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:**

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...

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 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:

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
6,500 fingerprints!

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

Re: how about a well-known DOWNGRADE BGP Community? (Was: RTBH Support Across the Industry) Lukas Tribus via NANOG (Aug 04)
Hello,

I would be very happy to see this feature implemented at transit
providers, because it takes the guesswork out of RTBH and allows
visibility into the attack patterns without sacrificing not attacked
destinations.

But ... TL;DR: know the routing platform your are implementing this on
inside and out.

Take an ASR9000 for example. A basic implementation that sets a
ingress qos-group/cos/dscp/exp bit for the attacked /32 and has an
egress...

Re: how about a well-known DOWNGRADE BGP Community? (Was: RTBH Support Across the Industry) Saku Ytti via NANOG (Aug 04)
You won't need the MPLS family to map DCU to class, because at the
time when we do the lookup, it's either IPv4 or IPv6. If we do mpls
lookup, we've already decided that it's BE or LE.

This is the ingress PE which will decide how the packet goes through
the network and the transit P doing MPLS lookup will just honor the
EXP bits as imposed by ingress PE.

Of course the same config works fine without MPLS too, and the transit...

Saku-

Thanks for link. This is what I had in mind, but I presumed if output interface was into an LSP maybe I'd need output
filter in family MPLS. At this point, I'll just try this out in the lab.

We use BetterStack.com. They do offsite Ping monitoring and then reflect that in your custom status page that they
build and host. One thing I like about it is even if we have a major outage, customers can still get this Status page
since it’s hosted offsite. There’s not really a way for you to feed your own internal probes to it, but you can put up

Re: IS-IS Flat Network Size Mark Tinka via NANOG (Aug 02)
Yes, large networks with Metro-E rings can either have a flat L2 domain
that communicates between the core and metro, or can have BGP-LU
separating them (as you say, the Seamless MPLS definition).

I suppose in either case, a single L2 domain remains as the only scope,
whether separated by BGP-LU or not.

I have ran both topologies without issue, but admittedly, different scales.

Mark.

Re: IS-IS Flat Network Size Saku Ytti via NANOG (Aug 02)
I think 'end-to-end' here can be defined in many ways. But I would
consider seamless MPLS as end-to-end, and of course in this case you
have no global IGP, you have metros having their own level2, and core
having its own level2, none of them communicate.
I've done that as well, and that's generally the approach if you
cannot justify global L2, there is no real case for L1, L1L2, L2
design.

Re: IS-IS Flat Network Size Mark Tinka via NANOG (Aug 02)
An obvious case against multi-level IS-IS is that to create end-to-end
MPLS LSP's, you need each node to have every other node in its LFIB.

If you run a tiered L1 and L2 IS-IS network, you necessarily need to
leak L2 routes into L1 for that full LFIB visibility. That automatically
negates the need to have separate IS-IS levels.

Might as well run the whole network in L2.

Mark.

Re: Carpet bombing, what's it look like now Saku Ytti via NANOG (Aug 01)
I fully agree it makes no sense. But it also makes no sense without IE
315 in most practical scenarios, and people shouldn't cache with or
without IE 315 by default, they should have explicit reason to cache.

We cache on some platforms, where they support it, and our flow
records are almost invariably 1 packet long. That is, we are spending
SERDES on the NPU to store the record in off-chip memory, let it sit
there, then later spend SERDES...
