Even though one might have the private string, can the ISP lock the SNMP manager so you can't scan?
I understand that the ISP can lock down the SNMP manager and only allow inquires from specific IP's and subnets. But if they don't do this, how else are they able to lock it down?
In a config file I see 4 strings, 2 public & 2 private. Two always stay the same and the other public and private seem to vary every so often. What is that about? Is the ISP implementing random strings for every modem? Another way of protecting SNMP for ISP? I've seen this before but It never interfered with my scanning.
