13.6 SNMP Auditing
Screenshot 153: SNMP Audit tool
This tool identifies and reports weak SNMP community strings by performing a dictionary attack using
the values stored in its default dictionary file (snmp–pass.txt).
You can add new community strings to the default dictionary file by using a text editor (for example,
notepad.exe).
You can also direct the SNMP Audit tool to use other dictionary files. To achieve this, specify the path
to the dictionary file that you want to from the tool options at the right of the management console.
To perform SNMP audits on network targets and identify weak community strings:
1. Launch GFI LanGuard.
2. Click Utilities tab and select SNMP Audit in the left pane under Tools.
3. In the IP of computer running SNMP, specify the IP to reach.
4. From Common Tasks in the left pane, click on Edit SNMP Audit options or Options on the right
pane to edit the default options.
5. Click Retrieve to start the process.
