Some Cisco IOS'es have numerous bugs, related to SNMP (I watched few cases,
when all Cisco's 72xx lost configuration becuase of receivbing something
bogus), so SNMP should be filtered out from public internet.

If there are new or changed SNMP RW community strings, look out!
If you have any SNMP v1/v2 RW communities what so ever, you're likely to
be owned, at least if they're common to several units in your network and
you don't limit what part of the tree the RW communities can access.
Seems like a common attack vector is to send SNMP WRITE and upload the
router configuration to a hacked tftp server, and then iterate thru the
network as a lot of people have a single SNMP WRITE community in their
