New SilverCreek SNMP Test Suite - Winter Release(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Scotts Valley, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2013 InterWorking Labs, developers of network emulation and protocol testing products to improve the quality and operation of mobile, cloud, and wide area networks, today announced the newest version of SilverCreek, the authoritative SNMP Test Suite. SilverCreek verifies the robustness of network devices in the face of SNMP vulnerabilities and verifies the correct operation of SNMP agents and their standard and private MIBS. Detect and Diagnose Implementation Errors Engineers attempt to find and fix SNMP compliance problems by writing simple scripts that issue an SNMP command. When the agent responds, the engineer believes his test succeeded. Unfortunately, this does not prove compliance because it does not account for boundary conditions, pathological packets and a wide range of other phenomenon. Worse, a human expert is required to judge the response requiring hundreds of hours -- a waste of resources! Use SilverCreek, the SNMP Test Suite to automatically check for vulnerabilities to attacks and generate a report. Application Features The winter release of SilverCreek SNMP Test Suite combines special requests and feedback from InterWorking Labs' clientele with determinations from IWL's SNMP Advisory Board. Popular enhancements and newest features include: Automatically test the setting of multiple variables in tables simultaneously Addition of 170 new tests for RFC3289 (DIFFSERV-MIB) tables Options for handling/ignoring deprecated, dynamic, and obsolete variables Improved saving of test results in the 'txt' format Command changes to accept a list argument for object names similar to the Scotty library New "Poll Counter" tool for alerting value drops in rows More than 150 new tests such as syntax, counter and interface tests using Scapy MIB browser and MIB walker now mark the row in red color if MIB walking is terminated unexpectedly by a lexicographical order error Suppression of known errors by using new, advanced configuration parameters The latest SilverCreek release is available now for all customers with annual maintenance agreements.
