Wireshark uses this table to verify authentication and to decrypt encrypted SNMPv3 packets.
This table is handled by an Section 9.7, “User Table” with the following fields.
-
Engine ID
-
If given this entry will be used only for packets whose engine id is this.
This field takes an hexadecimal string in the form 0102030405.
-
Username
-
This is the userName. When a single user has more than one password
for different SNMP-engines the first entry to match both is taken, if you
need a catch all engine-id (empty) that entry should be the last one.
-
Authentication model
-
Which auth model to use (either "MD5" or "SHA1").
-
Password
-
The authentication password. Use '\xDD' for unprintable characters.
An hexadecimal password must be entered as a sequence of '\xDD' characters.
For example the hex password 010203040506 must be entered as '\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06'.
-
Privacy protocol
-
Which encryption algorithm to use (either "DES" or "AES").
-
Privacy password
-
The privacy password. Use '\xDD' for unprintable characters.
An hexadecimal password must be entered as a sequence of '\xDD' characters.
For example the hex password 010203040506 must be entered as '\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06'.
