Vulnerable Application

Installation instructions for SNMP server can be found for every operating system. The Ubuntu 14.04 instructions can be used as an example for installing and configuring NFS. The following was done on Kali linux:

  1. sudo apt-get install snmpd

  2. Set SNMP to listen on non-localhost: nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

# Listen for connections from the local system only #agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161 # Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 *and* IPv6) agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161
  1. Restart the service: service snmpd restart

SNMP Versions

SNMP has 3 main versions.

  • 1, 2c: both use simple password protection (string), and are often defaulted to public (read only), and private (read/write). Version 2 is backwards compatible with version 1. This is a plaintext protocol and is vulenrable to being intercepted.

  • 3: has several security levels and is significantly more complex, but also not covered in this module.

Verification Steps

  1. Install and configure SNMP

  2. Start msfconsole

  3. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/snmp/snmp_login

  4. Do: run

Confirming

Since SNMP has been around for quite a while, there are many tools which can also be used to verify this configuration issue. The following are other industry tools which can also be used.

nmap
