If you're the admin, why not simply use a SPAN port instead of ARP poisoning? ARP poisoning is how you audit your competitor's passwords.

I have seen an automatic audit setup on a linux server before as a cron job; just running john the ripper against the shadow file once a week and storing any weak results so the sysadmin can contact the relative users. In other words, if you are worried about broaching the subject with management, try to crack the passwords yourself - In my experience, non-techs are more convinced by actual evidence; 'I managed to crack your password in 3mins' than any amount of advice/information you can throw at them. I had to actually ARP poison my boss and sniff an FTP password to convince him to let me secure our office wifi! On 13/05/2011 12:47, wyfr1972 () gmail com wrote:
Hi folks, I have many questions on this. I've learnt a lot from SecBasics, but
now I have a few questions of my own. I want to carry out a password audit for my company, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Firstly, how do I broach the subject with management? Are there are
standards/methodologies online that I can use to back up my request to management?
Then, how do you conduct the audit? We have a mix of devices
Windows/Solaris/Unix/Checkpoint/Cisco/network printers/etc.
How do I phase the work for best effect? How do I present my
findings?
Thanks for your advice and help in advance.
