I agree. In order to assure that you do not get in trouble with the University, this is going to have to be signed-off on by multiple people - which I expect they will be reluctant to do. If you cannot assure yourself in writing that no action will be taken against you if anything goes awry, I recommend this be done on an isolated network equipment.

The fact that it is on a university network may cause you some problems. Penetration testing, essentially what you are doing...legal "hacking", usually involves getting permission from the /owner/, not the sysadmin, of the box. Aside from that fact, your attack traffic will be flowing across the university network, so I'm sure that there are more than just a few people in the NOC (network operations center...or the equivilent there of) who wouldn't appreciate this too much. Tread lightly. Depending on the circumstances, I can think of about two outcomes this could have if you don't cover all of your bases (and I do mean /all/) and neither is terribly pleasant.
