Summary: Many people snmpwalking your border routers lately? SNMPc from CastleRock Computing may be to blame; they responded promptly and responsibly to my complaint - jc John Sancho wrote:
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by our discovery mechanism. We are currently in the process of changing the installation mechanism to ensure that users have control over the process before the initial startup. This new implementation will be in our next update within a few weeks. I am not sure how we can post to "bugtraq". Can you give me some more info about that ? Or perhaps you could post my message to buqtraq on our behalf. regards - john John J. Sancho john () castlerock comIn the past 3 weeks, at least 4 users of your product were contacted by me because I found them trying to snmpwalk my border router. In each case they blamed your software for scanning the Internet before filters could be applied. This will be construed as an attack by many security-conscious network administrators. Please post to bugtraq (a mailing list for security issues) a description of what SNMPc does and what you are going to do to fix this errant behavior.
