Lol well this last email has sure bought a certain smile to my face or
even more so a genuine unrivalled laugh ability.

Juan, I would hold tight on the ejecter button on your seat, as your
firewall may be protecting these SNMP strings to the outside world,
however if you work for a company where people are able to hook IP
devices onto your lan, then my advise is to sort it or ship out!

Jaun,
I have no idea how you got the "Mcse Ccna Ccsa Scsa"
tailing your name,
first of all you are not authorized to do this, in a decent company you 
should get fired,
second, you had just exposed your company by posting the phone number
third, LEARN first what SNMP , then pen-test it .
I ran to security bizness coz I got sick of new IT comers, and for a
while I 
though none of them will dare to join the security bizness unless they
feel 
they are competitive. It took me 16 years before I can say yes I know 
something about Security..
when you fix all of that you might be able to pen-test anything, I hope
u 
got my point

You start by getting yer "get out of jail free card" from mgt.  If you
lack that, you are likely to get fired and then prosecuted.

thanks,

HI,



I am responsible of the security in my company.



One of the sysadmins told me that they use in one of
the networks Snmp and that the community is public.



I want to pen test this issue meaning that I want to
find ways to retrieve from the devices info, and show
the IT manager that he must change the community.



The reason that I want to do It my self is that I
don't believe in the way that is just going to him and
tell him..." its written in the internet that we must
change public community to something else.



So how or from where do I start ?



Thanks



juan
