I have worked with the Silvercreek test suite.  Some malformed packets 
have enough information to pass to the authentication service within the 
agent.

If you do not want to have the agent emit authentication failure 
notifications then you need to set the snmpEnableAuthenTraps.0 object to 
'disabled(2)'

You can also set up tcpdump or wireshark to capture the on-the-wire SNMP 
messages to further inspect the Header and PDU contents.

See RFC 3418 for additional details.

HTH,

Mark
