30:A9:98 -> Huawei Device)
- Open ports: 53, 80, 443 (typical router/AP, not a headless switch)
- Running: Linux-based firmware (likely 3.18.24)

**Current incorrect result**:
Nmap 7.99 reports it as: "Netgear GS108Tv3, GS110Tv3, or GS308T switch (Linux 3.18.24)"...

[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:

- validate_address(value) -- Base58Check, Bech32, Bech32m validation
- classify_address(value) -- high-level classification

[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
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
perform raw packet scans without sudo when the binary has `CAP_NET_RAW` set via
setcap:

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...

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)

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.

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
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

Re: Whois using these ARIN services?? (fwd: Consultation on the Future of ARIN???s Directory Services) Mike Lyon via NANOG (Aug 21)
Curious, why retire Whois?

With the ever increasing ARIN rates, can y’all not afford to continue the service?

As it stands now, every time i use the whois web client (couple times a week), it never loads the first time (on any
device and on any network i’m on) and i have to reload the page.

How hard and expensive can it be to keep a whois webpage up and running?

Re: Whois using these ARIN services?? (fwd: Consultation on the Future of ARIN???s Directory Services) William Herrin via NANOG (Aug 21)
I just did a "whois" on my own domains and found it still working. And
I checked under the hood - the client isn't using RDAP.

Maybe there's a disconnect between announcement and practice here? And
the lack of outcry is because pragmatically speaking whois still
works?

John,

Your email says "This transition is an important step toward improving
alignment with established IETF standards.", aligning a new feature to a
standard doesn't mean shutting down a service that is used in so many ways,
and expecting users to rely on a service that by your own admission isn't
the standard in todays OS deployments.

Is Snort3 no longer being developed? Dheeraj Gupta via Snort-devel (Aug 20)
Hi,

The official Snort3 github repo has had no new commits since almost 4
months. Last commit was on 24-Apr-2026 (Snort3 rel 3.12.2.0). Has Cisco
made any announcement regarding change in status of Snort3 project which I
may have missed?

Thanks,
Dheeraj
