A simple network scanner that looks for SNMP agents.

SNMPScan

SNMPScan is a simple network scanner that looks for SNMP agents. Given a subnet, it sends an SNMP Get request to each host with the default community public, and if the host sends a response back, it is counted as active.

Usage: ./snmpscan [-hd] [-c community] [-r retries] [-t timeout] [-p parallel_requests] subnet

Options:

• -h: Shows the usage.
• -d: Enables debug log. Use -dd for more verbose output.
• -c: SNMP community to use for requests. Default: public.
• -r: Number of retransmissions. Default: 1.
• -t: Timeout (in ms) to wait for each request. Default: 400ms.
• -p parallel_requests: Limits the maximum number of concurrent requests. Default: 4.
• subnet: Subnet to scan. To scan a single host use a.b.c.d/32.

Compilation

SNMPScan depends on net-snmp. To install development headers on Debian, install the package libsnmp-dev:

sudo apt install libsnmp-dev

To compile SNMPScan:

make

As an example of the usage of SNMPScan, there is a simple script test.sh that spins up some Docker containers with snmpd (see tnwinc/snmp) and tries a scan.
