Tricklet - the DNPAP's SNMP library, which is a collection of small programs designed to enable the user to do SNMP requests in a friendly way. It contains snmp-get to do snmp GET requests, snmp-set to do snmp SET requests, snmp-tbl to retrieve an SNMP table, snmp-nxt to do snmp GETNEXT requests, snmp-inf to retrieve information about an SNMP MIB variable, etc, etc.

The snmp-echo command was implemented for testing purposes only. snmp-echo can receive SNMPv1 requests and responses and can display their contents in a format that is easily parsable. GET, SET and NEXT requests are returned unchanged as responses.

*still scratching head at original poster's question regarding how echo can be used to find snmp vulnerabilities???

        My guess would be that the original poster is trying to exploit the
Solaris SNMP hole (where an echo might make some sense since its a Unix box)
but didn't know it (or at least didn't articulate it). It came across bugtraq
some time ago so a search in the bugtraq archives may be productive. I didn't
look closer than to make sure we had already disabled the program involved
(probably by removing the SUID bit from the program) so I didn't check the
details.
