Yeah, I'd like to reproduce/understand that too.  I actually remember
both ILMI (in ATM, sigh) and SNMPv3.  One of SNMPv3's distinguishing
features is that it DOESN'T use community strings anymore.  So I'm a bit
confused as to what the problem is.  Is there some implicit mapping from
SNMPv1/2c communities to SNMPv3 usernames/passwords? Or are the Shodan
reports referring to information leaks from SNMPv3 engine-ID discovery?
(e.g. CSCtw74132)
