Personally I *don't* think SNMP should be included in nmap--it would be added bloat considering the size of the mib--especially v2.
I haven't seen Fyodor pipe up about this, so I'll speak ex cathedra about it in the hopes that I don't get it wrong... I talked with Fyodor about adding RPC service portscanning to NMAP, so that NMAP would be able to query ports with null RPC commands to figure out which RPC service was listening, if any (I haven't looked at RPC closely enough to figure out if you could do this with one query, or if you'd need to send queries for every service that you'd be interested in knowing about, anyway...). Fyodor's opinion was that NMAP should try to stay away from doing 'application' level stuff as much as possible and that the identd scanning and such in the current version was pushing it. Anyway, I'd certainly think that RPC service scanning would be a hell of a lot more generally useful than teaching NMAP about SNMP, but can appreciate the sentiment behind not wanting to promote code bloat and not wanting to do either of them. So the answer to the original poster's question about SNMP+NMAP is probably "nope, that's a job for a different program." -- Lamont Granquist lamontg () raven genome washington edu Dept. of Molecular Biotechnology (206)616-5735 fax: (206)685-7344 Box 352145 / University of Washington / Seattle, WA 98195 PGP pubkey: finger lamontg () raven genome washington edu | pgp -fka
