To all I am not trying to get into the ISP just want to know how to help the client notify them about the issue.
The tool I use does a trace route and tells information that it finds along the way. In this case it discovered the gateway before the client had a community string of public.
The information displayed is in the information window which I cut out and pasted for all of your input.
I believe this is on the gray area, where the service provider is providing a service to the client and their community string could leave the client open to potential harm.
I have not tested the gateway merly used the information the tool has provided about the path to the target.
My question is how do I provide this information to the client so they can give the information to their provider. With out trouble on anyones part.

What about the private community string? Good chance that the RW community
string is still private.

Subject: Routes that are susceptible to SNMP
Good day everyone,
I am currently on a vulnerability assessment gig and found that a router
on the way to my clients target is susceptible to snmp with a community
string of public. This device when looking at it shows the arp table
having my clients targets IP address in it. What is the general
consensus of how dangerous this is to my client. I don't know if I can
change anything with same community string but I can review all the
information on the device. Here is some of the information I found
walking the mib:
Description: Ascend Max-1800 BRI S/N: 8371001 Software +6.0.10+
This device appears to be the gateway router before their email server.
The arp table still has the target in it.
Please comment!
Rod Strader
