Summit 09 Bonus: Licensed NetScanTools Pro - a $249 Value
All Summit 09 attendees will receive a full licensed copy of NetScanTools Pro – a
$249 value.

One of the labs for Summit 09 deals with SNMP snooping – locating information
about a device by taking advantage of available MIB (Management Information
Base) data through SNMP walking. Networks abound with SNMP-based devices
– we can use the Port Scanner tool to generate a simple UDP scan for port 161 to
discover those SNMP devices.

In NetScanTools, I discovered a few network printers supporting SNMP. I entered
ID (OID) .iso.org.dod.internet. I left the community string at the default as I was
certain no one had changed it since the printer was plugged in.certain no one had
changed it since the printer was plugged in.


The result… a 24-page document filled with information about that printer and the
other devices on the wired and wireless networks. The standard printer
information was puked out as expected, but this SNMP snoop yielded loads more
information:

  • ARP table listing devices on the wired and wireless network
  • MAC layer In/Out statistics (including errors)
  • TCP In/Out statistics (including errors)
  • UDP In/Out statistics (including errors)
  • ICMP In/Out statistics (including errors)
  • Routing table
  • List of all received/transmitted ICMP packets
  • SSIDs, channel numbers and signal strength of local WLANs - not just the
    WLAN that the printer was on and not just on the channel the printer was
    on

As I started playing a bit more and finding other unique SNMP devices, I realized I
needed to load some new MIBs - a MIB is a database of objects. I found
hundreds of MIBs available online at www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html.

One of the coolest features in NetScanTools' SNMP tool is the ability to determine
listening ports on the target without using a port scan. By generating
udpLocalPort and tcpConnState queries, I could get the list of open UDP and TCP
ports directly from the source.

























Using NetScanTools we can discover SNMP devices on the network, load an
unlimited number of additional MIBs and perform a dictionary attack to identify the
community string used by SNMP devices.

Join us at Summit 09 on December 7-9th! You'll get a copy of NetScanTools Pro
and 3 full days of hands-on individual and group labs focused on troubleshooting
and security. Don't miss it!
