SNMP analysis with SNMPwalk
SNMPwalk is a more complex SNMP scanner that can be used to gather a wealth of information from devices with guessable SNMP community strings. SNMPwalk cycles through a series of requests to gather as much information as possible from the service.
Getting ready
To use SNMPwalk to perform SNMP analysis, you will need devices that have SNMP enabled which can be probed and inspected. In the examples provided, an installation of Windows XP is used to perform this task. For more information on setting up a Windows system, refer to the Installing Windows Server recipe in Chapter 1. Getting Started.
