Summary

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol which can be used by administrators to remotely manage a computer or network device. There are typically 2 modes of remote SNMP monitoring. These modes are roughly 'READ' and 'WRITE' (or PUBLIC and PRIVATE).

Solution

Solution

Determine if the detected community string is a private community string. Determine whether a public community string exposes sensitive information. Disable the SNMP service if you don't use it or change the default community string.
