Bingo! 'Public' is the obvious choice here. I bet the penetration testers had a field day with this one. Time to change those SNMP strings, folks!

Hmm, 'Public'? I guess the network admins were feeling a bit too 'public' with their security settings.

Definitely, the network admins should have changed that to something more secure.

Yeah, 'Public' is a common default community string. Not very secure.

I think the default community string is 'Public', right?

Well, at least they didn't discover the 'admin:password123' login credentials. That would have been a real facepalm moment.

I can't believe we left the default SNMP community strings!

Ah, the classic 'Public' default community string. How original! Looks like the penetration testers have been playing too much 'Hack the Planet' lately.
