snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.56.20
snmp-check 192.168.56.20 -c public

Jar SNMP open asel tar hostname, interfaces, processes, sometimes software inventory – attacker la map milto. Write community asel tar config pan badlu shakto – khup dangerous.

Defence: default communities kadhun taka; SNMPv3 (auth + encryption) prefer kara; ACL – fakt NMS IP allow; UDP 161 internet kade expose karu naka; read-only wherever possible. He khup important aahe.
