Re: SNMP Traffic over spoolsv.exe ?

Nick,

I see this quite a bit and have experienced it first hand on a few laptops. Check the machine and see if there are any printers added that are LPR to the other address. I have traced my packets down to the machine wanting to get status updates from the printer (# of documents, toner level, on-line status, etc)


If you don't see this to be the case and let me know.

This seems odd.... Snort is reporting every 5 minutes one of our internal PC's generating SNMP traffic to a private IP that is not part of our network. The thing is , SNMP isn't running on the system and the source port is coming from spoolsv.exe (print spooler). Here is a verbose of tcpdump, any ideas?

08:56:02.499840 x.x.x.x.1159 > 192.168.0.150.snmp: GetRequest(39) .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3[|snmp] 08:56:08.516713 x.x.x.x.1159 > 192.168.0.150.snmp: GetRequest(39) .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3[|snmp] 08:56:14.517659 x.x.x.x.1159 > 192.168.0.150.snmp: GetRequest(39) .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3[|snmp] 08:56:20.519120 x.x.x.x.1159 > 192.168.0.150.snmp: GetRequest(39) .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3[|snmp]

Here is snort output
