Just saw this in my portscan log (via snort) and decided to share with
the community so we can figure out who is scanning with what tools and
for what purpose(investigative or malicious).

Seems like they scan my 5 IP block 3 times

=======================================================
I have some generic snmp rules to catch all SNMP scans/probes.

Here is a sample packet that got

[**] SNMP/udp public access [**]
02/17-20:21:06.412571 0:A0:C5:E5:F6:93 -> 0:10:5A:F:34:B1 type:0x800
len:0x61
67.113.159.146:1504 -> X.X.X.50:161 UDP TTL:114 TOS:0x0 ID:55265
IpLen:20 DgmLen:83 Len: 63
30 35 02 01 00 04 06 70 75 62 6C 69 63 A1 28 02  05.....public.(.
04 3C 69 F1 B9 02 01 00 02 01 00 30 1A 30 0B 06  .<i........0.0..
07 2B 06 01 02 01 01 02 05 00 30 0B 06 07 2B 06  .+........0...+.
01 02 01 01 01 05 00                             .......

Every packet looks exactly the same.
Wonder if this is the SANS snmp scanning tool?

Seems like ol pacbell gives info on who they give IP blocks to! ;)

Do you think we should be reporting snmp scans to ISPs
or just a waste of time?
