To all I am not trying to get into the ISP just want to know how to help the client notify them about the issue. The tool I use does a trace route and tells information that it finds along the way. In this case it discovered the gateway before the client had a community string of public. The information displayed is in the information window which I cut out and pasted for all of your input. I believe this is on the gray area, where the service provider is providing a service to the client and their community string could leave the client open to potential harm. I have not tested the gateway merly used the information the tool has provided about the path to the target. My question is how do I provide this information to the client so they can give the information to their provider. With out trouble on anyones part. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Reynolds [mailto:reynolds25 () adelphia net] Sent: Tue 2/4/2003 7:01 PM To: Rod Strader; pen-test () securityfocus com Cc: Subject: Re: Routes that are susceptible to SNMP What about the private community string? Good chance that the RW community string is still private.

This device when looking at it shows the arp table having my clients targets IP address in it. What is the general consensus of how dangerous this is to my client. I don't know if I can change anything with same community string but I can review all the information on the device. Here is some of the information I found walking the mib: Description: Ascend Max-1800 BRI S/N: 8371001 Software +6.0.10+ This device appears to be the gateway router before their email server. The arp table still has the target in it. Please comment!
