cisco-auditing-tool – Backtrack 5 – Vulnerability Assessment – Network Assessment – Cisco Tools – cisco-auditing-tool
The cisco-auditing-tool located in the Backtrack menu ( Backtrack > Vulnerability Assessment > Network Assessment > Cisco Tools ) is written in Perl and accomplishes three tasks which include attempting to brute force the telnet password on a Cisco device if telnet is running, attempting to show the iOS history on the Cisco device using a vulnerability which I believe is from the late 90’s, and attempting to brute force the SNMP community strings for the device. The tool is fairly outdated as most Cisco devices in corporate networks should now be using SSH and it would seem surprising unless you are doing an internal audit if SNMP was exposed for any Cisco devices still in service. That being said there is definitely still value if you have a ton of Cisco devices to audit you can feed a list of IP’s or hostnames into the script and check basic SNMP community strings and telnet passwords.
