No, the cutting edge in security research is and will continue to be the full disclosure mailing lists such as Bugtraq.

GSoC 2026: Password Security Wizard - Optimizing the NSE Brute Library Adithya Shetty (Mar 02)
Hi Nmap Development Team and Fotis,
My name is Adithya, and I am a 4th-semester Computer Science student
specializing in Cybersecurity. I am writing to express my strong interest
in the "Password Security Wizard" project for GSoC 2026.
Over the past few days, I have cloned the repository, set up my build
environment, and have been digging into the nselib/brute.lua library and
several of the -brute.nse scripts (specifically focusing on...
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

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...

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

Dear Nmap Community,
In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have

Re: Buffer overflow in /bin/su from UNIX v4 Alan Coopersmith (Mar 21)
I was just reporting that it had been assigned, and wasn't part of the
decision to issue it, but CVE's have never been limited to things that
are relevant, and there are many existing irrelevant CVE's already.
CVE's just require that the vulnerability be known - while many people
misuse CVE's as a "things that are important to fix" list, they were
always intended to just be a common name that can be used in...

That said, I'm sure there are other cases of historical vulnerabilities

would need CVEs from before 1999. I think...

either of them are exploitable IMO.)

Normal rulemaking goes through a comment period, as required by the
Administrative Procedures Act. The end goal of the APA is to prevent
"arbitrary and capricious" regulations.
Given that we are hearing about this now, and not when the comment
period notice was issued, I expect an injunction shortly, and eventual
rulings that this violates APA.
