SNMP enumeration tool that queries SNMPv1/v2c hosts to extract system information, TCP connections, and write access for penetration testing and reconnaissance.
You know snmpcheck? Good, snmpen is doing the same. It's another enumerator for SNMP enabled hosts. It started as a drop-in replacement for snmpcheck which was no longer maintained back in 2018/2019. Nowadays, snmpen has its own heart and mind but still shares a similar CLI interface with snmpcheck.
Enumerations are happening against RFC1157-compliant systems. The heavy lifting is done by pysnmp.
pip install snmpen
For Nix or NixOS users is a package available. Keep in mind that the latest releases might only
be present in the unstable channel.
nix-env -iA nixos.snmpen
The tools support IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses and FQDNs as input.

Usage examples:
snmpen 172.16.1.1
snmpen 2001:db8::10
snmpen demo.pysnmp.com
snmpen 172.16.1.1 -o
snmpen -f hosts.txt
snmpen --output-format plain -f hosts.txt
snmpen --output-format rich -o report.txt 172.16.1.1
snmpen -c private -s 2c 172.16.1.1
snmpen -w -d -t 10 172.16.1.1
The hosts file supports one target per line. Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
When -o is used without a filename, snmpen writes one file per successful target using <target>.txt.
The system information section also shows the detected supported SNMP versions for the host (currently SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c detection).
