Just a correction: in the second point I understand you're referring to SNMP, not SMTP. If you know the READ community string, all you can do is read SNMP OIDs values. But if the admin has configured SNMP writes ON and you also know the WRITE community string, then you can reconfigure options of the device (those options available through SNMP). -----Mensaje original----- De: kaps lock [mailto:secnerd2004 () yahoo com] Enviado el: viernes, 28 de mayo de 2004 15:17 Para: security-basics () lists securityfocus com Asunto: DNS and SMTP Hi All, I am a security new bie.I would like to know or atleast if somebody can have me some pointers to good turtorials on 1)DNS basically i want to be able to understand everything about DNS ,using nslookup,dig inorder to be a good security analyst.like how i could determine OS of a dns server ,or say how i could determine what evrsion of BIND it is using etc. 2)SMTP If somebody could tell me what is an Object ID and how does it function and how it is decided upon!!Like the tree that is followed.Also could a system be compromised if a attacker nows the communitry string? thanks a bunch in advance B __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
