If SNMP wasn't public exposed (along with default community strings), we wouldn't ever see DDoS making use of SNMP amplification attacks.

As the senior network engineer at an ISP, I probably see this more than a lot of others here but recent history shows us that SNMP being publicly exposed is rather common.

On an ASA?

Obviously, as I mentioned downthread, even something as simple as a Shodan query can show you lots of public SNMP servers. But how many of the are firewalls?
