  SNMP Self-Test Tool Released
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS

Earlier this week, the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC)
issued an official Warning telling the world that 'action may be required
to prevent the possibility of criminal exploitation by malicious hackers'
who can exploit vulnerabilities of SNMP. Newer data showed that nearly
every organization must take significant action to avoid the widespread
vulnerability. However, many user organizations do not know which systems
need to be patched or protected, because they do not know where SNMP is
running. With the help of more than a dozen government and commercial and
university testers and developers, SANS is providing a free software
package that can immediately identify where the SNMP service is running on
every system or device connected to a network.

How to get a copy:
To get a copy, email snmptool@sans.org. You will get a note back with
data on how to get the tool. SANS is using this method for distribution to
inform you when any updates are provided in the tool.

You will find more data on the tool below, followed by a couple of extra
notes of useful free reports and tools.
