Data from SNMP Enumeration,Worth it?



Hey everyone it Looper back again. I will Show What Kind of  Information we can get from SNMP protocol by using our Kali Machine Tools. SNMP stands for simple network management protocol. It is one of the widely accepted protocol to manage and monitor network.

SNMP enumeration is the process of using SNMP to enumerate user accounts and entire system information such as processes & services running on a target system, CPU Usage level, Dick Usage, Network settings, Network Interfaces, Listening Ports & connections, Software components, Web server Information and so on.

A computer network system that uses SNMP for network management consist of the three fundamental component:

1. SNMP manager
It is a software that usually runs on the machine of network administrator or any human manager managing the computer network

2. SNMP agent
It is a software that usually runs on the network node that is to be monitored. this node could be a printer, router,hubs,switches,etc.

3. SNMP MIB
MIB stands for management information base. It is like a database , this component makes sure that the data exchange between the manager and the agent remain structured.

We can retrieve following type of Information from it

  • System Name
  • System up time
  • Operating System
  • CPU Usage Level
  • Disk Usage Level
  • Network Setting
  • Location
  • Contact etc..


SNMP has three version so far.

SNMP v1: 
its oldest flavor of SNMP. Easy to set up only requires a plaintext community. The Biggest Downsides are that it does not support for 64 bit counters. only 32 bit counters.

SNMP v2: 
It is identical to version 1, except its support both 64 and 32 bit counters

SNMP v3:
It adds security to 64 bit counters. SNMP version 3 adds both encryption and authentication, which can be used Together or separately

SNMP enumeration attack is very useful to gather information. We can Use Simply NMAP and  SNMPWALK to Execute this attack by using proper parameters like where,-V, ETC. In Next Blog I will show you a command base Demo On Terminal.
